8888PRO Doubles with Kings

Level 7 : 500/1,000, 125 ante

8888PRO was in the button and called VinceDiKoins' open to 2,200 chips from the cutoff, as did gurdien from the small blind.

The flop brought {k-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{3-Spades} and VinceDiKoins continued for 2,879 which both his opponents called.

The {10-Clubs} came on the turn and it was checked to 8888PRO who bet 5,000, seeing gurdien shoving with 38,849 chips. VinceDiKoins got out of the way and 8888PRO snap-called with 18,857 left in his stack.

gurdien: {7-Clubs}{3-Clubs}
8888PRO: {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}

The {7-Diamonds} on the river gave a two-pair to gurdien but it wasn't enough to beat 8888PRO's set of kings.

Jack-High Enough for gurdien

Level 6 : 400/800, 100 ante

The action opened from dan.obreja with a limp from early position and gurdien followed from the cutoff, along with Slapnutz123 and bolodocaco in the small and big blind, respectively.

The flop came {a-Spades}{6-Spades}{5-Clubs} and dan.obreja bet 1,600 when the blinds checked, with gurdien and Slapnutz123 calling, before bolodocaco popped it up to 6,400.

Only gurdien called and the {q-Diamonds} came on the turn, with bolodocaco betting 18,066 to cover gurdien's stack, who called quickly.

gurdien: {j-Spades}{9-Spades}
bolodocaco: {4-Spades}{2-Diamonds}

The flush draw was ahead for gurdien who needed just to fade a couple outs to secure a double up, which is exactly what happened after the {8-Hearts} hit the river.
