Kuo Hits the River

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

After a raise and a call it was Kitty Kuo who over called from the big blind. The flop came {3-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{8-Hearts} and Kuo checked to the initial raiser. A bet of 650 followed and the first player got out of the way. Kuo made the call however, and check called another 1,625 on the {2-Clubs} turn as well.

The river came the {10-Diamonds} and Kuo checked. Her opponent bet a hefty 3,900 and Kuo called. The initial raiser showed {K-Hearts}{J-Hearts} for a missed flush draw, the pot went to Kuo who had a missed (turned) flush draw of her own, but had also hit a pair with her {K-Clubs}{10-Clubs}.

Holz Flops a Flush

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

On a flop of {9-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} we saw 800 go in a person with three players involved, though we must admit we didn't see the order the chips went in. On the turn the {5-Diamonds} appeared and the small blind, a lady in middle position, and Fedor Holz in the cutoff all checked.

The river came the {8-Clubs} and the small blind bet 1,500. The player in middle position made the call and Holz over called after frowning for a bit.

The small blind his face told us he didn't have much, but he did show a flush with the {7-Diamonds}{7-Spades}. That was enough to beat the player in middle position as she mucked her cards. Holz then tabled his {Q-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} and took down the pot. Good start for Holz who also made the $100,000 Challenge final table.

Kaverman vs. Sylvia

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

Byron Kaverman, the 2015 GPI Player of the Year, raised to 500 from the button and Jesse Sylvia, who you may recall as the 2012 World Series of Poker Main Event runner-up, called from the small blind. The two took a flop of {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{10-Hearts}, and then both checked, as they did on the {2-Clubs} turn.

When the {2-Hearts} double paired the board on the river, Sylvia checked and then quickly folded when Kaverman bet 700. Not much of a hand, but it gave us a good excuse to update you on their respective chip counts.

Two Pair Gets Wang Started Off on the Right Track

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

An under-the-gun player opened for 600 and WSOP bracelet winner Michael Wang called from middle position. The players in the blinds both called, and four players saw the flop, which came down {7-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{k-Clubs}.

Two checks saw the original raiser continue for 1,250, and only Wang called to see the {Q-Spades} turn. The under-the-gun player bet 2,500, Wang called, and the {9-Spades} completed the board on the river. The under-the-gun player slowed down with a check but still called when Wang bet 6,800.

Wang rolled over the {k-Spades}{q-Hearts} for two pair, and it was good as his opponent mucked.

Stevan Gives Lin Something to Chew On

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

Celina Lin raised to 500 from the cutoff and Stevan Chew in the small blind was the sole caller. Chew checked on {A-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{2-Spades} and initial raiser Lin made a bet of 500. Chew came along and checked again once the {10-Spades} hit the turn. Lin continued for 1,000. So far, this could have been a limit game, but things changed drastically as Chew made it 3,600. Lin made the call.

The river {Q-Spades} had Chew bet 4,400. Lin didn't like it too much, but in the end found the prize to good to fold.

Chew showed {Q-Diamonds}{K-Clubs} and Lin mucked, later claiming she had a set. John Juanda recently joined Lin's and Chew's table, he's at about starting stack.

Levy Looking to Climb Australia's All-Time Money List

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

After a player in middle position opened for 500, action folded to Grant Levy in the big blind. Levy, who currently sits eighth on Australia's all-time money list with $2,200,877 in live tournament earnings, called the raise and then both players checked the {8-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{5-Spades} flop as well as the {A-Spades} turn.

When the {9-Clubs} completed the board on the river, Levy checked and the original raiser bet 500. Levy called with the {8-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} for a pair of eights, which was good against his opponents {k-Clubs}{6-Clubs}. Despite winning that hand, Levy is down a bit from the starting stack.
