Daniel Vampan: {k-Spades}{j-Diamonds}
Phil Kessel: {j-Clubs}{9-Clubs}

The board ran out {q-Spades}{j-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} and Vampan's king kicker would play to send the NLH superstar to the rail.

Serebryany Appeals to the Poker Gods

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Larry Serebryany just moved all in for 32,000 under the gun and found a caller to his immediate left. Once everyone else had moved aside, the two players turned over their holdings.

Larry Serebryany: {4-Spades}{4-Hearts}
Opponent: {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}

On seeing how big a dog he was, Serebryany looked up and appealed to the Poker Gods, promising to do 100 push-ups if he could find a four on the board.

Someone must have been listening as the flop brought out {4-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}, giving Serebryany quads and the hand was all but his. By the {2-Clubs} turn, it was locked up and the {6-Spades} river was irrelevant.

Serebryany hasn't done the 100 push-ups yet but he promises he will. Pokernews will be sure to keep you updated on when that happens.

Klatt Doubles His Stack

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

A player in late position raised to 7,000 and Andreas Klatt moved all-in from the small blind for 56,000. It folded back to the player who called turning over {7-Clubs}{7-Hearts} but Klatt did one better showing {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades}.

The board ran out clean for Klatt {a-Spades}{q-Spades}{q-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{3-Spades} and his pocket eights held up to earn him the double-up.
