Team PokerStars Pro Raymond Wu began the action with a raise to 700. Ning Sun decided to come along from late position. The flop came {3-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{5-Hearts} and both players checked.

The {4-Hearts} came and again Wu checked. This time, though, Sun chose to bet 500. Wu made the call and the {Q-Diamonds} was dealt. Wu checked over to Sun who bet 525, which Wu immediately called.

Sun turned over {a-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} for a wheel which seemed to amuse Wu as he tossed his cards to the muck.

A Raise Is Getting The Job Done

Level 3 : 150/300, 0 ante

We've been scouring the room for some excitement. Play seems to be a bit slower in pace than yesterday's start. On our last pass by the tables, we witnessed seven pots won with a raise or a reraise indicating players aren't ready to gamble just yet.

Li Eliminated

Level 3 : 150/300, 0 ante

We arrived at the table just as Juicy Li opened to 700 from middle position. She was called by the player in the cut off, before the player on the button raised it up to 1,900. Li then quickly re-raised it up to 4,500 which forced the player in-between to fold. The other player called and both watched the flop come down {j-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}.

Li threw out a continuation bet of 3,200 but was met with another raise to 7,000. She made the call. The {2-Diamonds} fell in the turn, and Li opted to move all in for her remaining 6,000 in chips. She was snap called, and wasn't to pleased.

Li: {9-Diamonds}{10-Spades}
Opponent: {A-Clubs}{k-Spades}

Li made a move and unfortunately was unable to improve on the {9-Clubs} river, sending her to the rail.

Huntly Applies The Pressure

Level 3 : 150/300, 0 ante

The action started with the player in middle position betting out 650. Gordon Huntly made the call from the cut off, as did the player on the button and big blind.

The flop came down {10-Spades}{6-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} and the big blind checked, as did the original raiser. Huntly reached for his chips and threw in 1,100 before the player on the button raised it up to 2,550.

The big blind got out of the way, as the decision fell on the player in middle position.

"Do you have a yellow?" he asked, referring to the raisers 5,000-chips.

"One," was the reply, which forced a fold shortly after.

With the action back on Huntly, he quickly grabbed a stack of chips totaling 18,000 and placed them into the middle. The bet had his opponent covered, who mucked his hand almost instantly.

Huntly Taking A Stand

Level 3 : 150/300, 0 ante
Gordon Huntly
Gordon Huntly

Gordon Huntly has been active today and this hand was no different. He opened with a raised to 700 and a player in middle position called as did Farhad Mohajerani from the big blind.

Mohajerani checked the {3-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} flop to Huntly who bet 950. The player in middle position folded and Mohajerani made the call.

Mohajerani again checked when the {2-Clubs} turn was dealt. Huntly made it 1,450 to go and Mohajerani answered with a raise to 3,150.
After two previous hands of folding to a three-bet on the turn, Huntley decided to take a stand with an all in. This seemed to surprise Mohajerani as he removed his headphones and started studying the board and Huntly. Mohajerani eventually found the found but didn't seem to like it.

Cheung Gives Up

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

We arrived at the table just as Jay Tan threw in a bet of 800 from under the gun. Sparrow Cheung the bumped it up to 2,100 from middle position as the action folded back around to Tan. She called.

The flop came down {10-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{4-Spades} and Tan checked. Cheung reached for his chips and placed out 2,200. Tan looked over, before raising it up to 5,500. The bet was enough to take down the pot, as Cheung's cards flew into the muck.
