McKeehen Loses Some Chips

Level 22 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Chris Karambinis in early position opened to 28,000 and Joe McKeehen made the call on the button. The flop came {10-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{j-Spades}, Karambinis bet 32,000, and McKeehen called. The {k-Diamonds} turn then brought a bet of 75,000 from Karambinis, and McKeehen called again.

The river was the {a-Clubs} and both players checked. Karambinis tabled {a-Spades}{5-Diamonds} and it was enough to make McKeehen send his hand to the muck.

Banish Spikes a Deuce to Double Up

Level 22 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Kris Klimosko raised to 30,000 from the cutoff and Brian Banish moved all in for 153,000 from the big blind. Klimosko thought it over for a bit and called, turning over {a-Hearts}{5-Hearts}. "I didn't look yet," said Banish as he turned over his {7-Spades}{2-Spades}.

The dealer fanned the {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} flop and Banish paired his deuce to take the lead. The turn brought the {6-Spades} and the {3-Diamonds} hit the river. Banish's flopped pair of deuces was enough to earn him the pot and he doubled through Klimosko.

Rob Brown
Rob Brown

The action folded to Rob Brown in the cutoff and he moved all in for 200,000. Josh Bergman called from the big blind turning over {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds} and Brown would need to improve holding {a-Clubs}{3-Clubs}.

The dealer fanned the {9-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} flop and Brown flopped the nut flush. The turn was the {5-Clubs} improving Brown to the nut flush leaving Bergman drawing dead. The meaningless {8-Hearts} completed the board and Brown doubled his stack.

Then the {q-Hearts} hit the turn and the table erupted as Stein turned spiked his two-outer to take the lead. The {5-Hearts} river improved Stein to a full house and he doubled his stack to move over the one-million chip mark.
