VanKeuren KO's Opponent with Flopped Set Over Set

Level 6 : 400/800, 800 ante

The hand was discovered on a flop of {2-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{9-Clubs} with Zachary VanKeuren who had called the all-in bet by his opponent.

The hands were tabled and it was the sickening sight of {4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} held by VanKeuren which dominated the {2-Spades}{2-Hearts} held by his opponent.

Neither the turn {5-Diamonds} nor the river {3-Clubs} changed anything, and VanKeuren secured a near-double up and eliminated his opponent.

Hellmuth Trips up Singh

Level 6 : 400/800, 800 ante

Phil Hellmuth opened to 2,400 on the button and was called by Raj Singh in the small blind.

Both players checked on the {8-Clubs}{a-Clubs}{10-Hearts} flop and then Singh led out for 2,500 on the {7-Diamonds} turn. Hellmuth called.

The {7-Clubs} completed the board and Singh bet 2,200. Hellmuth paused and then raised to 10,000. Singh called after a bit of thought.

"Trips," Hellmuth said as he tabled {7-Hearts}{6-Hearts}. Singh mucked without showing — conceding the pot to Hellmuth.

Tymoshenko and Kislinksii Battle Twice

Level 6 : 400/800, 800 ante

Sergei Kislinskii raised to 1,800 in early position and Artem Tymoshenko called in the small blind.

On the {9-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{3-Hearts} flop, Tymoshenko check-called a bet of 1,200.

On the following hand, Kislinskii raised under the gun to 1,700 and Tymoshenko defended the big blind.

The dealer fanned a flop of {j-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} and Kislinskii check-raised a bet of 4,000 to 11,700. Tymoshenko made the call.

When the {6-Diamonds} hit the turn, Kislinskii checked to Tymoshenko and he fired a bet of 12,000, which was enough to make Kislinskii surrender the pot.
