Catching the action on a board of {8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{10-Clubs} we found Oliver Speidel check-calling a bet of 5,700 as the dealer delivered the {6-Hearts} on the river.

Speidel paused for a few moments before leading out for 10,800 only to have his opponent move all in for 18,000. Speidel instantly folded and slipped to just 10,075 in chips.

PokerStars Team Pro Down

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante
Raymond Wu
Raymond Wu

We missed the action of Team PokerStars Pro Raymond Wu's elimination, but fortunately David Vamplew was kind enough to fill us in on the details.

According to him, five players saw a flop of {j-}{9-}{8-} and Wu bet 2,000. Liang Shi then put in a big raise, the other players folded, and Wu called off for approximately 8,000 with {K-}{J-}. Unfortunately for him, Shi had flopped the nuts with {Q-}{10-}.

Neither the turn nor river help Wu, and he made an early exit here in Level 2.

Meyers Runs into Jacks

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

Following a raise to 500 and two calls, Kai Sheng Yang three-bet the big blind to 2,500 total and was met with two folds before Brandon Meyers on the button called the additional 2,000.

Yang continued for 2,000 on the {2-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{5-Hearts} flop with Meyers making the call as the {Q-Hearts} landed on the turn and Yang checked. Meyers bet out 3,000 and Yang quickly called as the {Q-Clubs} was checked by both players on the river.

Yang tabled his {J-Spades}{J-Diamonds} and Meyers re-checked his hole cards before folding and slipping to 9,500 in chips.

Kurita Sends Yu to the Rail

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

A preflop raising war resulted in Ryan Nan Yu getting his chips in holding the {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} and racing against the {10-Spades}{10-Hearts} of Yu Kurita. According to the PokerNews Odds Calculator, Karita was a 56.76% favorite while Yu would come from behind 42.86% of the time.

The {8-Spades}{3-Clubs}{5-Clubs} flop was as dry as could be for Yu, and his chances of survival dropped to 25.56%. The {3-Hearts} turn just about cut it in half to 13.64%, which meant he needed either an ace or queen on the river to stay alive. The dealer burned one last time and put out the {4-Hearts}. Yu missed, quickly gathered his things, and made a beeline toward the exit.

Zhou Gives Some Back

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

Yifan Zheng opened for 500 from early position and Xing Zhou called from middle position. Jian Yang then came along from the big blind and three players saw a flop of {j-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}. Yang checked, Zheng bet 800, and only Zhou called, which led to the {2-Diamonds} turn.

Zheng tossed out another bet, this time 1,600, and it did the job as Zhou, who is down a bit since the last time we checked in on him, released his hand.

Following a raise to 400, Kahle Burns three-bet the button to 625 and Michael Tureniec called from the small blind along with the pre flop raiser.
