Double Force

Level 9 : 30,000/60,000, 0 ante

Leif Force decided not to take his lammer and try his luck with his 72,000-chip stack.

He shoved with {q-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} and Koon called with {5-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}.

The board ran {10-Spades}{7-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}.

Force's queen-high was good for a double-up.

Announcer Getting Grief from the Rail

Level 9 : 30,000/60,000, 0 ante

One of the Brits on the rail, Sam Grafton, has been giving our announcer some grief.

"Come on mate, make it interesting. I'm falling asleep over here!"

"Make it sound more colorful like 'Koon stares at his opponent, reaches for chips, dressed like Bono'." was an example of what he was shouting.

Force Streching Out

Level 9 : 30,000/60,000, 0 ante

Leif Force has about a 1.1m to 300k advantage (first lammer) over Jason Koon after his latest pot-win.

Koon limped in and called when Force raised to 60,000. The flop came {7-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{j-Spades} and Force continued for 80,00. Call.

Both players checked the {10-Clubs} turn before Koon folded to a 160,000 bet on the {4-Diamonds} river.

Two Small Ones for Force

Level 9 : 30,000/60,000, 0 ante

Jason Koon won a pot with a big four-bet pre flop, and then Leif Force won two small ones.

Force three-bet to 150,000 off the big blind and then made a pot-sized bet on the {q-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{a-Diamonds} flop. Koon called the first bet but folded on the flop.

The next hand Force raised to 50,000 and Koon called. The flop came {2-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds} and Koon called a 60,000 c-bet. The turn came {4-Clubs} and 175,000 bet from Force was too much for Koon to handle.

Force Off to Good Start

Level 9 : 30,000/60,000, 0 ante

Leif Force has gotten the better of the early exchanges. He four-bet all-in and then won a pot that made it to the river.

Jason Koon opened to 25,000 and Force defended to see a {q-Spades}{6-Spades}{2-Spades} flop.

Koon continued for 32,000 and Force check-called before both players checked the {3-Clubs} turn. The river fell {9-Spades} and Force took the pot with a 40,000 as Koon folded.
