Philip Lays The Law On Daniel

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

The flop fell {6-Spades}{5-Spades}{3-Diamonds} in a raised pot between Dale Philip and Daniel Laidlaw.

On the flop, Philip check-called a bet of 1,100 from Laidlaw and the turn was dealt the {3-Clubs}. This time both players checked as the river landed with an {a-Hearts}.

Philip opted to again check, enticing Laidlaw to throw in 2,300. Philip looked pained as he decided if he would call, cutting out enough chips to make the call and looking at Laidlaw. After a few more moment Philip made the call and Laidlaw said, "Jack-high" as he turned over his {j-Hearts}{9-Hearts}. Philip tabled his {2-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} and took down the pot.

Kroesen Keeping Afloat

Ricky Kroesen
Ricky Kroesen

When a late position player opened the pot to 1,050 the action was sent to Ricky Kroesen in the cutoff and he promptly three-bet to 3,000. His opponent called and we would see a flop.

Flop: {4-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}

Kroesen's opponent checked to the aggressor and Kroesen threw out 3,500. His opponent called and when the {3-Spades} landed on the turn, both players opted to check. The {a-Diamonds} on the river would see both players again check.

Kroesen turned over his {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} and his opponent mucked, sending the pot to Kroesen.

Representing The Netherlands

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante
Arjen Witteveen
Arjen Witteveen

The board was showing {9-Spades}{6-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{a-Diamonds} when Arjen Witteveen check-raised all-in against Reggie Lyons. Witteveen had 17,000 remaining in his stack and if Lyons called it would be all over for the player from the Netherlands.

Lyons thought for some time before letting his hand go and sent the pot to Witteveen as he survives with a healthy 25,000 in chips.

When The Wife's Away, Haas Starts To Play

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

While his wife Leanne Haas may have been sent to the rail earlier in the day, David Haas is still going strong over at his tough table.

The pot was opened to 600 by Jesse McKenzie and he received two calls from Haas and Ben McLean in the blinds.

When the flop fell {10-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} Haas would check and McLean would bet out 1,100. McKenzie got out of the way and the action was back on Haas who decided to go for the check-raise. It was enough to scare McLean off as Haas took down the pot and survives with a healthy 17,000.

Hachem No More

Joe Hachem
Joe Hachem

The seat of PokerStars Team Pro Joe Hachem was empty when we came back from the break and we managed to get the details from some players at the table.

Apparently Hachem raised to 600 preflop and got one call from Matt Yates. The board then ran out {10-}{10-}{8-}{7-}{5-} with Hachem leading on every street until finding himself all-in on the river.

When Yates made the call and turned over {10-}{9-} it was all over for Hachem who exits after late registering and playing only one full level.
