Level 24
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Dotan Kelijman opened to 40,000 from middle position, before Robert Douras three-bet jammed from the button for 320,000.
Alexandru Danes was in the big blind, and he took some time to think before cold four-bet jamming with the covering stack. Kelijman got out of the way after a brief period of thought.
Robert Douras: K♣Q♣ 
Alexandru Danes: Q♥Q♠
Douras was in trouble with a single overcard to Danes' pocket queens, and the 7♣7♦3♦2♦5♦ runout contained no surprises, sending a monster pot to the Frenchman.

Level 24
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
In the 893rd episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway, Mike Holtz, and Kyna England celebrate Jeff Madsen's 40th birthday before talking about two poker players who murdered their parents. Recently in Texas, Benjamin Frakes, 39, was taken into custody at Doghouse Poker Club in Cypress, a town 25 miles northwest of Downtown Houston. He was charged with capital murder for allegedly shooting his parents.
The tragic situation was reminiscent of poker player Ernie Scherer, who was convicted in 2011 of killing his parents in an elaborate plot to collect an inheritance. It's a true crime story that's been featured on 48 Hours but often overlooked by the poker world, that is, until the crew takes a look back in history and shares details of the horrific crime.
Chad then offers a behind-the-scenes look at Daniel Negreanu's 25K Fantasy Draft, including an interview with the man himself, before recapping recent tournament winners from the Triton Montenegro, including Jesse Lonis, Jason Koon, and Aleksa Pavicevic. Other stories covered include the return of the PokerStars Big Game and a preview of the Bar Poker Open coming to the Golden Nugget Las Vegas from June 8-13.
