Death by Flowers for Kurganov

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante
Igor Kurganov
Igor Kurganov

Igor Kurganov was just knocked out of the tournament with Randal Flowers scooping up a big pile of chips. Flowers told us how he'd peeled Kurganov's under-the-gun raise with {9-Clubs}{7-Clubs} to see a {9-}{7-Spades}{5-Spades} flop. Kurganov check-raised Flowers' 1,500 bet to 5,000 and Flowers made the call to see an offsuit {A-} on the turn.

Kurganov then check-called a bet of 7,800 and a blank {2-} came on the river. Kurganov checked one last time and Flowers set his opponent all in for his last 28,000 or so. Apparently Kurganov had said he could've been able to fold if he'd had {A-Spades}{Q-Spades} but called off and then mucked his hand when Flowers showed two pair.

Ike Empties the Clip

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante
Isaac Haxton
Isaac Haxton

Team PokerStars Pro Online Isaac Haxton opened the action for 1,100 and the sharks circled as Paul Newey, Hans Winzeler, Carlos Chadha and small blind Steve O’Dwyer made the call. Chada asked to see how muck Haxton was playing (25,000) before they saw a flop of {q-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}.

O’Dwyer checked and Haxton had his customary pause before continuing for 4,500. Winzeler and Chadha made the call and it went three ways to the turn card {7-Diamonds}. Haxton took a bit longer and bet 8,000 leaving 13,000 behind. Winzeler threw in his cards but Chadha made the call and he too was left with around 12,000.

The river was the {j-Diamonds}. Haxton gave it more of a think and announced, “All in.” A resigned nod from Chadha saw him release his cards.

“Back to starting stack.” Haxton announced.

Loosli Runs Kings into Aces

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

After what looked to be a four or five-bet pot preflop. Sylvain Loosli moved all in on a {3-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{4-Hearts} flop and was snap-called by Sergi Lloveras.

Loosli: {K-Hearts}{K-Spades}
Lloveras: {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}

The {10-Spades} turn and {2-Hearts} river changed nothing and Lloveras doubled back up above his starting stack.
