Kings Win For Poggi, But Not For Asher
Level 5
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Santi Poggi had a raise of 13,500 in front of him from early position before Mike Morgan moved all in for 30,000 in middle position. Poggi called to put Morgan at risk.
Mike Morgan: Q♦Q♠
Santi Poggi: K♠K♥
Poggi had Morgan dominated with his kings, and the board ran out 3♣8♦3♦4♣K♦ to improve him to a full house and send Morgan to the rail.
At the same time on another table, Andrew Asher committed his last 18,000 from the cutoff on a flop of 2♦8♥3♠ and was up against Damon Muehl in middle position.
Andrew Asher: K♠K♦
Damon Muehl: 2♣2♥
Muehl had spiked a set on the flop to take the lead, and the J♣ turn and A♣ river were no help to Asher as Muehl scored the knockout.
