Anthony Kellen
Anthony Kellen

Anthony Kellen, currently second in the RunGood Poker Series Horseshoe Council Bluffs Casino Championship race, was all in and at risk for his last 14,500 from the hijack, and a player in middle position had him at risk.

Anthony Kellen: {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}
Opponent: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}

Kellen couldn't hit on the {4-Spades}{7-Clubs}{3-Hearts} flop, but drilled the {a-Spades} turn to take a big lead, one he wouldn't relinquish on the {8-Diamonds} river for the double.

DiStefano On the Right Side of "A Gross One"

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

"I got a gross one for ya!" Nevada's Vito DiStefano told PokerNews during the break.

In the hand in question, DiStefano raised to 2,000 from early position, and an opponent in middle position three-bet to 7,000. DiStefano four-bet shoved for 19,000, and his opponent snap-called.

Vito DiStefano: {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}
Opponent: {a-}{a-}

DiStefano went from the outhouse to the penthouse on a {7-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{2-Clubs} flop to take a commanding lead, but the {a-} turn gave his opponent a set and some hope.

"There was a lot of cursing," DiStefano said of his opponent when the {q-} hit the river, failing to bust DiStefano's flush, and he took down the double.

Currie Makes the Computer Hand Click

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Jasen Currie had 8,000 out in front of him from the hijack with a {q-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{9-Hearts} flop on the felt, and was contemplating a raise to 23,000 from an opponent in middle position.

"Set of nines?" Currie asked his opponent, who didn't respond. Currie had 20,300 total in his stack and elected to call it off.

Jasen Currie: {q-Diamonds}{7-Spades}
Opponent: {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts}

Currie's two-pair held on the {10-Clubs} turn and {8-Hearts} river to earn the double.
