Semanko Wins One, Semanko Loses One

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

On the flop {j-Spades}{k-Spades}{4-Spades}, Bartholomew Semanko bet 13,000, and Jordan Garcia called.

The turn was the {10-Clubs} and Semanko sized up to 24,000. Garcia went deep into the tank, checking his hole cards, counting out his stack, and sitting back in his chair for two minutes. Garcia finally folded to preserve his remaining 54,000.

On the next hand, a player from early position raised to 8,000, and he was called by Semanko on the button and Richard Book from the small blind.

The flop came {5-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{4-Spades} and the action checked to Semanko, who bet 8,000. Book then moved all-in for 31,000, the original raiser folded and Semanko called.

Richard Book: {k-Spades}{j-Diamonds}
Bartholomew Semanko: {k-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

Book held the better kicker and held through the turn {a-Spades} and river {7-Diamonds}. Book doubled up and Semanko took a small hit to his stack.
