Liperis Denied a Big Pot on the River

Level 17 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Yiannis Liperis raised to 11,000 in early position and was called by Brandon Harris in the cutoff, as well as small blind Mazin Karkotli.

The flop came AQQ and Liperis continued for 15,000. Both opponents called to see the 6 turn.

Liperis then bet another 28,000 and only Karkotli called this time as Harris got out of the way. The river came the 10 and Liperis bet 76,000 this time.

Karkotli quickly called and Liperis showed KQ for trip queens. Karkotli, though, had Q10 for a rivered full house as he put a dent in Liperis' stack.

Thomson Calls Johnson With Ace-High

Level 17 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Greg Thomson raised to 12,000 on the button before Christopher Johnson three-bet to 40,000 in the big blind.

Thomson called and the flop came 4K4. Johnson continued for 37,000 and Thomson called once more.

Both players checked the 6 turn, then Johnson fired out 120,000 on the 6 river. Thomson used up a time bank before putting in the chips to call, turning over AQ for two pair, ace-kicker.

Johnson, though, had Q6 for a full house as he took the big pot.
