Berg Doubles Through Kuo

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Eli Berg opened under the gun to 2,500 before the action was on Kitty Kuo on the button who put in a three-bet to 8,000. It folded back to Berg who only took a moment before four-betting all in. Kuo snap-called and they were off to a full board with Berg all in and at risk.

Eli Berg: KK
Kitty Kuo: AK

The 9K7 flop landed giving Berg a set and the lead. The dealer gave a sweat when he dealt the 5 turn but the 6 river would seal the deal giving Berg the pure double.

Cho Sniffs Out the Bluff

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

It folded all the way to the small blind who limped and Arden Cho checked her option in the big blind.

Some table talk started between the two players as Cho asked her opponent multiple times if he had actually checked his cards and she got little response.

The 5J10 flop landed and action checked through to a 9 turn. The small blind opted to lead this card for 1,000 and Cho quickly called.

The J rolled off on the river and the small blind opted to bet again for a large size of 4,100. Cho tanked for a moment but found a call pretty quickly and was shown the good news.

The small blind tabled 42 for a bluff and Cho proudly tabled 102 for just a second pair that was good enough to drag the pot.
