"xrenanx182" Keeps Climbing

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 150 ante

"xrenanx182" raised to 2,400 from under the gun and "chonseSTEE" defended their big blind to see a {6-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{2-Spades} flop.

A series of raises saw "xrenanx182" get their 32,638 stack in the middle and "chonseSTEE" called.

"xrenanx182": {j-Clubs}{j-Hearts}
chonseSTEE: {6-Diamonds}{6-Spades}

"chonseSTEE" took the lead after flopping a set of sixes but the victory was short lived as the {j-Diamonds} appeared on the turn putting "xrenanx182" back out front.

A meaningless {k-Hearts} fell on the river and secured "xrenanx182" the double-up.

Smith Fires Twice

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Elliot "4rebmun" Smith raised to 3,520 from middle position and "da_malganus" three-bet to 10,400 from the next virtual seat over. Action folded back around to Smith who four-bet all in for 46,789 and "da_malganus" snap-called.

"da_malganus": {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}
Elliot "4rebmun" Smith: {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}

It was a classic race with Smith looking to hold with his pocket pair but a king appeared on the {k-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{8-Hearts} flop putting "da_malganus" in the lead.

The {a-Hearts} turn improved "da_malganus" to two-pair and Smith needed a ten to fall on the river to win the pot. Unfortunately for him, a duck {2-Spades} completed the board and Smith re-entered the tournament.
