With two players seeing a board of K♥J♦9♥ and around 15,000 in the middle, Thomas Eychenne checked from the small blind and Farah Galfond bet 5,000 from under the gun. Eychenne made the call.

Galfond bet 16,000 when checked to on the 3♠ turn and this time it was enough to force a fold from Eychenne.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Action was picked up on the turn with the board reading 6♥6♣2♦10♠ in a pot between Dan Sepiol from the cutoff and Martin Raus from the small blind.

Raus checked to Sepiol who bet for 7,000 and Raus quickly put in the call.

On the 5♣ river, Sepiol cut out a bet of 24,000 which sent Raus into the tank. After around two minutes of deliberation he cut out calling chips and tossed them into the middle. He got the bad news immediately as Sepiol tabled 2♠2♣ for a flopped full house as he dragged the pot.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Chance Kornuth opened to 4,000 from under the gun and Lily Kiletto called next to act. On the button, Timothy Pai jammed for his remaining 28,500. Kornuth took some time before he rejammed, and Kiletto folded.

"I wanted to play!" bemoaned Kiletto as she folded K♥Q♥ face up.

"That's not what I wanted to see," responded Kornuth as he saw her hand.

Timothy Pai: A♠K♦ All in
Chance Kornuth: K♠Q♦

Pai was in good shape for the double and it stayed that way on the 6♥4♦2♦A♥7♠ runout as Kornuth was drawing dead on the turn and Pai got the full double with some overlay.

Chance Kornuth	90,000 36,500	36,500

"I'd Have Lost a Lot of Money"

Chad Holloway

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Action folded around to former PokerNews reporter Mo Nuwwarah on the button and he raised to 4,500. Joe Serock defended from the big blind and the flop came down 10♦5♥2♠.

Both players checked, the dealer turned the 7♠, and Serock bet 11,000. Nuwwarah quickly folded and Serock shot his hands up and said, "How do you know?"

Serock then showed the K♣10♣ for top pair.

"I'm glad there weren't a lot of clubs on board," Nuwwarah replied. "I'd have lost a lot of money."

It wasn't the most exciting of hands, but it was a good excuse to update you on both players, who have both increased their chip stacks.
