Sun Continues Where He Left Off

Level 3 : 150/300, 0 ante

Fresh off his victory in the $50,000 Freezeout event last night, Sheng Sun is back to his winning ways, taking down a recent pot.

After the player in middle position raised to 700, Sun opted to bump it up to 2,150 and was called. The flop came down {6-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{4-Spades} and both players checked.

The {q-Hearts} on the turn was met with an instant 2,000 bet from Sun. It was enough to take down the pot as his opponent mucked his hand.

Nagata All Smiles

Level 3 : 150/300, 0 ante

Yoshiro Nagata had a wide grin all over his face when the final community card fell and gave him the best hand. What had happened? The Japanese was involved in a clicking war with raises to 1,000, 3,000, 6,000 and 12,000 by Nagata before he had to call off a shove for 19,000 by his opponent.

Nagata flipped over {8-Hearts}{9-Hearts} and was up against {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}. The {8-Clubs}{3-Spades}{A-Spades} flop and {3-Diamonds} flop were not necessarily useful, but the {8-Spades} on the river brought a miracle full house for the Japanese and he is up to more than three times the starting stack.

O’Dwyer Crushed

Level 3 : 150/300, 0 ante
Steve O'Dwyer
Steve O'Dwyer

The action started with the player in middle position raising to 700 and getting called by five players including Yubin Zheng in the cut off and Steve O’Dwyer on the button.

The flop came down {3-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{q-Spades} and the big blind checked. The original raiser then threw out a 2,200 continuation which was called a short time later by the player to his left. The hijack folded leaving Zheng to reach for his chips and slide out a raise to 7,700. O’Dwyer paused for a moment before announcing all in for just over 24,000 in chips. A string of folds found it’s way back to Zheng who made the call.

O’Dwyer: {A-Spades}{6-Spades}
Zheng: {3-Hearts}{3-Clubs}

Zheng had flopped a set and was up against O’Dwyer’s flush draw. The board ran out the {9-Diamonds} and {6-Clubs} to see O’Dwyer miss his spade, leaving him with just 3,000 chips.

With the decision falling back on Kim, he reached for his chips, and splashed another raise to 5,650. The bet was enough to take down the pot as Liang opted to muck his hand moments later.

Two bricks later Huang had the crucial double and continued with lots of three-bets and four-bets, any major showdown didn't happen anymore since.

Zhou Gets Rivered

Level 3 : 150/300, 0 ante

Xing Zhou had lost some chips and was down to approximately 27,000 chips but things were about to become even more ugly. In a heads-up pot on the {2-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{A-Hearts} flop, Zhou check-raised from 1,400 to 3,400 and was called before the {6-Hearts} on the turn was checked through.

After the {K-Diamonds} river, Zhou made a bet worth 3,000 and called off a raise to 9,500 to see his opponent flip over {A-Spades}{K-Clubs}. An "oh ####" followed and Zhou mucked his now inferior {2-Spades}{2-Hearts} for the worse full house.
