Knapp Grabs a Double Up

Chris Bean

Level 5 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

With 9,700 in the middle at the turn with the board reading 10♠7♦2♦3♠, Anastasia Knapp bet 4,000 from the big blind and was called by the hijack.

The Q♣ completed the board and Knapp moved all in for 8,500, just as a friend was passing by and asked them to hold up and wait. The hijack called quickly and Knapp tabled 10♥7♥ for the flopped two pair. The hijack flashed K♦K♣ and said "I nearly folded after that speech!"

The very next hand Knapp picked up another pot and is now double the starting stack.

Chen Out-Pips Opponent

Chris Bean

Level 5 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Guo Liang Chen bet 1,100 from the cutoff and was raised by the small blind for 3,000. Vanessa Kade in the big blind made the call, as did Chen.

The flop came Q♣5♦2♥ and the small blind bet 2,000. Kade made the call but Chen raised it to 6,500 which got a call from the small blind and Kade folded.

Both players checked to showdown after the A♠9♥ completed the board and Chen tabled K♥Q♥ whose pair of queens and king kicker beat the small blind's Q♦J♦ pair of queens with jack kicker.

Himmelspach Adds to his Stack

Gaelle Jaudon

Level 5 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

A player in middle position started the action with a raise to 1,200 and it was called by Julien Sitbon and Chad Himmelspach in the blinds.

The flop revealed 9♠8♠7♠ and it checked to the initial raiser who continued for 1,500. Sitbon called and Himmelspach raised it to 5,500. Only the middle position called to stay in the pot.

The turn was the 7♦ and Himmelspach bet 4,000. It was enough to win the pot without more resistance.

Kwatra Sank Seat Six

Chris Bean

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Anuj Kwatra bet 1,500 from under the gun and was called by Samantha Gruber in the cutoff. The small blind moved all in and was under-called by Kwatra for 19,000, while Gruber got out of the way.

Anuj Kwatra: A♦K♦
Small Blind: 10♣10♦

A classic flip that was won by Kwatra after the ace on the turn on the board of 7♣6♦5♥A♥2♥ gave him top pair to complete the double up.

Robertson Busts One

Gaelle Jaudon

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Cory Robertson opened to 1,500 and a player three-bet to 4,100 before the cutoff decided to shove for 19,200. It came back to Robertson who reshoved for 23,500 and the third player got out of the way:

Cutoff: A♦Q♣
Cory Robertson: A♣K♦

Roberston had then dominating hand and held throughout the board J♥6♠9♥7♣7♥ to bust his opponent and scoop the pot.
