Yannick Capocetti
Yannick Capocetti

Yannick Capocetti opened to 80,000 from early position, and action folded to Angela Jordison in middle position, who three-bet all in for 320,000. Action came back around to Capocetti who snap-called.

Angela Jordison: AQ All in
Yannick Capocetti: AK

No help for Jordison on the J2J flop, but when the dealer peeled off the Q on the turn she stormed into the lead. That didn't last too long though, as the poker Gods decided to offer up the K as the river to give Capocetti his higher pair and send Jordison to the rail.

Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Robert Kuhn
Robert Kuhn

Heads up to the flop of 64Q with 250,000 in the pot. Lee Chau check-raised Robert Kuhn's 50.000 bet to 350,000, and Kuhn made the call.

The players checked down the 2 turn to see the 7 roll off on the river.

Chau went into the tank, before he cut out a bet of 675,000, and pushed it across the betting line. Kuhn then went deep into the tank and asked Chau, 'Did the river help you that much?'

The answer wasn't satisfactory for Kuhn and he tossed in the call and tabled K6 for third pair which was good against Chau's A9 bluff.
