Jason vs. Jason

Level 3 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

From the gun, Jason Mercier raised to 8,000. Jason Koon called from big blind, and the flop fell {K-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{5-Hearts}. Koon checked, and Mercier bet 8,000. Koon called.

The turn was the {2-Spades}, and Koon checked again. Mercier bet 26,000, and Koon called to see the {J-Clubs} complete the board on the river. Both players checked.

Koon tabled the {K-Clubs}{5-Spades} for two pair, kings and fives, and Mercier mucked his hand.

Holz Gets Some from Ivey

Level 3 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Fedor Holz raised from the cutoff to 11,000 and Phil Ivey three-bet to 30,000 from the button. Both blinds folded and Holz made the call.

The flop brought out {6-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{3-Spades} and Holz check-called 40,000.

On the turn the {10-Clubs} hit and both players checked.

The river was the {9-Clubs} and Holz checked again. Ivey opted to check behind and the German pro showed {9-Hearts}{9-Spades} to take the pot down.

"You're going after the little kid, huh?" Holz jokingly said to Ivey.

"Who's the little kid?" Ivey said, "You're talking about yourself?"

Holz seems to be getting along with Ivey quite well, but on the felt we're expecting to see more clashes today.
