Small Raises the River

Level 4 : 75/150, 0 ante

We found Sean Small facing a 550 bet from an opponent in the big blind with the board reading {9-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{9-Hearts}. Small silently dropped a stack of chips into the middle for a raise to 1600. His opponent folded.

Gaber's Top Set Pays Off

Level 3 : 50/100, 0 ante

According to Oliver Gill Gaber, he was locked into a pot with an opponent on a nine-high flop. Gaber, holding {9-}{9-}, raised his opponent's flop bet, and his opponent called before checking the turn dark. Gaber bet 1,000 in the dark, and his opponent shoved all in. Gaber called, and his opponent tabled a set of sixes. Gaber's hand held up.

Lew Gets Four-Bet

Level 3 : 50/100, 0 ante

Online legend Randy "nanonoko" Lew has brought his patented aggressive style to the tournament felt. It backfired on him in a hand we witnessed, however, after he reraised to 700 when the button opened for 200 and the small blind called. The original raiser popped it up to 1,700, and Lew folded.

Annette Obrestad went busto.

According to Bernard Lee, Annette Obrestad lost the majority of her chips when she ran queens into an opponent's aces. She then lost the remainder on a queen-high flop with three diamonds when she had {q-}{10-} against an opponent with {k-Diamonds}{q-}.

Elsewhere, Kathy Liebert got all in with {j-}{j-} on a {7-}{5-}{2-} flop. Unfortunately for her, her opponent held pocket sevens for top set, and it held.
