Hart Takes Down a Big One

[user270022]

Level 6 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

On the flop of a board, action checked to Jason Koon who slid out a small bet worth 10,000. [Removed:412] called and Kevin Hart came over the top with an all-in jam worth 73,000. Koon flatted and Kruk moved all-in as well for about 55,000.

Hart:
Koon:
Kruk:

Everyone had something with Kruk having the best of it with his aces. The changed nothing but a on the river gave Hart a flush sending Kruk to the rail and leaving Koon among the short-stacks.

Second Bullet Working for Seidel

[user270022]

Level 8 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

After collecting his thoughts for a moment and returning to the table with a fresh stack, Erik Seidel immediately went on the offensive busting Lawrence Greenberg.

A few hands later, Seidel opened to 11,500 from late position only to see Chris Hunichen three-bet to 34,000 in the cutoff. Seidel took a moment before moving all-in and as time wound down, Hunichen sent his cards to the muck.
