Kings Cracked By Kings

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

The PokerNews Live Reporting team was told of the following hand that recently occurred in the Amazon Room.

The player under the gun raised to 400, a player in middle position called, and Dinu Stefaroi made it 1,600 from the button. Action folded around to the original raiser, and he moved all in. The middle-position player folded, and Stefaroi called.

Stefaroi: {K-Spades}{K-Hearts}
Opponent: {K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}

Both players held pocket kings, but the board ran out {9-Spades}{6-Spades}{5-Spades}{10-Spades}{Q-Spades} to give Stefaroi the winning flush.

David Williams Slips Big

Level 3 : 75/150, 25 ante

A player in early position raised to 275, and David Williams three-bet to 1,075 from the button. The early-position player called, and the two players saw a flop of {K-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{7-Clubs}. The preflop raiser checked, Williams bet 1,125, and his opponent called.

The turn brought the {4-Diamonds}, and Williams' opponent checked. Williams bet 2,000, leaving himself with only about 3,000 chips behind, his opponent moved all in, and Williams quickly called.

Williams: {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}
Opponent: {7-Spades}{7-Hearts}

Williams held top pair, top kicker but was in terrible shape against his opponent's set of sevens. The {2-Spades} river changed nothing, and Williams lost the pot, leaving him with just 100 chips.

A player in early position raised to 350, Andreas Klatt called from the hijack, the small blind called, and Luke Sorensen called from the big blind.

The flop came {9-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{4-Hearts}, and action checked around to Klatt. He bet 600, the small blind folded, Sorensen called, and the preflop raiser folded. The turn brought the {7-Spades}, and Sorensen checked. Klatt bet 1,900, and Sorensen check-raised to 4,000. Klatt called. The {4-Clubs} fell on the river, and Sorensen moved all in for about 6,000.

Klatt quickly called and tabled {6-Spades}{6-Hearts} for sixes full of fours, which was best against Sorensen's {5-Spades}{3-Diamonds} for a seven-high straight. Klatt took the pot to send Sorensen to the rail.

Fabrice Soulier Bets and Wins

Level 3 : 75/150, 25 ante

Fabrice Soulier raised to 350 from early position, the player in the cutoff called, and the button called, as well.

The flop came {A-Clubs}{K-Spades}{8-Clubs}, and Soulier bet 425. The cutoff quickly folded, and the big blind peeked back at his hole cards and considered his decision.

"Either you fold or you make it, like, 2,000," said Soulier. His opponent tossed his cards into the muck a few moments later.

Sofia Lovgren Starts Strong, Slips Small

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

Sofia Lovgren raised to 150 from the hijack, the player in the cutoff called, and the big blind came along, as well.

The flop came {A-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{4-Hearts}, and the big blind check-called a bet of 350 from Lovgren. The turn brought the {8-Diamonds}, and both players checked. The {9-Spades} fell on the river, and they both checked again.

The big blind tabled {Q-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} for a pair of queens. Lovgren mucked, but she's already increased her stack by a fair margin since the beginning of play.
