Sembrano Picks Up Cowboys to Score Early Knockout

Level 2: 100 / 200 ante: 200

Alvin Jeff Sembrano

Alvin Jeff Sembrano opened to 400 from under the gun, Sung Do Kwok three-bet to 3,100 from early position and Sembrano shoved with a covering stack. Kwok, who had started the hand with 30,000, called and was at risk.

The board ran out K♣ T♣ A♣ 4♠ A♥ giving Sembrano kings full of aces to eliminate Kwok and score nearly a full double up.
