Lefrancois Four-Bet Shoves

Level 14 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Douglas Watson raised to 20,000 from under the gun and action was on Pablo Mariz on the button. He thought for a moment and three-bet to 52,000.

Pascal Lefrancois' stack has been up-and-down for a while, and he counted it out before shoving from the small blind for about 230,000. Watson and Mariz both folded and Lefrancois now sits on 338,000.

Queens Rule Over Kings

Level 14 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Oren Haziza thought he found a perfect spot to double up, picking up pocket kings and getting it all-in against Francois Billard holding pocket queens.

Haziza: {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}
Billard: {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}

A queen in the door of the {q-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{j-Hearts} board spelled the end for Haziza as Billard was pushed the pot.

Watson Went From Dim to Bright

Level 13 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Douglas Watson was down to just a few big blinds only moments ago and is now sitting on a playable stack.

Watson moved all-in for 62,000 from the hijack and was called by Pablo Mariz in the small blind.

Douglas Watson: {q-Hearts}{2-Hearts}
Pablo Mariz: {a-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}

The flop came {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} and Watson made trip queens to take a commanding lead. The turn was the {10-Diamonds} and he locked up the pot right there. The dealer completed the board with the insignificant {j-Clubs} on the river and Watson scooped up the pot.
