Kola Goes Flat

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Jasen Currie limped in from early position, as did Freeman Kauffman in middle position. Rajasekhar Kola jammed for 90,000 from the button, and only Kauffman called.

Freeman Kauffman: {q-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}
Rajasekhar Kola: {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}

Kauffman ended up with a full house on a {k-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} runout to eliminate Kola.

Koenemann Goes For the Bluff

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Benjamin Hood
Benjamin Hood

Benjamin Hood bet 30,000 into a pot of 100,000 from the big blind on a {6-Hearts}{3-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} board, and Ron Koenemann jammed to put Hood at risk for his last 230,000.

Hood tanked for two minutes, studying the board, before softly announcing a call.

"Nothin'," Koenemann said, showing {a-Diamonds}{q-Spades}. Hood tabled {10-Spades}{5-Clubs} for tens-up, and secured the hefty double.

Bob Watters

(As told to PokerNews by RGPS VP of Media Hayley Hochstetler)

After a raise to 20,000 from a player in middle position, Grant Hinkle three-bet shoved for 90,000 in the cutoff, and Bob Watters four-bet shoved for more in the small blind, chasing the rest of the field out.

Grant Hinkle: {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}
Bob Watters: {a-Spades}{a-}

Hinkle picked up four outs on the {k-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} flop, but bricked the {10-Hearts} turn. Watters couldn't fade the {q-Clubs} river, however, and Hinkle doubled up with Broadway.

Rajasekhar Kola: {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}
Kelly Vande Mheen: {k-Hearts}{q-Spades}

Kola looked destined to join the growing line at the payout desk, but a {8-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{6-Hearts}{6-Spades} runout left him with queens-up and the double.
