Hartmann Can't Escape Kings vs. Aces

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Pascal Hartmann opened the action in early position and the big blind defended. The flop was {9-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{9-Clubs} and Hartmann bet 600. The big blind check-raised to 1,400 and Hartmann called. Both players checked the {4-Clubs} on the turn.

On the {10-Spades} river, the big blind slid enough T$1,000 chips forward to put Hartmann to the test for his last 4,000. He made the call for his tournament life after 20 seconds.

Big blind: {A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}
Hartmann: {K-}{K-}

Hartmann was coolered and quickly headed out of the tournament area.

"Get it in preflop, guys, come on! It took until the river to get 15 big blinds in!" one of Hartmann's tablemates said with a smile.

David Pham

With around 7,500 in the pot and the board reading {3-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}, action was on David Pham in the small blind. He committed his last 3,500 to the pot and got snap-called by Daniel Murphy.

Pham: {A-Spades}{8-Spades}
Murphy: {A-Clubs}{6-Clubs}

Murphy had turned two pairs, which left the three-time bracelet winner drawing to one of the remaining eights. The river was the {10-Clubs} and "The Dragon" headed for the rail.
