Fox Sends Klein Out the Door on an Action Flop

Level 2 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

The flop was showing {j-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} when Bill Klein and Elio Fox moved all of their chips into the middle. Fox tabled {q-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for a flush with a straight draw and Klein tabled {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds} for a set.

A {k-Diamonds} fell on the turn, giving Fox the straight and the {6-Hearts} on the river did not improve Klein's hand, as he was eliminated to Fox's flush.

Cooler Earns Yu a Double and Puts Greenberg on Peanuts

Level 1 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Bryn Kenney opened with a raise to 3,000 and was called by Larry Greenberg in the small blind and Ben Yu in the big blind.

The flop was {5-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{3-Hearts} and Greenberg checked. Yu put out a bet of 6,500 and Kenney folded. Greenberg then thought about it for a bit and raised, making it 20,000. Yu thought himself, then moved all in for 123,000. Kenney folded and Greenberg called quickly, putting Yu at risk with his bigger stack.

Ben Yu: {7-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}
Larry Greenberg: {5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}

The board completed with the {10-Clubs} on the turn and the {k-Clubs} on the river so Yu held on to double through Greenberg.

"I was on the other end of one of these the last time I busted," Greenberg said after the hand.
