Tom Koral: {x-}{x-} / {5-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{5-Spades} / {x-}

Daham Wang completed and Tom Koral raised. Scott Bohlman called and Wang folded.

Bohlman check-called on fourth street, before Koral took over the betting lead and bet on fifth street. The pair got their stacks in on sixth street with Koral showing buried aces {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds} for a full house and Bohlman {k-Hearts}{j-Hearts} for trip kings.

Bohlman needed to pair, but drew a {7-Spades} on seventh street, and Koral found a {q-Spades} for Koral to earn the full double-up.

Level: 24

Bring In 7,000 - Completion 25,000

Andrew Kelsall was holding the {A-Spades} and he raised over the completion from Scott Bohlman holding the {5-Clubs}. Mike Watson then made it three bets with the {4-Spades}. Bohlman folded quickly while Kelsall put in the 86,000 total to put Watson all in. Watson called. Here's how their board ran out:

Mike Watson: {2-Diamonds}{6-Spades}/{4-Spades}{2-Spades}{9-Clubs}{10-Clubs}/{4-Diamonds}
Andrew Kelsall: {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}/{A-Spades}{10-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{9-Spades}/{9-Hearts}

On seventh, Kelsall paired his nine, giving him two pair. That left Watson looking for a two to stay alive, but his seventh was a {4-Diamonds}. It only gave him a worse two pair and left him heading to rail.

For his run in this event, Watson will collect $22,365.

Tom Koral: {x-}{x-}/{A-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{2-Hearts}/{x-}

Michael and Koral checked all the way down to seventh street where Koral showed {2-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}. Michael picked up his cards looking like he couldn't beat the pair.

"OK, so I need to beat deuces?" Watson asked. He sweated his last card and revealed the {K-Diamonds} as well as his {5-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}, making him a pair on the river to chip up.

Koral Rivers a Flush to Double Through Watson

Level 23 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Tom Koral
Tom Koral

We got to the table on sixth street with both players about to sweat their final cards.

Tom Koral: {5-Hearts}{10-Hearts} / {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{6-Hearts}{8-Hearts}
Mike Watson: {7-Clubs}{8-Spades} / {6-Spades}{9-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{5-Clubs}

"You want to know if you can have all of them?" Watson asked Koral, referring to a fourth ten, which could potentially have improved Koral to quads. Koral nodded and Watson showed a {9-Diamonds} and failed to improve on his nine-high straight.

Koral flipped over the {4-Hearts} to complete his flush and scooped the pot to double up and leave Watson short.
