"Play Bad and Win is My Strategy"; Von Kriegenbergh Now Over 300K

[user80015]

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Catching the action on the turn with the board reading , a healthy pot was brewing between Thomas Popov and Taylor von Kriegenbergh.

Popov had bet 58,000 — effectively all in since he left just a 1,000-denomination chip to cap his cards — and von Kriegenbergh was deep into the tank. Several minutes went by before von Kriegenbergh pushed out a stack of orange 5,000-denomination chips and Popov tossed in his last chip to call all in.

Popov:
Von Kriegenbergh:

With Popov in the lead with his overpair and needing to fade a five, four, or ace, the dealer would smack the on the river to send Popov off to the rail in a hurry as von Kriegenbergh was pushed the pot to send him to over 300,000.

As von Kriegenbergh began raking in the pot, he discussed the hand a little with the players around him before concluding, "play bad and win is my strategy!"

Greenwood Knocks Calderaro Out

Happy_Freaked

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

World Poker Tour winner James Calderaro has just been knocked out by Lucas Greenwood.

The action started with a raise to 4,000 from middle position by the Canadian player and a Calderaro three-bet from the cutoff to 9,000. It folded back to Greenwood who looked at Calderaro's stack for a few seconds before sliding a big stack of orange chips forward. This was enough to put his opponent all in, and after about 25 seconds Calderaro called off his remaining 40,000 chips.

Calderaro:
Greenwood:

The board ran out , and the king on the river ended Calderaro's chances of making it deep in this year's Main Event.

Negreanu Off to Good Start

[user272102]

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

We weren't able to catch how he did it, but we did notice that Daniel Negreanu is now sitting with significantly more chips than what he had to start the day — more than double, to be exact — so it's safe to assume that he likely scored a double-up during early action.
