Dennis Kim
Dennis Kim

David Gee raised under the gun and Lee Markholt three-bet in the cutoff. Dennis Kim put in the fourth bet before Gee called and Markholt capped it with a five-bet. Kim called off 5,000 short and Gee called.

The dealer fanned a flop of {k-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} and Gee check-called a bet.

The {6-Diamonds} hit the turn and Gee check-called another bet from Markholt.

The {4-Hearts} landed on the river completing the board and Gee checked to Markholt who fired another bet. Gee paused for a moment before sigh-folding.

Markholt tabled {a-Spades}{k-Spades} for top pair on the flop while Dennis Kim showed {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}. Gee quickly reached into the muck and tabled that he had {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs} as well. Kim was eliminated in 27th place for $3,931.

Hsiung Shoves in the Dark

Level 23 : 20,000/40,000, 0 ante
Kenny Hsiung
Kenny Hsiung

Fred Lavassani raised from early position and Kenny Hsiung called in the big blind.

The flop came {2-Clubs}{a-Spades}{6-Diamonds} and Hsiung check-called a bet. Hsiung checked again on the {8-Hearts} and Lavassani bet.

Hsiung this time raised and Lavassani called after some deliberation. "All in dark," Hsiung said heading to the river as he put his last chips in.

The river fell the {j-Clubs} and Lavassani again called after a brief tank.

"Top set," Hsiung announced, turning over {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}. He still had some chips left over after his river bet since he had more than the limit but secured the virtual double-up.

"Kenny is the best spinner in the game," tablemate Joe McKeehen said after the hand.

Ben Ross, Francisco Garzon, and Michael Coombs saw a flop of {10-Spades}{7-Spades}{8-Hearts}. Coombs bet, Ross raised, and Garzon called.

Coombs got out of the way as Ross and Garzon went heads-up to the {10-Hearts} turn. Ross bet again and Garzon called. Both players checked the {3-Spades} river.

"I have a boat. I was hoping you bet," Ross said, turning over {10-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} for a full house. Garzon said he wouldn't have called a bet on the river.
