O'Hara Doubles Through Kamran

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante

Ian O'Hara opened for 1,000 in the cutoff, and Michael Kamran three-bet to 2,700 on the button. The blinds folded, and O'Hara shoved all in for 8,050 and was called.

Kamran: {a-Hearts}{5-Clubs}
O'Hara: {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}

O'Hara had the bigger stack dominated, and a {j-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} run out was safe for his tens.

Rum with Remko on the Bahamas

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante

During the 2015 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure your host Remko Rinkema made sure to visit the John Watling's distillery and try some local Bahamian rum. It's safe to say he had a good time, and if you're in the Bahamas you should make sure to pay this place a visit.

Yoon Runs Into Kings

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante

Michael Aron opened the action with a raise to 1,000 and Michael Katz, who was one to his left, reraised to 2,500. Brian Yoon was sitting on a moderately short stack of slightly more than 10,000 and moved all in.

It was folded over to Roy Bhasin who asked Katz how much he had. "About 23 total," Katz responded. Bhasin thought for a bit before announcing that he was also all in. Katz shook his head and slid his cards to the dealer.

"I don't like where I'm at," said Yoon, as he turned over {J-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}. Bhasin held {K-Diamonds}{K-Spades} and was looking to knock out the WSOP bracelet winner.

The board ran out {Q-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{7-Spades}{8-Clubs} and Yoon said "good luck" as he stood up. "Thanks," answered Bhasin, who was sitting on an above average stack of 65,000 after the hand.

Full Stern Ahead

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante

With 35,000 already in the pot and the board complete and showing {J-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}, Bulent Demirtas checked the action over to Dani Stern who slid out a stack of blue T5,000 chips. It was enough to set Demirtas all in and he would make the call after a moment of thought.

Stern turned over {A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds} and Demirtas shook his head, a sad look coming over his face, as he turned over one card... the {J-Spades}. That was enough to send the German to the rail. Stern moved to 125,000 in chips and was one of the top stacks in the room after the hand.
