Phil Ivey
Phil Ivey

Phil Ivey was down to his last 32,500 to begin this hand and was in the big blind. Action folded a few spots over to Devan Tang and he raised to 7,000. After that, play folded to Mr. Ivey in the big blind and he flat-called.

The flop came down {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{6-Spades} and both players checked to see the {2-Diamonds} land on the turn. Ivey checked and Tang checked. The river completed the board with the {4-Diamonds} and they both checked again.

Ivey tabled the {Q-Clubs}{8-Clubs}, but lost to Tang's {K-Spades}{J-Spades}.

Lew Looming

PokerStars Team Online Pro Randy Lew is currently sitting behind a healthy stack and we caught a recent hand which added to his stack.

Lew opened the action preflop to 5,100 and one opponent three-bet to 13,100 before Lew made the call. The flop fell {3-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{10-Hearts} and Lew checked before calling a bet of 12,500 from his opponent. Both players opted to check as {3-Spades} hit the turn, while a {2-Clubs} would land on the river.

This time Lew though for a couple of minutes before sliding out 34,000. Lew's opponent didn't take long to make his decision as he threw his cards into the muck.

Take a Seet, Lew

We came to the action on Team PokerStars' Randy Lew's table with a board showing {9-Spades}{j-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} and him in a hand with chip leader Nathaniel Seet.

On the turn, Lew took quite a while before he decided to check, while Seet also tanked before checking. On the river it was a {4-Clubs} and again Lew thought for a long time before deciding what to do. Lew eventually bet 24,000, which was around a half pot-sized bet.

After some time, Seet said, "I won't raise you" and called, turning over {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds} to trump the {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs} of Lew who still has a nice stack of around 180,000.

Rossiter's Stack Moving Up

Jeff Rossiter is now sitting behind a very healthy stack and we caught the action on a recent exciting hand which saw Rossiter double-up.

The flop was showing {5-Hearts}{6-Spades}{2-Hearts} and Rossiter led the action with a bet of 10,500. His opponent hen raised it up to 21,000 before Rossiter moved all in. His opponent made the call and would be in trouble when Rossiter turned over {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}, while he only held {a-Diamonds}{2-Spades}.

Rossiter was looking good to take down the big pot before the {a-Hearts} hit the turn. Rossiter was looking a little dissapointed until...

The river housed a {9-Clubs}, giving Rossiter the third nine and sending him the pot.
