Lewis Surges Back into the Lead

Level 5 : 400/800, 600 ante

With roughly 7,000 in the middle on the {4-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{A-Hearts} flop, Tony Lewis bet out 2,200 and Kristen Bicknell raised to 7,000.

Lewis called, and when the turn landed the {6-Hearts}, he checked. Bicknell bet 7,300 and Lewis called before both players checked the {5-Hearts} on the river.

Bicknell tabled her {A-Clubs}{10-Clubs}, but it would be Lewis' {A-Spades}{J-Clubs} for two pair that would earn him the pot, and the chip lead once again.

Level 5 : 400/800, 600 ante
Sorel Mizzi
Sorel Mizzi

Following a raise to 2,000 and a call, the player next to act three-bet to 8,200 as the action turned to Sorel Mizzi in the big blind.

Mizzi moved all in for 21,350, and after the initial raiser folded, along with the player in the middle, the three-bettor called to put Mizzi at risk.

Mizzi: {Q-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}
Opponent: {A-Clubs}{4-Clubs}

Mizzi had the best of it with his pocket pair, but when the dealer spread the {2-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} board, Mizzi's opponent would turn a flush to send him to the rail.

Gerrits Trending Down

Level 5 : 400/800, 600 ante

Following a raise to 1,600 in middle position, and then a call from the button, Martijn Gerrits three-bets the big blind to 7,500.

The initial raiser folded, but the button called as the flop landed {5-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}.

Gerrits continued for 6,000, and his opponent called before the {6-Hearts} and {3-Spades} are checked down on the turn and river.

Gerrits tabled his {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades} for ace-high, but it would be his opponent's {J-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} that would earn him the pot.
