"You Had Me Seeing Ghosts"

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

There were over 17,000 in the middle on a board that read Q2107A when this hand was picked up. Ramon Kropmanns checked from early position before Charles Ansanelli bet 10,000 from the hijack. Kropmanns responded with a check-raise to 50,800 to put Ansanelli to a big decision on the river.

Ansanelli went into the tank as he cut out the chips for a call and took an estimation of how much he would have left should he call.

"Show me king-Jack," said Ansanelli, presumably expecting the worst as he made the call.

Kropmanns showed KQ for a pair of queens instead. Ansanelli tabled Q10 for two pair to claim the pot.

"You had me seeing ghosts," said Ansanelli. "I almost folded."

Moshi Pressures Richardson

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

There were already three players in an 18,000 pot looking at the 346 flop.

Christopher Richardson bet 5,500 on the flop and Mario Vojvoda folded from under the gun. Rivon Moshi called from the cutoff and the pair continued heads up to the 5 turn.

Moshi checked, Richardson bet 7,500 and Moshi tanked, counted out his stack, and then raised to 21,300. Richardson made a swift fold, leaving Moshi to pick up the pot just before the dinner break.
