Ko Smacks the River For Another Bounty

David Salituro

Level 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Bruce Far limped in from early position and David Dongwoo Ko raised to 30,000 on the button. Far called and the flop came J♠6♥5♦.

Far then pushed all in for 150,000 and Ko snap-called.

Bruce Far: J♥8♥ All in
David Dongwoo Ko: 7♠6♠

Far was ahead with top pair against Ko's sixes as the 8♦ turn gave Far two pair. The river, though, was the 6♦ and Ko improved to trips to send Far to the rail.

"As soon as he won the pot he looked over at him and said GG," tablemate Cory Skolnik said after the hand.

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Chanelle Morimatsu raised to 24,000 in early position and Tao Qin three-bet to 75,000 in middle position. Morimatsu called and they went heads-up to the A♥4♣3♣ flop.

Morimatsu then moved all in for 110,000 and Qin snap-called.

Chanelle Morimatsu: A♣7♣ All in
Tao Qin: A♦K♦

Both players showed a pair of aces, but Qin was in the lead with his king-kicker while Morimatsu had the nut flush draw. The 10♣ fell on the turn to give Morimatsu a flush, while the 2♠ river secured her double up.

Player	Chips	Progress
Chanelle Morimatsu	370,000 114,000	114,000
Tao Qin	100,000 -60,000	-60,000
