Ice Ice Baby

Andy "BKiCe" Seth raised to 3,900 in mid position and then called the push for 11,000 total from the gentleman on the button.

Seth's pocket sixes held up when his opponent's {K-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds} failed to spike, and while his unfortunate opponent is bust, Seth is up to 96,000.

So Sick

World Heads Up Champion from a couple of years ago, Jeff Kimber has just been on a sick run of form to see his stack grow to 60,000.

The details are a bit rough but it went a little something like this:

All in for his last 11,000 with {Q-?} {10-?} he was called by a player who was holding {A-?} {K-?} and the board ran {K-?} {4-?} {4-?} {Q-?} {Q-?}.

The next hand he pushed from UTG with {A-Spades} {Q-Spades} and again found a caller with {A-?} {K-?}. Kimber went miles behind on the {K-Spades} {K-?} {2-?} flop but running spades were enough to get him out of it for another double up.

The last hand saw Kimber's turn to have {A-?} {K-?} and was up against an opponent's {3-?} {3-?}. No such sweat for him though as the flop came {A-?} {A-?} {A-?}! There was room to run salt into his opponent's wounds though as a three fell on the river.

Sebok Doubles, Opponent Complains

A short-stacked Joe Sebok has doubled up with {K-Spades} {Q-Hearts} in late position against the {7-Hearts} {8-Clubs} of a young gentleman in early position who was loudly complaining about something as the board came down a decisive {Q-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} {9-Hearts} {3-Diamonds} {4-Spades}. He's up to a still fairly shaky 25,000.

Man from Down Under Goes Under

Australian online pro Stephen Leonard is bust. He was all in on the river of a {6-?} {A-?} {3-?} {2-?} {Q-?} board and his opponent turned over {4-?} {5-?} for the nuts; Leonard mucked. The dealer tried to make him show his hand on the grounds that he was all in and all-in players have to show their cards, but Leonard threw his hand into the muck and a discussion began among the other players at the table over whether he should have had to show while Leonard was waiting for the floorman with his payout slip. Either way, he didn't and he's out.

No Slip Up

British former soap star, Michael Greco has just tripled up to 72,000. He was sitting in the BB and checked his option after two players limped. The {6-Hearts} {K-Diamonds} {10-Spades} flop brought about lot's of action with all three of them moving in.

Greco had {10-Clubs} {6-Spades} that was ahead of his opponents's {K-Clubs} {5-Clubs} and {K-Spades} {J-Spades}. The turn {8-Spades} and river {2-Clubs} kept it that way and Greco celebrated by clapping his hands together.

Enter the Dragan

Dragan Galic, who recently was chip leader all the way through the San Remo EPT before busting out in 5th place, is now up to 150,000 after busting Eddylee Martin.
