Joey Couden
Joey Couden

Joey Couden opened for 16,000 and then just called when Michael Kemeter three-bet to 55,000. Couden, who had just 25,000 back, checked the unknown flop and Kemeter bet 22,000. Couden moved in for 3,000 more and Kemeter called.

Kemeter: {10-}{10-}
Couden: {k-}{k-}

Couden was out in front and held on the turn, but then a {10-} spiked on the river to give Kemeter a set and the knockout.

Kemeter Gets Lucky to Double Through O'Neil

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Michael Kemeter got his stack of 175,000 all in preflop and was in dire straits against Chris O'Neil.

O'Neil: {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Kemeter: {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}

Kemeter needed to get luck and did so when the {4-Spades}{4-Hearts}{9-Clubs} flop gave him a boat. Neither the {k-Spades} turn nor {5-Diamonds} river changed a thing and Kemeter shipped the double.
