Dan Heimiller Doubles Up Again

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

The player in the hijack raised to 7,500 and Dan Heimiller called from the big blind.

The flop came {2-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} and Heimiller check-called the 15,000 bet of his opponent.

On the turn, the {10-Spades} came. Heimiller checked and his opponent asked how much he still had. Heimiller showed his stack and his opponent put him all in. Heimiller called for the 62,000 he had in total.

Heimiller showed {J-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for trip tens and his opponent showed {K-Spades}{K-Clubs} for two pairs, kings and tens.

The {2-Diamonds} on the river completed the board and Heimiller doubled up again.

Franco Cupello Playing Safe

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Action folded around to Franco Cupello in the small blind who opened to 8,000. Titan Nguyen, in the big blind, made the excess.

The dealer swiped {2-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{2-Spades} on the table. Cupello checked. Nguyen bet 16,000. Cupello check-called.

The turn was the {8-Hearts} and was checked through the {9-Diamonds} river. Once again, both players checked.

Franco Cupello tabled {10-Spades}{10-Hearts} and Nguyen sent his hand to the muck.

Mark Kroon Chops a Pot

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
Mark Kroon
Mark Kroon

We got to the table to see the player in the under-the-gun position all in and Mark Kroon having to make a decision on the {5-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{8-Hearts} board.

Kroon took his time to think. "It doesn't make sense, you're either bluffing, have a full house, or a seven."

In the end, Kroon called and his opponent showed {A-Spades}{3-Spades}. Kroon showed {A-Clubs}{6-Clubs} so they both had aces and sevens with the eight on the board as the kicker. They chopped the pot.
