Hordan Runs Kings into Aces

Level 8 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Remy Hordan and Marcel Pospisil had all their chips in the middle in a pre-flop cooler scenario. Hordan was all-in and at risk with pocket kings while his opponent had pocket-aces.

The kings failed to connect on the flop and Hordan exited the tournament room after the {q-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{5-Spades} runout.

Corentin Alves opened to 2,800 from early position and was called by Steven Smith on the button and David Ash in the big blind.

Action checked to Smith on the {k-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{3-Clubs} flop and he bet 3,600. Both players called. The {2-Spades} turn checked through to the {7-Diamonds} river.

Ash bet 11,000 before Alves moved all-in for around 30,000. Smith got out of the way and Ash made a quick call.

Alves turned over his {k-Spades}{k-Hearts} for a set of kings while Ash exposed his {4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} for a flopped middle set. The table erupted as Alves raked in a needed double.

Three Times the Charm for Smith

Level 10 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

On a board of {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{5-Spades} Steven Smith bet 7,100 which was called by Tommy Lievens.

Smith continued the aggression on the {6-Clubs} turn for 12,500 again called by Lievens. A river of {5-Hearts} allowed Smith to fire the third barrel for 16,000 which was too much for Lievens who folded.
