Myrtil Gets Through Five Opponents on the Flop
Level 2
: Blinds 100/200, 100 ante
After five limps in front of him, Bichar Myrtil raised to 1,700 in the big blind. Four of his opponents called to see a flop of J♣5♣2♥.
Following a check from Andrew Koenigsberg in the small blind, Myrtil bet 6,000. The table quickly folded around to Koenigsberg who asked, "you guys are leaving it to me to defend?"
Koenigsberg thought for a moment and then opted to fold as well, sending an early pot to Myrtil.

Paul Doubles through Threadgill
Level 2
: Blinds 100/200, 100 ante
A completed board of A♥10♠6♠K♥9♦ was in the center of the table beside a pot of about 26,000 chips when Michael Paul went all in from late position for his last 11,200.
Brenda Threadgill, who had checked to Paul, thought briefly in early position before making the call.
Paul showed 10♦9♠8♦7♠ for a rivered ten-high straight. Threadgill showed A♠Q♦6♣3♠ for two pair, aces and sixes, which soon after went into the muck as the pot was pushed to Paul.
