Kim Triples in Three-Way Runout

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Brian Kim
Brian Kim

Brian Kim and Alex Kulev were all in, Kim with the least, and Diego Zeiter was there to put both players at risk with the biggest stack. The cards were on their backs and the dealer was ready to go.

Brian Kim: {a-Spades}{j-Clubs}
Alex Kulev: {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}
Diego Zeiter: {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}

The board ran out {j-Spades}{8-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{2-Clubs} and Kim flopped a pair of jacks to beat both players and triple his stack of 32,000. Zeiter counted out 46,200 to pay Kulev's side pot.

Najchaus Quiets Kassouf

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Alexane Najchaus
Alexane Najchaus

Action was heads up with over 20,000 in the middle and {3-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{a-Spades}{10-Spades} on the board when William Kassouf bet 12,500. Alexane Najchause went into the tank to consider her options, and Kassouf's voice was not far behind.

Kassouf went into his line of questioning. The usual "do-you-have" and a string of accusations relating to which card improved her hand. The clock was finally called, but it was a mere formality when Najchaus put out the chips to call.

"Nice hand, you win," Kassouf said, not yet turning over his cards.

He finally showed {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} and Najchaus turned over {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs} to take the pot with a pair of nines.
