A player under the gun shoved for 10,500 and got one call for slightly less, and Nick Pupillo picked up {k-}{k-} and put both at risk. He was against {j-}{j-} and {a-}{k-Hearts} and managed to hold despite three hearts hitting the flop.

Vang Busts Jivkov

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Big blind Kou Vang checked on the end in a small pot with the community having come {4-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{9-Clubs}. Former Mid-States Poker Tour champ Nick Jivkov bet 1,500, and Vang put him all in for 8,300 more. Jivkov thought for a minute before flipping in his T5,000 chip, and Vang turned over {4-Spades}{4-Clubs} for a boat.

At another table, John Hayes entered the tournament.

Kroon's Shove Wins

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante
Mark ""P0ker H0" Kroon
Mark ""P0ker H0" Kroon

Mark Kroon called a raise of 4,500 from the button, and his opponent in middle position continuation-bet 7,500 on a {k-Spades}{q-Hearts}{9-Hearts} flop. Kroon called, and a {3-Hearts} hit. The middle player checked, and Kroon bet 7,525. His opponent tossed in 3,525, thinking that was the bet, and lamented that he should have asked before calling the proper amount. He checked the {k-Clubs} river, and Kroon shoved. His opponent asked for a count, and it looked to be about 30,000, roughly pot-sized. The player mucked after a couple of minutes.

"Good laydown," Kroon said. "I killed that flop."

Bohn Doubles Up

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante
Blake Bohn
Blake Bohn

Blake Bohn got his last 13,525 in preflop with {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds} against {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}. Kings have been a cursed hand lately according to Bohn's twitter feed, as he's repeatedly dropped monster pots in various tournaments, and things looked no different this time as {q-Hearts}{7-Spades}{5-Hearts} flopped. The {3-Hearts} turn helped Bohn with a four-flush, and the {k-Clubs} river was one of the cards he needed to take the pot.

"That would have been 1-for-11," Bohn said of his recent skid with cowboys.
