Two More Joiners; Bonacci Doubles Through Kroon

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Mark Kroon bet about 2,700 from the button after a couple of players checked to him on an {8-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{2-Clubs} flop. Frank Bonacci shoved all in, and Kroon snapped him off for 23,400 total.

Kroon: {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}
Bonacci: {a-Clubs}{8-Clubs}

Bonacci needed a club and hit not one but two as the {6-Clubs} and {7-Clubs} hit the felt.

Meanwhile, Scott Ball and Ryan Van Sanford have sat in.

"Good Turn Card For Your Hand?"

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Todd Tooley and Scott Ball put in 6,000 apiece from the cutoff and button, respectively, on a flop of {q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}. The turn came a {4-Diamonds} and Tooley checked with Ball staring him down. Ball bet 7,000. Tooley came back with 25,000, enough to put Ball all in, and he folded.

"Good turn card for your hand?" he asked.

"I don't even know if I liked the turn," Tooley said.

Kindred Gets a Nice River

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Justin Kindred was in the cutoff and check-called what looked like 7,300 from Patrick Clarke on a {9-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} flop. Both checked the {q-Diamonds} and a {9-Clubs} hit the river. Kindred came out betting with 9,500, and Clarke called. Kindred showed {a-Spades}{9-Spades} which got a snort of disgust and a muck from Clarke.

Phillips Doubles Through Kroon

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Nacho Barbero bet 5,100 on a {6-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} flop, and Samuel Phillips called in the cutoff. Big blind Mark Kroon woke up with a raise to 14,000, chasing Barbero away. Phillips moved all in though, and Kroon called for 36,600 total.

Kroon: {a-Spades}{8-Spades}
Phillips: {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}

The turn brought a {j-Diamonds} to put Phillips way ahead. The river {a-Clubs} sealed it for him, and Barbero thanked Kroon for getting him to fold what he said was two kings.
