Kruk is in Pain

Level 3 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

The board read {q-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{j-Spades} with around 62,500 in the middle.

Isaac Haxton had checked in the big blind and so did Christopher Kruk on the button.

The river completed the board with the {k-Hearts}, Haxton tanked, using a time bank card and then opted to check. Kruk reluctantly checked too and then mucked with an audible groan as Haxton tabled {9-Hearts}{9-Spades} which incited laughter from the rest of the table.

Over on one of the other tables, Talal Shakerchi was eliminated.

Hecklen Folds to Kruk's Shove

Level 2 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

The board read {k-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{q-Spades}{a-Hearts} with just over 60,000 in the middle already.

Christopher Kruk bet 20,000 and Henrik Hecklen called from mid-position.

The {a-Diamonds} on the river completed the board to pair it up with the turn and now Kruk decided to shove. Hecklen asked for a count and Kruk confirmed it was 53,500 in total. Hecklen had fewer chips, took a bit of time to consider his options but then opted to fold.
