Runner-Runner Hurts Wolf

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

Three players took a flop of {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}{3-Hearts}, including Laurence Wolf who is fresh off of a win in the Borgata Summer Poker Open and a runner-up finish in the Borgata Spring Poker Open Championship.

All three players checked, and the turn was the {7-Hearts}. Wolf checked, one opponent bet 600, and both players called.

The river was a second seven - the {7-Diamonds} - and Wolf checked again. The player who bet on the turn tossed out another 2,800, the man in the middle folded, and Wolf quickly called. The player turned over {q-Hearts}{9-Hearts} for nines full of sevens, and Wolf showed a lesser full house; {7-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}.

One for Kravchenko

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

Back in the 2007 World Series of Poker Main Event, Alex Kravchenko finished fourth for $1,852,721. Since then the Russian has enjoyed a fruitful poker career, but he's back today looking for even more Main Event success.

In a recent hand, Alex Kravchenko opened for 450 and Scott Abrams called from the cutoff. The big blind came along for the ride and three players saw a flop of {5-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{j-Clubs}, which they all checked. The action would repeat itself on both the {9-Diamonds} turn and {K-Spades} river, prompting Kravchenko to tabled the {8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} for two pair. It was good as both Abrams and the big blind mucked.

Not much of a hand, but it gave us a good excuse to update you on his chip count.

Lam Doubles with Short Stack

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

When we last checked on Tuan Lam, he had a nice early stack, but things must have gone downhill in a hurry since he was down to his last 4,500 and all in on a flop of {9-Spades}{q-Spades}{3-Hearts}. A player had bet 900, and the small blind, who had checked, put in a call. The bettor folded, and Lam tabled {q-Clubs}{4-Clubs} for top pair. The small blind had just second pair with {k-Hearts}{9-Hearts}, but he picked up a straight draw on the {j-Spades} turn. Another jack, the {j-Clubs}, meant Lam doubled up, though.

Kitai's Final Countdown

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

The board showed {7-Clubs}{2-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{5-Diamonds} when we noticed Davidi Kitai was trying to make up his mind about calling a 6,000-chip bet.

There was exactly 11,300 already in the pot and minutes went by while Kitai played with his chips, repositioned himself on his chair five times, and talked a bit to himself.

"I can sit here for six more hours like this," Kitai sighed before calling the clock on himself.

"Haha, that's so funny, 30 more seconds and I would've called it on you," Daniel Negreanu said.

A member of the floor staff was called over and in the final seconds of Kitai's minute he tossed in the call.

Kitai's opponent showed {J-Spades}{J-Clubs} and the Belgian bracelet winner tabled {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts} to take down this pot.

"So much drama, calling in the final seconds!" Negreanu laughed, before adding that he thought it was a good call.

Kitai exhaled deeply and he's now back up over the starting stack.

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

Picking up the action after the turn of a {7-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{3-Clubs}{4-Spades} board with roughly 16,000 in the pot, Alex Outhred check-called 7,500 from an opponent to see the {9-Diamonds} river, which both players checked.

Outhred tabled {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}, his opponent mucked and Outhred collected the pot.

Ladies Chop For Hennigan

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

An early positioned player opened to 400 and found a call from John Hennigan in middle position. The cutoff three-bet to 1,225, prompting calls from both the original opener and Hennigan.

The flop came down {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} and action checked back to the cutoff. He made it 2,075 to go, the original opener folded, and Hennigan called.

The {A-Clubs} dropped down on the turn and both players checked, allowing the {5-Hearts} to finish the board. Two more checks occurred and Hennigan rolled over {Q-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}. His opponent showed {Q-Spades}{Q-Diamonds} for the same hand, prompting the two to chop up the pot. Hennigan is now sitting on about 20,500.
