A Force to be Reckoned with, and Nice River for Koon

At the same time Jason Koon was hitting a miracle river to bust Josh Arieh down to his last lammer (96k), George Lind was busting for real to Leif Force.

Koon and Arieh got all the chips in on a {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{7-Hearts} flop.

Arieh: {q-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} for trip queens.
Koon: {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{8-Spades}{6-Spades} for an over-pair.

The board ran out {6-Hearts}{a-Diamonds} to make Koon a full house.

Williams' Up and Down Day

Level 7 : 4,000/8,000, 0 ante

It seems that David Williams has been playing from behind nearly all day. He just lost a big pot against Simeon Naydenov and cashed in his last lammer. The very next hand Naydenov shoved from the button and Williams snap-called and tabled two aces.

Nyadenov held {K-Diamonds} {2-Hearts} and the board ran {6-Diamonds} {K-Hearts} {4-Diamonds} {3-Hearts} {J-Diamonds} and Williams has some chips to fight with.

One Table, Four Players, Two Double Ups

Level 7 : 4,000/8,000, 0 ante

Over on Table 439 both short stacks doubled up at the same time. Josh Arieh doubled holding pocket aces against Koon's {9-Hearts} {8-Clubs}. The board gave Arieh a sweat when it ran {5-Clubs} {6-Hearts} {10-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds}.

Then Annette Obrestad doubled up Sebastian Saffari when he held {Q-Hearts} {J-Spades} and Obrestad held {9-Spades} {8-Hearts}. The board ran {2-Hearts} {J-Clubs} {6-Hearts} {3-Hearts} {10-Spades}.

Arieh Feels Koon's Cold, Again

Jason Koon was consolidating Josh Arieh - telling him how great he played and how unlucky he was - after he hit another lucky ace on the river.

Koon raised from the button and called when Arieh shoved.

Arieh: {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}
Koon: {a-Spades}{j-Spades}

The board ran {8-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{a-Hearts} to give Koon his ace on the river. He advances to the next round tomorrow.
