Use the Fours

Kristaps Krapans just doubled up an opponent with {9-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{A-Diamonds} versus {4-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{A-Clubs}{4-Clubs} on an {8-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{6-Spades}, a paltry pocket fours enough to take down an 11,500 pot.

A hand or two later and Krapans was all in himself, this time with an additional opponent to contend with.

All in on a {2-Spades}{3-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} flop...

Krapans = {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{A-Hearts}
John Duthie's = {5-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}
Melanie Niederreuther's {A-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs}

Turn = {3-Clubs}
River = {8-Diamonds}

Krapans rivered boat awards him the pot, leaving Duthie with 8,000, and Niederreuther the door.

Duff Hand for Duthie

John Duthie is down to just 1,600 -- he was last spotted betting 3,000 with two tens on the flop, but then folding to a raise, leaving himself just a sad pile of black 100 chips.

"I've got no outs!" he laughed.

Are We Still Going to Get Paid?

The Man With The Power
The Man With The Power
To the slightly surreal strains of a poker player butchering Chopsticks on the piano out in the lobby, Pokernews CFO Tony Bromham, the Man Who Pays The Bills, has suffered a bit of a disaster.

Complaining just before the break that he'd been seeing a lot of deuces and threes and not much else, he must have been delighted to finally find a hand. With Nicholas Van Der Marel and Carlo Graziano both limping in ahead of him, he raised the pot and then called Van Der Marel's all-in push for a total of 4,300 (Graziano wisely got out of their way).

Bromham: {K-Hearts} {K-Spades} {10-Spades} {Q-Clubs}
Van Der Marel: {9-Clubs} {9-Spades} {J-Diamonds} {A-Spades}

Board: {8-Clubs} {9-Hearts} {Q-Spades} {7-Spades} {10-Hearts}

Van Der Marel's set of nines blew Bromham's kings out of the proverbial water, and he was down to just 2,300.

Bromham raised pot from the cutoff the next hand and got called in two spots; he moved all in for his last 500 on the {9-Clubs} {Q-Clubs} {4-Clubs} turn and got one caller in the shape of, again, Nicholas Van Der Marel.

Bromham: {K-Spades} {K-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} {6-Clubs}
Van Der Marel: {8-Spades} {9-Diamonds} {5-Hearts} {7-Spades}

Turn: {6-Diamonds}

River: {A-Diamonds}

Bromham lives to fight another day, and the Pokernews paychecks remain safe... For now.

Three Way All-In; Sarink Sinks

I joined the action with a {6-Spades}{7-Clubs}{J-Clubs} flop waiting patiently in the middle and around 1,800 already in the pot. Charly Le Guillou kicked off proceedings with a bet of 300 from the small blind. One player flat-called, but Jurriaan Sarink was less hospitable, making it 3,000 to play. At this point, bedlam ensued, with Peter Overdijk (button) and Le Guillou both moving all in and, after Sarink had made the call, we had ourselves a three-way showdown.

Sarink = {K-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{5-Spades}{7-Spades}
Le Guillou = {3-Spades}{4-Spades}{10-Clubs}{A-Clubs}
Overdijk = {J-Spades}{7-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}

Turn = {Q-Spades}
River = {K-Diamonds}

Seeing as Le Guillou was the shortest stack, he trebled through by taking the main pot with a Broadway straight, whilst Overdijk's flopped set of jacks bettered Sarink's two pair to snap up the pot and eliminate him from the comp.

Le Guillou -- 12,300
Overdijk -- 17,000
