Lucky Double Up for Fournier

Level 31 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Gregory Fournier made a big raise in middle position to 1,845,000, leaving him with 250,000 chips behind. Michael Allen decided to reshape in the hijack with a. bigger stack and the rest of the players folded. Fournier sent his last chips in the middle to call and they tabled their cards:

Gregory Fournier: K?Q?
Michael Allen: A?Q?

Fournier seemed in bad shape for a double up, but the board revealed K?4?6?8?5? to give him the winning hand with a pair of kings.

Paul Gunness
Paul Gunness

The under the gun player David Goodman raised to 400,000 and Paul Gunness called from late position.

The flop came out with 4?Q?8? and Goodman checked and Gunness bet 320,000. Goodman made a bold reraise to 1,600,000 and Gunness announced all in which would be effective about 300,000.

Goodman tanked for a long time and finally called.

David Goodman: A?5? for the nut flush draw.
Paul Gunness: Q?J? for top pair.

Goodman did not receive his flush with the turn 8? and the river was the 3? and Gunness's top pair won the pot.

Roman Hrabec

The flop showed K?7?Q? in a heads-up pot when Pavel Plesuv check-called from the small blind a bet worth 400,000 from Roman Hrabec.

The 8? hit the turn and after another check from Plesuv, Hrabec fired 1,500,000 into the pot. Plesuv tanked for a minute and called.

The 7? completed the board and Plesuv checked again. Hrabec thought about his move for some time and pushed 3,100,000 in front of him, keeping only one 25,000-chip behind.

Plesuv quickly called to show K?Q? for two pair while Hrabec, holding A?K?, was left with almost nothing.

Douglas Running Hot

Level 31 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

A player in late position, Michael Allen raised all in for about 2,000,000 and Champie Douglas called on the button.

Michael Allen: A?J?
Champie Douglass: 4?4?

The board came out with a lot of sweat for Douglass, 10?7?9?Q?2? every card that came out Douglass said "Oh that's not good". But in the end the fours reigned over the ace jack and Douglass added to his already massive stack.
