Petter Fransson open-raised all in for his whole stack of 118,000. It was looking like he'd pick up the blinds and antes, but Matt Matros called from the small blind. The big blind folded and the players showed:

Petter Fransson: {Q-Clubs}

Matros:

The flop came {J-Diamonds}

giving Fransson some outs. He could catch a {Q-?}

or a

or make a runner-runner straight. The turn fell the {10-Spades}

giving him a straight draw but the river came the {3-Spades}

and he finished second best. He headed for the rail while Matros stacked his chips, which are now over the 750,000 mark.

Elliot Smith raised to 40,000 and Lars Sundberg moved in for his last 56,000. Smith called that tiny bit more and his {8-?}

needed all sorts of help against Sundberg's {K-Spades}

. He picked up a gutshot draw on the turn but in the end Sundberg's kings held up and he doubled to 145,000. Smith is down to 450,000.

Level: 19

Blinds: 8,000/16,000

Under Pressure

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

From late position Dan Heimiller raised to 40,000 and Todd Hanks and Richard Kirsch called. The flop came {K-Hearts}

and when Heimiller bet 70,000 Hanks folded and Kirsch called. Kirsch also called Heimiller's 120,000 bet when the {K-Spades}

fell on the turn. But when the {8-Spades}

came on the river Heimiller moved all in and that was enough to get Kirsch to give up on the hand. He's down to 235,000 and Heimiller is up to 1.1 million.
