Kasper Doubles Up With Ochos

Joseph Berg

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Henri Kasper was all in and at risk from under the gun for 32,500. Action folded around to Dean Baranowski in the big blind, who took a couple of minutes to ponder his options before deciding to call.

Henri Kasper: 8♠8♦ All in
Dean Baranowski: A♦7♥

The dealer provided Baranowski with no assistance on a 2♠9♥10♥10♦3♥ runout, and Kasper got a full double up and will be hoping to capitalize on this positive momentum.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Michael Collins was in the small blind and covered Penh Lo who was in the big blind and already all in for his remaining 36,500 stack.

Penh Lo: K♠Q♥ All in
Michael Collins: A♣K♣

Collins was ahead on both the 5♦6♥5♠ flop, and the 3♦ turn but Lo stole the pot on the Q♦ river, which saved him from elimination.

Players shared some table talk right after the hand when the chips were being collected, with Lo saying "Woohoo, that's right back up to what I started the day with. I am exactly where I was".

In the hand straight after, the pair went head-to-head again, with Collins raising the button and Lo jamming. Collins gave this one up and Lo chipped off some more of Collins stack.

Michael Collins	138,000 4,000	4,000
Penh Lo	75,000 6,500	6,500
