Trips Good for BaZa

Level 10 : 700/1,400, 200 ante

When we arrived at Brad Bower's table he was involved in a hand against one opponent on a {j-Spades}{j-Clubs}{3-Hearts} flop. Bower had the button and bet 5,400 when his opponent checked from the small blind position. The player called and the dealer turned over a {9-Hearts} on the turn.

This time Bower's opponent checked and then moved all in for around 50,000 when Bower fired out another 10,300. Bower shrugged as he made the call and the two players turned their hands over.

Bower: {j-Hearts}{8-Spades}
Opponent: {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}

The {10-Clubs} was of no help to Bower's opponent as he made his way out of the tournament area. Bower is now sitting behind a very handy chip stack.

Yo Yo for Yogo

Level 10 : 700/1,400, 200 ante

We didn't see the action, but arrived to witness the aftermath as Iori Yogo was raking in a monstrous pot. The board read {4-Clubs}{10-Spades}{2-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{J-Hearts} with Yogo's {K-Clubs}{10-Clubs} making a flush to crack his opponent's {A-Diamonds}{A-Spades}.

Yogo is now with the chip leaders on a stack of around 170,000.

Broom Bluffs Jessie and Shows It

Level 10 : 700/1,400, 200 ante

"Just for you Jessie," said Broom as he turned over a bluff on a hand that played out like so.

Broom opened it up to 2,800 from early position and received calls from a middle-position player and McKenzie in the big blind. On the {j-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds} flop, McKenzie checked and Broom bet 3,600. The middle position player stared down his opponents, then opted to fold. Back on McKenzie and he made the call.

The {8-Diamonds} on the turn would see McKenzie check and then Broom took his time before betting 8,300. McKenzie wanted no part of the action, letting his cards go and sending the pot to Broom.

As Broom raked in his new chips, he turned over {k-Clubs}{4-Hearts} for a whole lot of nothing.

Wesiner Hurting

Level 10 : 700/1,400, 200 ante

Three players, including Melanie Weisner, took a flop of {2-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{j-Spades} where Wiesner came out leading with a bet of 6,300. One player folded but the second opponent called as the {8-Clubs} appeared on the turn.

Both checked before the {j-Diamonds} repeated on the river. Weisner checked and then insta-called when her opponent tossed out a bet of 8,600. Her opponent seemed surprised but was happy enough with his {A-Spades}{j-Hearts} as Weisner mucked. She's now down to just 15,000 in chips.

Gurung Bags a Cooler

Level 10 : 700/1,400, 200 ante

Milan Gurung has recently seen his stack rise high above six figures. This was thanks, mostly, to a hand that saw Gurung wake up with {a-}{a-}, while an opponent unfortunately had {k-}{k-}. The board on the hand question ran out like so - {2-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{5-Hearts} - and with that another player was sent home.
