Romero Scores a KO

Level 7 : 400/800, 800 ante

The cutoff opened to 2,000, Denise Romero called on the button, and the small blind three-bet all in to 7,700.

The cutoff folded, and Romero made the call.

Small Blind: {k-Spades}{q-Clubs}
Denise Romero: {k-Clubs}{j-Clubs}

Board: {6-Clubs}{10-Spades}{q-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{2-Clubs}

The board brought in top pair for the small blind, but Romero still had plenty of equity with the open-ended straight draw and backdoor flush draw. The latter of those two came in for Romero with running clubs on the turn and river, sending her opponent to the exit.

Rafay Adds to the Mountain

Level 7 : 400/800, 800 ante

Facing an open raise to 3,000 from under the gun, Robert Rafay three-bet to 11,000 from the hijack.

Action folded back around to the original raiser, who asked for a count on the bet, tanked, briefly, then folded. After taking down the uncontested pot, Rafay is up to 73,000 chips as Level 7 plays on.

Walker Value Bets, Gets Paid

Level 6 : 300/600, 600 ante

Edo Walker, facing a check from an under-the-gun opponent, put out a bet for 3,200 on a {3-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{8-Spades}{10-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} board.

The opponent thought it over briefly before calling, but saw the bad news when Walker showed down {5-Spades}{3-Hearts}, good for two pair and the winning hand.

Murillo Gets There on the River

Level 6 : 300/600, 600 ante

With the board showing {j-Clubs}{2-Spades}{8-Spades}{9-Hearts}, Michelle Murillo bet 1,600, and a button opponent called.

Both players checked the {10-Spades} river, and that card proved to be a good one for Murillo, who turned over {a-Spades}{10-Diamonds} to get the best of her opponent's {a-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}
