Mann Doubles Up with Kings over Queens

Level 20 : 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

After a raise from early position to 50,000, action folded around to Howard Mann. Mann thought for a moment before moving all his chips into the middle of the pot. The original aggressor made the call quickly with Mann covered.

Opponent: {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}
Howard Mann: {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}

The board would offer no help to Mann's opponent, as the runout came {2-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{a-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{2-Spades}, ensuring that Mann's kings were still good. He scooped the pot and doubled his stack.

Spano Rivers a Flush to Double Up

Level 20 : 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Action was picked up on the {9-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{j-Spades} flop with around 170,000 in the pot.

Kirk Spano led out with a jam for 290,000 from the cutoff. His opponent, the big blind, made the call with Spano covered.

Kirk Spano: {8-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}
Big blind: {k-Spades}{j-Hearts}

The big blind was ahead with top pair, but Spano had plenty of outs with his open ended straight draw and flush draw. The {10-Hearts} turn saw him pick up more outs as he paired his 10. Any seven, eight, ten, or diamond would give Spano the better hand.

"C'mon baby half way there," he said, pleading with the dealer and the poker gods for a good river. His wish was granted as the {j-Diamonds} river hit the board, completing the flush for Spano, who scooped the pot to double up.

Gabarre Wins A Big Race

Level 20 : 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

After a raise to 45,000, Stephane Gabarre announced all in for 330,000. Just after him, James Traber moved all in also, for approximately the same stack. Everybody folded and the cards of these two players were revealed.

Stephane Gabarre: {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
James Traber: {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}

It was a classic race for the French journalist who sweated on a {2-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} flop, giving a straight draw to Traber, but the turn {9-Clubs} and the river {10-Hearts} were safe for him.

While Gabarre is now closing in on a seven-figure stack, Traber is down to almost nothing.

Even when WSOP champion Kathy Liebert isn't getting callers, she's running like the sun here on Day 2.

After turning 80,000 into over 1,000,000 in one level, she bet 55,000 from the hijack following an early position limp.

Everyone, including the limper, folded to Liebert, who showed us {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds} before putting them face up on the table.
