Devo Does It
Limit Hold'em
Bryan Devonshire raised it up from middle position and was quickly three-bet by the opponent on his direct left. The rest of the table folded and Devonshire made the call.
The board came 
and Devonshire opted to check, while his opponent fired out. Devo made the call and the 
appeared on the turn. It was here that Devonshire checked again, and his opponent bet out. Instead of simply calling this time Devonshire raised. A call was made and it was off to the river.
The 
on the river saw Devonshire bet out and his opponent begrudgingly call.
Devonshire flipped over 
for top two-pair, and his opponent showed 
for a single pair of aces.

Smith Bests Chen
Bill Chen opened to 425 from under-the-gun and action folded all the way around to Gavin Smith in the big blind.
"Please give me seven-four of clubs," Smith said.
"Why, so you can raise?" Chen replied.
Smith took a peak at his cards and called.
"I do not have seven-four," Smith laughed.
The flop came and Smith checked. Chin rapped the table with his fist for a check behind.
Both players checked the 
turn also, however, when the 
completed the board, Smith fired out 475.
"I call," Chen announced.
Smith flipped up 
for kings and sixes, which was good and Smith scooped the pot.

Bellande Doubles
Limit Hold'em
We don't know exactly how the action went, but we know after a series of back and forth raises Jean-Robert Bellande was all in and at risk preflop.
Bellande: 
Opponent:
The board came 
and Bellande doubled up. Bellande is still very low and is going to need to turn it around if he wants to make a deep run in this event.
