The Spirit of Kabrhel Cannot Save Miholich

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Kyle Miholich jammed for an even 8,000 from under the gun and got one call from Joshua Bobrosky two seats to his left.

Kyle Miholich: K♠Q♠ All in
Joshua Bobrosky: 9♥9♣

"Casino royale!" Miholich proclaimed as he attempted to summon some Martin Kabrhel run-good.

The 10♠7♣2♦ gave Miholich some backdoors but he still needed some help to survive.

"Need to see some paint," Miholich begged as the dealer completed the board with 3♥8♠ and Miholich was left with king-high.

Miholich exclaimed "Not like that!" once the river card was dealt, and he earned some laughs from the room on his way to the rail.

Igor Zektser: Q♣Q♥ All in
Todd Carson: J♠3♥

Above Average Flop for Narducci

Brett Slezak

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Gustavo Narducci from the cutoff and Felipe Olivieri from the big blind had both committed 4,500 preflop to create a bloated pot.

On the K♠4♦4♣ flop, Olivieri checked to Narducci who bet 1,500 and Olivieri put in the call.

The 3♣ turn checked through to the 8♥ river which saw Olivieri block for just 900. Narducci would then put out a raise to 7,000, and Olivieri reluctantly called after a small tank. He got the bad news as Narducci tabled K♥K♣ for a flopped full house to win the pot, prompting an obligatory "That's it?" comment from one of his tablemates.

Player	Chips	Progress
Felipe Olivieri	98,000 5,000	5,000
Gustavo Narducci	68,000 153,900	153,900
