Bonding Doubles Through Verrett

[user67765]

We approached the table with the cards already out, but we assume that the chips were all in preflop. Steve Verrett was holding pocket sevens but cutting down chips to pay off his short-stacked opponent, Lars Bonding, who held {K-Diamonds}

on a board of {10-Hearts}

.

Bonding doubles up to 210,000 with Verrett now slipping back to 150,000.

Brian Lemke Doubles Up

[user108095]

Matthias Neu raised to 20,000 preflop and Brian Lemke reraised all in for 155,000. Neu tanked for nearly a minute before calling.

Lemke showed pocket fours and trailed Neu's pocket eightss, but a four in the window changed things as the flop came {4-Diamonds}

. When Neu bricked with the {A-Clubs}

on the turn and {10-Clubs}

on the river, Lemke doubled to 310,000.

Boyd Kopp'd

[user67765]

Terry Boyd has been eliminated after moving his last 35,000 into the middle from early position, before Faraz Jaka min-raised to 62,000 from the cutoff. Next to speak was Billy Kopp who reraised again, making it 160,000 to play. Boyd didn't mind the protection, but Jaka released and the cards were tabled.

Boyd: {8-Diamonds}
