Kruk Wakes Up With Kings to Double Off Tatar

Livello 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Marcin Kruk moved all in for 55,000 from the big blind and Nemanja Tatar called on the button.

Marcin Kruk: K♣K♠
Nemanja Tatar: 6♣6♦

Kruk had picked up kings to leave himself a big favorite to double up. The 5♠9♥Q♦2♦4♣ presented no threat and Kruk doubled up, knocking Tatar, who had been flirting with 300,000 earlier in the day, down to about 90,000.

At the same time, Paolo Boi is himself hovering around the 300,000 mark.

Livello 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Carl Dit Scrudil bet 7,000 from the cutoff on a flop of 7♠10♦J♣ and Michael Uguccioni raised to 20,000 in the small blind. Jorge Ufano called, while Dit Scrudil got out of the way.

The turn was the 5♣ and Uguccioni checked over to Fano, who bet 16,500. Uguccioni called and the A♣ fell on the river.

Ufano then bet 30,000 and Uguccinoi tanked for so long that the clock had to be called. Uguccioni then turned over A♦J♦ and tossed it into the muck as Ufano took the pot without showdown.

"I had the same hand," Dit Scrudil said.
