Wham Bam, Out Goes Dam

Tim Baker

Level 8 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

On the K♠9♠9♣ flop, Martin Dam got his remaining 83,000 into the middle fro the big blind, with Sam Soverel making to call to try and bust him from early position.

Martin Dam: J♦5♦4♠3♠ All in
Sam Soverel: A♣Q♠J♠J♣

Dam was in a lot of trouble against Soverel's pair of jacks and higher flush draw. The 3♥ turn and 7♠ river wasn't the runout Dam was looking for, and all of his chips headed over to Soverel.

Level 7 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

On a board of 6♣5♦A♥9♣, Jason Koon checked from the big blind, and [Removed:548] checked from under the gun. Jonas Kronwitter bet 75,000 from early position with only Koon making the call.

The 7♦ rolled off on the river and Koon checked. Kronwitter bet 250,000, which was enough to get Koon to lay his hand down.
