Kotula Hero Calls Correctly

Level 24 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

On a flop reading {q-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{8-Hearts}, the player in the cutoff had pushed all in for his entire stack of about 600,000 and Jonathan Kotula went into the tank. After about a minute of thinking he made the call and his opponent tapped the table to say good call.

Opponent: {7-Clubs}{5-Hearts}
Jonathan Kotula: {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}

The turn of the {k-Spades} did not improve the opponents' hand and the {j-Clubs} river gave Kotula the pot, sending him to over 1.4 million in chips.

Naets Takes One Down

Level 24 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Sylvain Naets went all in in the small blind and the big blind player called with the effective stack.

Big Blind: {a-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}
Sylvain Naets: {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}

The flop came {k-Clubs}{2-Spades}{4-Diamonds} which had the small blind drawing to running chop outs or running nines. The {j-Clubs} on the turn left him drawing dead and he was out of his seat by the time the {5-Clubs} hit the river.
