Genge's Stack Keeps Growing

Level 12 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Greg Genge
Greg Genge

The under-the-gun player raised and the action folded around to Greg Genge who put in a three-bet to 11,000 from the hijack. The players folded quickly back around to the original raiser who called.

On the {k-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} flop, Genge's opponent check-called a bet of 20,000. The turn was the {10-Diamonds} and after the opponent checked Genge hammered a stack of 5,000 chips down. His opponent who had approximately 45,000 gave it some thought before eventually putting his stack into the middle.

Opponent: {a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}
Greg Genge: {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{4-Spades}

Genge had flopped top set and his opponent was looking for diamond for a flush or a queen for a straight but the river was the {10-Clubs}, filling Genge's set into a full house.

Level 10 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Matthew Wantman had the largest stack and had the chance to kill three birds with one stone. He held the {9-Spades}{7-Spades}{6-Clubs}{4-Clubs}.

The turn was a {9-} and the river a {5-} to give Wantman the straight which was the winner as three players left the table without chips and their cards were mucked.
