Pushing Back Against Hwang

On a flop of {3-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{j-Clubs}, Sean Hwang checked and his opponent bet 6,000. Hwang wasted no time pushing out a raise to 12,000 and his opponent called.

The {K-Hearts} turned and Hwang slowed down with one more check. His opponent took this opportunity to fire 21,000 and a look of surprised washed over Hwang's face. He let go of his hand and the pot was pushed to his opponent.

Cheung Will Be Back For Day 1b

Robert Cheung has recently been eliminated. He gave us the details after the hand.

The player on the button raised to 3,000 only to have the small blind ship all in. Cheung moved all in for his last roughly 20,000 from the big blind and the button thought for about two minutes before calling.

Cheung: {Q-}{Q-}
Small Blind: {j-}{j-}
Button: {K-Spades}{J-Spades}

The flop brought a king and that was all she wrote for both Cheung and the player in the small blind. Cheung made sure to tell us that he will be back to try again in tomorrow's flight.

Sutherland Doubles Through Levy

We caught up to see four players looking down at a flop of {6-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}. Tyler Lee checked and the player to hit left bet out 6,700. Alex Sutherland replied by moving all in for his last 42,000 and Adam Levy moved all in over the top for even more. The other two players folded and the hands were tabled:

Levy: {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}
Sutherland: {J-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}

Sutherland was looking for a diamond and found exactly that on the {5-Diamonds} turn. The {7-Diamonds} fell on the river just for good measure, and he was able to crack Levy's aces and score a double up. Sutherland now has about 96,000 while Levy has been crippled to 10,000.

Lee Bluffs Levy

Adam Levy opened with a raise to 2,400 and his only caller was Tyler Lee. The flop was {2-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{10-Spades} and Levy fired out a continuation bet of 3,700. Lee wasted no time raising the action to 10,700 total, prompting an eventual call from Levy.

Fourth street brought the {3-Spades} and Levy checked. Lee moved 12,000 into the middle and Levy once again opted to stick around. The board completed with the {8-Spades} and Levy rapped the table once more. Lee shot out 25,000 and Levy went into the tank for well over ninety seconds before finally releasing his hand.

As he dragged in his new chips, Lee showed {9-Clubs}{8-Clubs} for nothing more than a rivered pair of eights. With this win, Lee has boosted his stack to about 160,000.
