Brandon Schaefer Likes Pocket Kings

Brandon Schaefer
Brandon Schaefer
Brandon Schaefer flopped a set of Kings and trapped his opponent who held pocket Jacks. On a board of A-K-7, both he and his opponent checked. A rag fell on the turn and Schaefer bet out. His opponent moved all in for about 5,000. Schaefer quickly called with his set and his eyes on dragging a pot worth almost 20K. His opponent reluctantly flipped over J-J and could not improve his hand on the river. Schaefer took down the pot and has around 20,000 in chips.

Phil Gordon's Frustration Mounts

Phil Gordon opened the pot for 750 from EP and the small blind called. The flop was {9-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}. The small blind bet 600 and Gordon called. The turn was the {8-Diamonds}. The small blind bet out another 1,200 and Gordon called. The river was the {K-Clubs}. The small blind checked and Gordon checked behind. The small blind showed {2-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} and Gordon let out a huge sigh as he mucked his cards.

Only a couple of hands later, Gordon took his pocket fours up against a severely short-stacked opponent's pre-flop all in with A-Q. Gordon lost that race when the board ran out {10-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}, and he shipped about another 2,000 across the table.

After both hands, Gordon had 9,800 remaining in his stack.
