A player opened to 2,200 from early position, Jeff Chan called in the cutoff, and a third player called out of the small blind. The dealer fanned {j-Spades}{10-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}, the player in the small blind checked, and the original raiser continued for 6,500. Chan raised to 13,000, the player in the small blind folded, and the original raiser called.

The turn was the {8-Clubs}, the original raiser check-called a bet of 13,000, and the {j-Clubs} completed the board. The player checked Chan fired out 16,000, and the player tank-folded.

Makarova Makes it Happen

Level 6 : 250/500, 50 ante

When we arrived at the table, a short-stacked player was all in for what looked like 10,000 or so. A second player begrudgingly called, and Yuliya Makarova, who had a raise in front of her, called.

Makarova: {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}
Opponent: {8-Hearts}{7-Clubs}

Makarova extender her lead on a flop of {4-Clubs}{a-Spades}{2-Clubs}, and sealed the deal as the turn and river bricked {j-Hearts}, {k-Diamonds} respectively.

"I had tens," the player who folded announced. "If I moved all in, would you've called."

There was a beat.

"Yes," Makarova said flatly.

We are Family

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

The player under the gun limped in. He was joined by... every one else at the table. That's right, all ten players limped in. No raises. No folds. Just good old family fun.

The flop came {10-Clubs}{7-Spades}{2-Hearts}. A fairly nondescript flop that surely had to hit at least a few players. A player in middle position was the first to take a stab at the pot, placing a bet of 750 in the middle. That weeded out most of the crowd as only two would call. The turn was the {Q-Diamonds}. The flop bettor made it 2,000 this time. That was enough to win the pot, which was at 4,500 before a flop was even put out.
