Quadruple up for Gesink

Level 7 : 400/800, 800 ante

The player under the gun raised to 2,200 and Chris Gesink shoved for 9,900. The player on his left called, the small blind called and the original raiser called.

On the {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} flop, the small blind and under-the-gun player checked before the player last to act shoved his stack. The small blind snap-called off his stack of roughly 20,000 and the under-the-gun player folded.

Chris Gesink: {7-Clubs}{7-Spades}
Small Blind: {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}
Shoving Player: {a-Spades}{q-Spades}

Both Gesink's opponents flopped top two pair and the board ran out {9-Clubs} on the turn and {7-Hearts} on the river for Gesink to make a set to quadruple up.

Kassela Takes One Down With Two Barrels

Level 7 : 400/800, 800 ante

A player raised to 2,400 from middle position and was called by the player in the hijack and Frank Kassela on the button.

Action checked to Kassela on the {9-Spades}{j-Hearts}{k-Clubs} flop and he bet 2,000. Both his opponents called.

Kassela was checked to again on the {7-Hearts} turn and he fired again — this time for 5,000, which was enough to fold out his opponents and scoop the pot.

Level 7 : 400/800, 800 ante

Early Position: {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}
