Howie Kahan Chips Up with Set

Level 11 : 1,200/2,400, 0 ante

Jason Seguin raised in early position, Norman Nesby Jr. called in middle position, Howie Kahan called on the button, and the big blind came along.

These four players saw a flop of {A-Hearts}{K-Spades}{8-Diamonds} and the big blind checked. Seguin bet, and all three of his opponents called.

On the {Q-Hearts} turn, the big blind checked, Seguin checked, Nesby bet, Kahan called, the big blind folded, and Seguin called.

It was three ways to the {4-Hearts} river and it checked to Kahan, who bet. Seguin folded and Nesby called.

Kahan showed {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts} for a set, and that was enough to win the pot.

Michel Halioua Doubles Through Johanssy Joseph

Level 12 : 1,500/3,000, 0 ante

With the board reading {J-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} {7-Clubs} and around 30,000 in the pot, Johanssy Joseph was in the big blind and Michel Halioua was under the gun. Joseph had Halioua covered and they got the rest of the chips in.

Joseph was well in the lead with pocket queens against Halioua's {K-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}, but the {J-Clubs} came on the river to give Halioua jacks full of sevens for the double-up. Joseph was left with just 7,000 after that hand.
