Allen Makes His Move on Klassen

Level 12 : 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

Kitkat Klassen opened for 6,000 from early position and only Jamie Allen called from the button.

The {9-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{a-Hearts} flop was checked by both players to the {7-Clubs} turn where Klassen led out for 6,000 and was faced with a 50,000 all in raise from Allen.

After some careful thought, Klassen mucked her hand and Allen collected the pot.

Kukowski Loses Race to Favreau

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Greg Kukowski
Greg Kukowski

Gregory Kukowski was all in preflop for 21,000 from the small blind and Dan Favreau looked him up from middle position.

Gregory Kukowski: {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}
Dan Favreau: {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}

Kukowski was ahead with his made hand of sevens but didn't like to hear that a tablemate mucked pocket sevens before the {a-Clubs}{5-Spades}{2-Spades} flop fell pairing Favreau's ace.

Kukowski knew he was drawing dead and the meaningless {5-Clubs} turn followed by the {a-Hearts} river completed the board ending his tournament.
