Mark Koeln
Mark Koeln

The small blind checked a {7-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{5-Hearts} flop over Mark Koeln, who bet 4,300 from under the gun. The small blind check-raised to 12,000, and Koeln called.

The {q-Diamonds} fell on the turn, and the small blind checked again. Koeln put a column of chips in the pot, enough to cover the small blind's last 50,000, and the small blind quickly folded.

Havener Holds For a Near Double

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

On a {4-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{2-Spades} flop, a raising war broke out between the hijack and Donald Havener on the button, that resulted in the hijack getting his last 70,000 chips in the middle, and Havener made the call, having the hijack covered by just a few thousand chips.

Opponent: {k-Spades}{q-Spades}
Don Havener: {k-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}

Havener's top pair was ahead, but he was looking to fade a host of outs, as his opponent held a flush draw and a queen for outs. The {9-Diamonds} turn and {10-Diamonds} river bricked off, and Havener scooped in the big pot and eliminated his opponent.

Koeln's Mega Heater Gets Cooled Off a Bit

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Josh Tucker raised to 3,600 from the hijack, and Mark Koeln, who just finished collecting another huge pot at Table 48, called on the button.

Tucker bet 7,500 when the {2-Clubs} fell on the turn, and Koeln called again.

Both players quickly checked the {6-Clubs} river, and Koeln tabled {a-Spades}{9-Hearts}. He was outkicked, however, as Tucker showed {a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} for the winner.
