Kost Scoops A Massive Pot

Level 31 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 0 ante
Nick Kost
Nick Kost

Action folded to Kyle Cartwright who raised from the button. Jim Collopy three-bet from the small blind only to see Nick Kost quickly four-bet from the big blind.

Cartwright and Collopy both called to see a 9?Q?4? flop. Collopy led into Kost who quickly raised which got Cartwright to fold before Collopy called and saw a 5? turn card with Kost.

Collopy opted to check-call a bet from Kost to get to the 6? river on which he decided once more to check-call a bet from Kost.

Kost tabled the A?Q?6?2?, good for both the high and the low as Kost scooped a massive multi-way four-bet pot and began to distance himself from the field.

Eric Varnado was left with only a few chips behind after calling a preflop raise by Kyle Burnside.

"I'm probably not folding," Burnside said as the flop came 4?K?8?. Varnado put in his last chips and Burnside called.

Eric Varnado: J?10?K?Q?
Kyle Burnside: Q?2?A?6?

The turn brought the 3? and Varnado was already drawing dead as Burnside made the nut flush. The meaningless river was the 4? and Varnado headed for the payout desk.
