Tony Korfman Doubles Up Through Leon Lewis

[user37786]

After Korfman raised to 70,000, Lewis re-raised for an additional 100K. Korfman mused over the situation before putting both hands behind his stack and pushing it forward. It cost Lewis another 100K to call and when he did Korfman turned over {K-Diamonds}

, which led Lewis' {Q-Hearts}

.

The

flop gave Korfman two pair and the {5-Diamonds}

on the turn sealed the deal. Korfmann doubled up to 580,000, which Lewis saw his stack reduced to 410K.

Aces Again

[user37786]

While under the gun Tony Korfman raised to 60K and Thomas Catanzaro and Ernest Bennett called. From the big blind Rod Clarida moved in for 470K more, which induced Korfman and Catanzaro to fold.

Bennett arranged the chips he needed to call and positioned them beside his cards. He thought it over, but decided to toss his cards in the middle instead of pushing in his chips. Clarida slapped his pocket Aces on the table and said that he wanted a call. Bennett said he folded pocket Sixes and, who knows, "There could've been a six on the flop!". Clarida will have to be content with his 700,000 stack.

Thomas Catanzaro Doubles Up

[user37786]

The short stacks keep doubling up. This time it was Catanzaro, who moved all-in from the big blind after Ernest Bennett raised to 195K from the cutoff. Bennett had J-10, Catanzaro pocket Sixes, and the {7-Clubs}

didn't connect with Bennett. He now has 1,200,000 chips, while Catanzaro doubled up to 520,000.

We Know How He Plays This Hand

[user37786]

In the small blind Bennett raised to 200,000, and Clarida re-raised an additional 200K. Bennett folded...and once again Clarida flipped over Aces. He now has 1,005,000 compared to Bennett's 1,100,000.

You Play That Garbage?

[user37786]

Ed Smith raised, Tony Korfman moved all in, Smith called...and they both turned over A-Q. Neither player made the flush and so they chopped up the blinds and antes and we'll go from there.
