Kolonias Doubles Through Meregal

Level 22 : 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

The action folded to Maduka Meragal in the small blind who just limped in. Alexandros Kolonias raised to 1,200,000 in the big blind and Meragal called. The flop came {q-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{2-Clubs} and the two players got all of the chips in the middle with Kolonias at risk for 5,000,000.

Kolonias: {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}
Meragal: {10-Clubs}{7-Clubs}

Kolonias was looking to dodge a club and the {k-Spades} on the turn limited his opponent's outs even more. The river was the {7-Hearts} and Meragal sent over a double up.

Terrible Runout for Kay

Level 22 : 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Chartrand: {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}
Kay: {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}

The flop came {8-Clubs}{7-Spades}{5-Clubs} to give Chartrand a straight draw. The {4-Diamonds} on the turn changed nothing but the {6-Spades} on the river completed Chartrand's straight. Kay saw his pocket kings cracked and fell to around seven big blinds.
