Martin Kabrhel just doubled to around 20,000 with {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{3-Hearts} on a {j-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} flop. His opponent held {q-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} for top pair and a flush draw, but Kabrhel's Kings held on a {4-Clubs} turn and an {a-Clubs} river.

Meanwhile Jerome Sgoranno was involved in a three-way all-in on a {j-Spades}{4-Hearts}{k-Spades} flop. Mike Leah and Sgoranno checked to a third player who bet 6,000. Leah called and Sgoranno moved all in. The other two players both called.

Jerome Sgoranno: {k-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}
Mike Leah: {a-Clubs}{j-Spades}{10-Spades}{7-Spades}
Player 3: {a-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{2-Spades}

Leah held a flush draw and a pair of jacks, but the third player in the hand had a better flush draw to go with their pair of jacks. Sgoranno had two pair and improved to a full house on the {k-Hearts} turn and the rvier was the {9-Clubs} and he tripled up.

Zisimopoulos Loading Up

Level 8 : 300/600, 0 ante

The board read {K-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} and Georgios Zisimopoulos had checked as he was first to act. The player in the hijack went all in and he was covered by Zisimopoulos who made the call.

Georgios Zisimopoulos: {A-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}
Hijack: {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}{9-Spades}{9-Hearts}

Zisimopoulos had a flush and a straight draw on the flop. The turn brought them the {10-Hearts} to complete the straight draw but he made his hand even better by hitting the {9-Diamonds} on the river even though it wasn't really needed any more. His opponent was sent to the rail or the cashier to re-enter.

Yin Win Win

Level 8 : 300/600, 0 ante

The {7-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} flop was already on the table and Cheng Wei Yin was on the button having called the all-in shove of his opponent in mid-position.

Cheng Wei Yin: {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{6-Spades}{6-Clubs}
Opponent: {A-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}

Yin had a set of sixes on the flop and his opponent had a flush and several straight draws. The {J-Diamonds} on the turn didn't change much and although the {2-Hearts} on the river did give his opponent a flush, the board had now paired to give Yin a full house and the pot.

Yankov Doubles Through Hallaert

Level 8 : 300/600, 0 ante

The board read {9-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs} with a pot of about 30,000 and Krasimir Yankov was all in and called by Kenny Hallaert who had him covered.

Krasimir Yankov: {Q-Spades}{10-Spades}{9-Clubs}{4-Clubs}
Kenny Hallaert: {A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}

Hallaert had made the call with a flush draw and top pair with ace-kicker, Yankov had two pair, queens and nines. The turn brought them the {5-Spades} and the {J-Clubs} on the river completed the board but didn't bring the flush draw to Hallaert. So the pot was pushed to Yankov so he could stack up his newly acquired chips.

Kabrhel Claws Back

Martin Kabrhel
Martin Kabrhel

The board read {10-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{Q-Hearts} and Martin Kabrhel, after having re-entered earlier after his bustout, bet pot which was 20,400 and the player on the button put a stack of his chips in.

"Is that a call or an all in?" Kabrhel asked. The other player confirmed it was a call.

Martin Kabrhel showed {A-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{3-Spades} for the turned flush and that was sufficient for the other player to muck his hand.
