And on the River...

[user37786]

Pete de Best raised to 30,000 and Nathan Doudney moved all in for his last 120,000. De Best thought a bit before finally making the call with A-K to Doudney's pocket eights.

De Best flopped a king and the rest of the hand looked to be a mere formality...when the {8-Clubs}

spiked on the river. De Best put his hands on his head in disbelief as the pot was pushed the other way, and he's now down to around 80,000. Doudney sits with around 290,000.

Kings for Vukasin

[user38971]

Preflop, Adam Katz made it 26,000 to go from middle position. Duncan Bell called, as did the player on the button and small blind. Frank Vukasin, from the big blind, moved all in for another 110,000 on top. Katz got out of the way, but Duncan Bell, who had Frank covered, moved all in as well and everyone else folded.

Bell showed A-K while Frank held pocket kings. The kings held up for Frank and after the hand he is up to 410,000.

trailed Casper's {10-Clubs}

and though Ditzik picked up a gutshot straight draw by the turn he didn't get there on the river and Casper doubled up to around 280,000.
