Lunkin Cracks Kings to Bust Eames

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 0 ante

We arrived at the table to find John Eames all in before the flop against Vitaly Lunkin. Eames was looking good holding {K-Clubs}{K-Spades} over Lunkin's {J-Diamonds}{J-Spades}.

Eames fell quickly behind, however, as the the flop gave Lunkin three jacks with {Q-Spades}{J-Clubs}{A-Clubs}. The {8-Hearts} rolled off on the turn and the {7-Diamonds} finished off the board, ensuring that Eames would be forced to the rail. He made a quick exit from the tournament area and Lunkin stacked his new chips. His stack now sits around 110,000.

On the other side of the room, a short-stacked Benjamin Volpe was eliminated from play in unknown action.

Benjamin Volpe Doubles Back

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 0 ante

Jason Somerville opened to 5,000 from under the gun and action folded to recently crippled Benjamin Volpe.

"Pot!" Volpe loudly proclaimed as moved all in for his last 11,000. Dario Minieri tanked from the next seat over before making a raise to 21,000 and the rest of the table including Somerville folded.

Minieri: {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades}
Volpe: {A-Spades}{10-Spades}

Volpe found no help on the {4-Hearts}{K-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} flop but the {9-Hearts} on the turn gave him additional outs to win.

"King!" said Volpe.

Ask and you shall receive. The dealer burned the final card and tabled the {K-Diamonds}, putting two pair higher than eights on the board and allowing for Volpe's ace-high to finish as the best hand. He was able to score a double and is now sitting on about 29,000.

Vandersmissen: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}
Volpe: {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}

Volpe held a monster draw, but the turn and river bricked off {j-Clubs}, {k-Hearts} respectively. Vandersmissen doubled to 123,000 chips, while Volpe only has 9,600.
