MacKinnon Flops Broadway

Level 3 : 75/150, 0 ante

The board raed {K-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{A-Hearts}{4-Spades} and there was already roughly 2,700 in the pot. DJ MacKinnon was heads up in a pot with an opponent. His opponent checked and MacKinnon bet 1,400. A call prompted the {10-Clubs} to complete the board. MacKinnon's opponent checked one last time and MacKinnon bet 3,000. His opponent called and MacKinnon tabled {Q-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} for a flopped straight. His opponent mucked and MacKinnon dragged in the pot. He's currently sporting a stack of about 24,000.

Phillips Fires Three Bullets

Level 3 : 75/150, 0 ante

Jerry Yang opened to 150 from the hijack seat, Carter Phillips called on his direct left, and Ebony Kenney defended her big blind. The dealer fanned {j-Clubs}{9-Spades}{2-Hearts}, and the action checked to Phillips, who tossed out 325. Only Yang called.

The turn was the {a-Clubs}, Yang checked again, and Phillips bet 750. Yang tank-called.

The {j-Diamonds} completed the board, and Yang checked a third and final time. Phillips emptied the chamber, firing 1,550, and Yang tanked for the better part of two minutes before folding.

Carter Phillips

Carter Philipps, who won Event 31: $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em at the 2012 World Series of Poker, opened in middle position, Ebony Kenney three-bet from the cutoff, and the action folded back to Phillips, who called.

The dealer fanned {4-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{3-Spades}, and Phillips checked. Kenney fired 1,025, and Phillips made the call.

The turn was the {2-Hearts}, Phillips checked again, and Kenney reached for chips.

"Sixteen-twenty-five," she announced, tossing forward two orange T1,000 chips and a single green T25 chip.

Phillips quickly called.

A repeat deuce - the {2-Diamonds} - completed the board, and both players checked. Phillips flipped over {q-Hearts}{8-Hearts}, and Kenney mucked her hand.

Kenney Can't Buy It

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

We got to the table to find four players including Ebony Kenney and Carter Phillips take a flop. The dealer spread {3-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{5-Spades} on the felt and all four players tapped the table to take a turn.

The board paired with the {5-Spades} and Kenney wasted little time dropping 1,525 into the middle. The next player to act called while Phillips and the fourth player got out of the way. A third five hit the river- the {5-Diamonds} to be exact. Both players checked and Kenney showed {A-Clubs}{Q-Hearts} for ace-queen high. Her opponent showed {Q-Clubs}{10-Spades} for fives full of tens and took down the pot.

Battle of the Blinds

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

Action folded to Harrison Gimbel's small blind and he raised to 300. The player in the big blind would not be pushed around, however, as he made it 900 to go. Gimbel called.

The flop brought {10-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{2-Spades} and Gimbel rapped the table. His opponent bet 800 and despite thinking for about thirty seconds, Gimbel opted to release his hand and the pot was awarded to his opponent.

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

A player opened to 225 on the button, Josh Arieh called in the small blind, and the flop came {4-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}. Arieh led out for 300, and his opponent called.

The turn produced the {7-Clubs}, Arieh led out again - this time for 800 - and again his opponent called.

The {k-Diamonds} completed the board, and both players checked. Arieh tabled {q-Spades}{9-Clubs} for a pair of queens, and his opponent mucked.
