Gamble Calls Off Kenney

Level 2 : 500/1,500, 0 ante

Nathan Gamble fired a bet of 17,000 on the river of a {10-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{j-Hearts} board only to see Bryn Kenney come over the top with a raise to 65,000.

Gamble quickly called and Kenney tabled the {q-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{7-Hearts}. Gamble turned over the {3-Hearts}{3-Spades}{a-Clubs}{a-Spades} and his set was good.

Kenney was left with just 21,000 and busted a few moments later.

Negreanu Has Heaps

Level 4 : 1,000/2,000, 0 ante

Daniel Negreanu has stacked yet another opponent to increase his already sizeable lead on the field. When we reached the table the dust had already settled and Negreanu was being pushed a pile of chips.

In the middle of the table lay a {7-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{4-Hearts} board. Negreanu had tabled the {5-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{10-Clubs} making a straight and besting his opponent's {9-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}.

Sklar Doubles Up

Level 4 : 1,000/2,000, 0 ante

On the flop of a {5-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{j-Clubs} board with about 20,000 in the middle, Richard Sklar bet 12,000 and called a check-raise by his heads-up opponent to 32,000.

The {6-Clubs} hit on the turn and Sklar's opponent slid out a bet covering Sklar's remaining stack and he made the call putting his tourney life on the line.

Opponent: {8-Clubs}{8-Spades}{10-Clubs}{q-Clubs}
Sklar: {7-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{3-Spades}{j-Spades}

Sklar was ahead with his straight and was able to fade the board pairing on the river to earn the double up.
