So Long from Solano

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Maury Solano three-bet an opponent and made it 8,100 to go. His opponent, who had raised to 4,500 initially, tanked for a minute or so before he went all in.

"I can't keep raising and folding," the player said, as he put the rest of his 25,900 stack into the pot.

Solano took a little time before he called. As it turned out, Solano was in a very strong spot with the {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts} against his opponent's {a-Spades}{j-Diamonds}. The board ran out {k-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{10-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}, and Solano won the pot.

Turn King for Kuether

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Joe Kuether went heads up with an opponent to the flop. The flop was {2-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{6-Spades}, and his opponent led out for 3,500 into a pot of about about 5,500. Kuether called.

The turn was the {k-Spades}, and Kuether's opponent checked. Kuether bet 3,900, and his opponent called.

The river was the {4-Hearts}, and the action checked to Kuether again. Kuether went all in for 13,000 and got called. Kuether turned over the {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}, and his opponent turned over the {j-Spades}{7-Spades}. Kuether won the pot with top pair and doubled up.
