Kusters Knocks Out Harrysson

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante

Jan Kusters had raised from the early position and Jonas Harrysson shoved from the button for around 13,000. The blinds folded and Kusters called.

Jonas Harrysson: {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}
Jan Kusters: {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}

The flop came {5-Hearts}{k-Spades}{5-Spades} for Kusters to hit the higher two pair.

The turn was the {a-Spades} for Kusters to improve his hand.

Only a queen could save Harrysson but the river completed the board with the {3-Hearts} as he was sent to the rail.

Patane Rivers a Broadway

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante

The board read {q-Hearts}{5-Spades}{10-Clubs}{j-Hearts} with around 24,000 in the middle already.

Ali Reza Afghahi had checked from the early position and Angelo Patane shoved in the middle position. Afghahi confirmed Patane had 18,500 behind and contemplated his options for a while before making the call. Patane tabled {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds} for the overpair. Afghahi had {k-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} for the pair of queens and open-ended straight draw.

The river completed the board with the {k-Diamonds} to give Afghahi two pair but it also gave Patane the Broadway to double up with.
