Newey Doubles

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

Paul Newey still has less than the starting stack of 30,000, but he's a lot closer to it now after just doubling up. The board read {K-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} when Newey's opponent put him all in for his final 7,300. Newey quickly called and tabled [AcAd and he was in terrific shape to double up.

Newey's opponent showed {K-Spades}{6-Hearts} and the river did not help him as the {5-Clubs} popped up.

Kuether Gets His Revenge

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

Earlier in the day we reported a hand where Giuseppe Polichetti took a decent sized pot off of Joe Kuether early on. Now, mid-way through level four, Kuether has exacted revenge. The completed board read {8-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} and there was what looked to be around 13,000 already in the center of the table.

Polichetti checked the river and Kuether dropped forward a bet of 9,500. This bet sent Polichetti into the tank for right around two minutes. Eventually, Polichetti called and Kuether showed him {8-Clubs}{6-Clubs} for a full house. Polichetti mucked his hand and Kuether dragged in the pot. The American is now sitting right around 52,000 in chips.

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

On the board of {Q-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{5-Hearts}, there was around 2,000 in the middle in a hand between David Williams and one other players. Williams was faced with a bet of 1,300 from his opponent and decided to raise it up to 3,800. After asking how many chips Williams had behind, which was about 15,000, his opponent reraised to 10,300. Williams folded.
