Faunce Finds Another Victim

Level 14 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

All the chips went in preflop with Nicholas Faunce in the middle position and the player in the late position being covered by Faunce for around 115,000.

Late Position: {a-Clubs}{q-Spades}
Nicholas Faunce: {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}

The flop came {3-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{7-Clubs} for both of them to hit top pair but keep Faunce ahead.

"Fuck!" Faunce said as he saw a {q-} but the dealer accidentally revealed the burn card instead of the turn which was the {10-Spades}.

The river completed the board with the {k-Spades} for Faunce to improve to two pair to eliminate his opponent.

Filippone Doubles Up

Level 13 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

The flop read {4-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}, the player in the big blind bet 18,000 and John Filippone shoved from the hjiack for 26,000. His opponent contemplated for a bit and then made the call.

"Ten," Filippone said before showing {k-Diamonds}{10-Spades}.

"Nothing yet..." his opponent shrugged and then showed {a-Spades}{j-Clubs}.

The rest of the board was completed with the {2-Spades} on the turn and the {7-Clubs} on the river to keep Filippone ahead and double him up.
