Elezra Doubles with River Counterfeit

With the board reading {K-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{3-Spades}, Eli Elezra called a 400-chip bet from his opponent before the {Q-Diamonds} fell on the turn. The player checked to Elezra and he moved all in. His opponent called with the {K-Hearts}{3-Hearts} for two pair. Elezra held the {K-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} for top pair and needed help.

The river card was the help Elezra needed with the {Q-Spades} falling and counterfeiting Elezra's opponent.

Seiver Suffers Sick Suckout

Level 4 : 75/150, 0 ante

We didn't get to the table until the board had been dealt out and the players were counting out the chips, but according to the players at the table, Scott Seiver and his opponent got in a raising war preflop that ended with his opponent five-bet shoving with {a-Hearts}{3-Clubs} and Seiver calling with {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}.

Seiver was in great shape to double up, but the board ran out {k-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{q-Spades}{4-Hearts}, giving his opponent a rivered wheel and sending Seiver to the rail.

Rheem's Reaping & Dwan's Dominating

Level 4 : 75/150, 0 ante

We've just received word via poker's favorite 140-character social networking site that Chino Rheem is now up to 25,000, but we've found somebody else who's got a stack even bigger.

We caught the action between Tom Dwan and an opponent on a flop that read {K-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{8-Clubs}. Both players checked, so the dealer flipped up the {6-Hearts} on the turn. Again, his opponent checked, but this time Dwan threw out a bet worth 1,650. After about two minutes of mulling it over, the other player let his hand go.

Dwan is now on a monster stack worth more than 38,500. Small wonder that his tablemates are far too scared to play a pot with him.

Kling Gets Aces Cracked

Level 4 : 75/150, 0 ante

We aren't sure how the money got in, but Lauren Kling had her opponent all in preflop and was in great shape as she had {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds} against her opponent's {k-Clubs}{k-Spades}. However, the flop was a disaster as it came {k-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}. Kling couldn't catch up as the turn and river came {4-Spades}{3-Diamonds}. Kling is crippled down to around 650 after the break.
