Franco Adds to His Stack

Level 25 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

Arne Kern opened in middle position to 50,000 and Sonny Franco made the call from the small blind.

The flop fell {j-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{4-Spades} and Franco check-called Kern's continuation-bet worth 40,000.

Both players checked on the {a-Diamonds} turn, as well as on the {2-Clubs} river.

Franco revealed {k-Clubs}{3-Clubs} and it was enough to win the pot without any resistance.

Nahum Doubles Up

Level 25 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

There were about 100,000 chips in the middle and the board read {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} when we got to the table. Kfir Nahum shoved from the big blind for 121,000, Enio Bozzano called from middle position to put him at risk, and the two players tabled their hands.

Kfir Nahum: {J-Clubs}{8-Spades}
Enio Bozzano: {K-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}

Nahum had the lead but Bozzano had lots of room to improve with overs and a gutshot straight draw. The {6-Spades} turn and {6-Clubs} river missed both players and Nahum took the pot to double up.

Narzem Triples

Level 25 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

When we arrived at the table, the {K-Clubs}{J-Spades}{9-Hearts} flop was already out and there was a massive pile of about half a million chips in the middle. Jared Narzem had gotten his entire 167,000-chip stack in preflop from the big blind against Chad Hahn in the small blind and Anthony Profeta in middle position. Hahn checked and Profeta checked behind.

The {4-Spades} fell on the turn and both players checked again.

They checked once more on the {3-Spades} river and Narzem tabled {5-Hearts}{5-Clubs}. Profeta showed {A-}{Q-}, Hahn couldn't beat a pair of fives, and Narzem took the pot to triple up.
