Liebert's Pocket Pair is Good

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

We caught the action with a flop of {4-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{q-Spades} and a four-way pot. After a check from Kathy Liebert, a player bet 550, two players got out of the way, and Liebert made the call. The turn was the {2-Clubs} and both players checked. After the {5-Spades} river, Liebert check-called a 925 bet from her opponent and rolled over {10-Hearts}{10-Spades} which was better than the {j-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} of her opponent.

Barry Greenstein

Glenn Lafaye raised to 250 from early position and two opponents called. Barry Greenstein reraised to 1,300 from the button and Lafaye called as did one of the two opponents. The flop came {9-Spades}{4-Hearts}{k-Spades} and it was checked to Greenstein who bet 1,600. Lafaye and Greenstein's other opponent both folded, and Greenstein won the pot.

We caught the action with a flop of {8-}{j-}{k-} and Brent Hanks checked to his opponent who bet 1,100. Hanks called and the turn was the {4-Spades}. Hanks checked, his opponent bet 1,700, Hanks check-raised all in, and his opponent made the call.

Hanks was in command, turning over {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts} versus the {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} of his opponent. The {3-Clubs} river completed the board and Hanks sent his opponent packing.

Lafaye Again

Level 1 : 25/50, 0 ante

We didn't catch the action, but Barry Greenstein is seated at the same table as Glenn Lafaye and caught our attention to tell us how Lafaye chipped up even further.

Lafaye busted another player when his flopped set of threes ended up as quads, besting the straight of the eliminated player. Greenstein needled, "and Matt Affleck added some chips to the pot trying to rep a hand."

Lafaye is continuing to run hot here early.
