With a raise to 300 in front of him, Gary DeBernardi three-bet to 750, and the raiser called to see a heads-up flop.
It came 
, and Mr. Raiser check-called another 825 from "Debo". They both checked through the 
turn, and the 
put trips on board on fifth street. The Raiser led out with a small bet of 300, and DeBernardi quickly flicked 1,300 into the pot. His opponent called reluctantly.
DeBernardi tabled 
for the best nines full, and it was good enough to take it down just as his fellow-Wisconsinite Mark Kroon was involved in a big pot two tables over...

Mark "P0ker H0" Kroon entered a hand from under the gun and only the small blind would play with him. Before the dealer spread the flop Kroon warned his opponent that if he shouted "Crabcakes and football!" that meant he flopped the nuts.
The dealer spread the 
flop and Kroon shouted "Crabcakes and football!"
His opponent checked, Kroon bet and his opponent quickly moved all in. Kroon moved his chips all in just as fast and tabled 
. "I told you what I would do sir," Kroon said.
His opponent tabled 
and was in need of help to win the hand. He bricked when the board completed 
and Kroon chipped up considerably to around 30,000.

We picked up the preflop action as Roland Isra was three-betting from the button behind a cutoff raise. Mr. Cutoff raised it right back to a total of 1,725, and Isra made the call to see the flop.
It came 
, and the aggressor quickly bet 3,000. Isra called just as quickly, and the 
hit fourth street. "All in," came the instant announcement from the cutoff. It was 14,600 total, and Isra gave it just a cursory look before surrendering his cards into the muck.
Isra finished sixth in the WSOPC Main Event in Atlantic City a month ago, and he's already notched two deep runs in preliminary events here in Council Bluffs.
