Brown Bests Goldkind

Level 4 : 300/500, 500 ante

Clifford Goldkind, under the gun, was heads-up against big blind opponent Rory Brown on a {4-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{a-Hearts} board. It took awhile for both players to check through the turn, and the river brought the {k-Diamonds}.

The final betting round was a more brisk affair, as both players checked through again, and Brown showed {a-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} to take down the pot.

Overbet Gets It Done for Kabrhel

Level 4 : 300/500, 500 ante

On a board reading {3-Spades}{9-Spades}{q-Clubs}{4-Spades}{4-Hearts} a rather innocuous looking pot of around 15,000 was in the middle. The first player to act checked after a few moments over to Martin Kabrhel who blasted off by tossing several orange chips into the middle which was counted out to be a bet of 45,000.

His opponent gave a bemused smile at the size of the bet and thought it over. After a while he called and Kabrhel quickly turned over the {9-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} for a 'boat, small boat but a boat' as he put it. His opponent could only muck as Kabrhel added another decent chunk to his stack.

Andriamahefa Makes a Flush

Level 4 : 300/500, 500 ante

Kevin Andriamahefa was recently seen as a new arrival to the Amazon Orange section and was in the process of taking down a pot, having his winning hand of {k-Spades}{q-Spades} still tabled on a board of {2-Clubs}{6-Spades}{3-Hearts}{2-Spades}{x-Spades}, thus having made a flush. Despite the victory, Andriamahefa has around half of a starting stack in front of him, though that is still 60 big blinds at present moment.

Sobel Puts His Table on Notice

Level 4 : 300/500, 500 ante

Steve Sobel, from the big blind, faced a 12,700 bet from an opponent on the button, with a {k-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{9-Clubs} flop showing. Sobel went all in over the top for his last 37,700, and his opponent started squirming.

"I have a king," the button player said, lamenting that he couldn't call. He eventually folded and asked Sobel to show a card.

Sobel obliged, turning over the {10-Clubs}, much to the amazement of his fellow players. "Just to put you guys on notice," Sobel said.
