Koop Over Loeser in Three-Bet Pot

Level 3 : 100/200, 200 ante

Niko Koop made it 600 on the button and called a three-bet to 2,500 by Manig Loeser on his left. They both checked the flop for a board of {j-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{j-Hearts}. Koop bet 3,800 this time when checked to, and Loeser stuck around for the {3-Clubs} river. This time, Loeser quickly folded to 11,000.

Hockin Flips Well

Level 3 : 100/200, 200 ante

Paul Hockin raced preflop with {9-Spades}{9-Hearts}, having a covering stack against a player who showed {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}. Hockin's pair prevailed on the {8-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{q-Spades} and he magnetized his opponent's chips to improve to 39,000 or so.

"Good Laydown" for Glaser

Level 3 : 100/200, 200 ante

A player in early position bet 1,000 on a {6-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{j-Clubs} flop and Benny Glaser made it 3,000 on the button. His opponent wasted little time before splashing in a three-bet to 12,000. Glaser tanked about 90 seconds and folded.

"Good laydown," his opponent said, flashing {a-}{j-} for top two.

Davies Gets Max Value with Bullets

Level 3 : 100/200, 200 ante

On a flop of {5-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}, Seth Davies fired 6,000 into about 10,000 out of the small blind. Sebastian Trisch raised in the cutoff, making it 15,700 and Benny Glaser paused on the button. Glaser eventually decided to leave the contest, but Davies announced he was all in for 27,700. Trisch called right away.

Davies: {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}
Trisch: {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}

Trisch had Davies covered by about 10,000, but his pair of jacks trailed and the {2-Spades} turn and {9-Clubs} river didn't change that.

Bain Heating Up

Level 3 : 100/200, 200 ante

From under the gun, Tristan Bain bet enough to cover his opponent's stack of 14,000 with {10-Spades}{j-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{3-Hearts} on the board. The pot already contained more than 33,000, and the player on the button spent more than a minute in the tank before giving it up.

Lin Rivers Huge Double Through Schlie

Level 3 : 100/200, 200 ante

Kan Lin opened to 600 under the gun, earning four calls before Nikolas Schlie squeezed to 5,200 out of the big blind. Lin fired back, reraising to 11,500 to get rid of all four flat-callers. Schlie called to see the flop.

It fell {10-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} and Schlie checked to Lin who paused before moving all in for 16,850. Schlie threw in one chip, calling.

Schlie was ahead with {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} against {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds} but Lin had a decent amount of outs to pull ahead. The {2-Hearts} turn wasn't one of his needed cards, and he stood up, preparing to leave the table. Then the {2-Diamonds} hit the felt, giving him the nut flush and a big double. Schlie was left with a starting stack while Lin continued with just under 60,000.

Vijayaram Folds to a Shove

Level 3 : 100/200, 200 ante
Shane Vijayaram
Shane Vijayaram

Shane Vijayaram was on the button, tangling in a three-bet pot with David Luong in the small blind. The action was caught on the {7-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} turn where Luong checked to Vijayaram who fired 5,000 into 12,400. Luong slid forward enough chips to cover Vijayaram's remaining 6,500 or so. Vijayaram spent several minutes tanking, and he eventually mucked.

"Wanna see one?" Luong asked, and while Vijayaram didn't provide a clear answer, Luong flipped over the {a-Clubs}.
