Set of Kings Not Enough For Kagawa

[user67765]

Masa Kagawa has taken a terribly bad beat after he had two players all in preflop with his {K-Diamonds}

well ahead of his opponent's {J-Spades}

and

.

Things got even better for Kagawa on the {K-Hearts}

flop as he picked up a set, leaving both opponents drawing to running help. Kagawa then watched on in horror as the {9-Hearts}

Vanessa Rousso has been sent crashing to the rail after a huge clash with David Pham.

Pham recalled the hand to us and said that Rousso had raised preflop to 4,000 with Pham defending his big blind with {Q-Clubs}

.

The flop of {Q-?}

was enough for the two to get all their chips into the middle with Pham's two pair in trouble against Rousso's set of jacks. However another queen on the turn changed things around, giving Pham a bigger full house and the massive pot.

Rousso is eliminated as Pham assumes the tournament chip lead with 241,000 chips.

Kostritsyn Represents Rockets, But Rolled Out The Door By Pham

[user67765]

We didn't catch the preflop betting action, but from all reports it was a pretty intense series of raises between Alexander Kostritsyn and David Pham which led to Kostritsyn moving all in and Pham considering a fold with his {K-Spades}

.

"You have aces?" quizzed Pham of his opponent. He eventually made the call and Kostritsyn could only muster up {7-Hearts}

.

The board fell {10-Clubs}

and Pham eliminates the Russian superstar to jump up to 190,000 and take his place near the very top of the chip count leaderboard.
