Warde Loses Chunk to Sundberg, Wins Some Back With a Straight

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Heather Warde, who asked PokerNews to note that she is the last woman standing in the Day 1b field with five tables left, opened to 8,000 from the cutoff and Matthew Sundberg flat-called on the button.

Warde continued for 7,000 on the flop of {4-Spades}{k-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} and Sundberg called. Ward bet 12,500 on the {4-Clubs} turn and her opponent again called. Warde fired a third bet of 22,500 o the {2-Diamonds} and Sundberg quickly called before showing {k-Diamonds}{10-Spades} for top two pair. Warde did not show.

Warde was upset about losing a big portion of her stack but her mood changed on the next had when she held {6-}{8-} and flopped the nut straight on a board of {5-}{7-}{4-} to eliminate an opponent.

Jacks Hold for Leonard

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Wayne Leonard opened to 5,000 in early position and Gil Levy flat-called on the button. The big blind three-bet shoved a stack of about 28,000 and Leonard re-shoved for 53,000.

Levy mulled over his decision and gave away some information about his hand as he did so. "I haven't hit a set all day," he said before folding {7-}{7-} face-up.

Big Blind: {a-Hearts}{4-Hearts}
Wayne Leonard: {j-Clubs}{j-Hearts}

Leonard was ahead with jacks and his opponent received no help from the board of {10-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{k-Spades}{9-Spades} to hit the rail and send the sizable pot Leonard's way.

Petiote and Burns Chop Up an Opponent

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

In a three-way pot on a flop of {3-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{3-Hearts}, the first player to act shoved a stack of about 20,000 and Joey Burns flat-called as the player next to act. Lunique Petiote then raised to 51,000 and Burns went deep into the tank.

"I need a minute. I need a minute," a distressed Burns said. "I can't fold the f***ing winning hand. There's three hands that beat me."

Eventually, Burns decided to go with it and announced "I call, I'm in" before pushing his stack into the middle. He still had about 30,000 behind, which got pushed right back to him.

Burns led out with the rest of his stack on the {10-Clubs} turn and Petiote snap-called.

Opponent: {10-Spades}{7-Spades}
Lunique Petiote: {a-Spades}{3-Spades}
Joey Burns: {a-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}

Petiote and Burns both had trips with an ace kicker but Burns was now freerolling his opponent with a flush draw, while the other opponent was drawing live to a better full house. The river was not a club, seven or ten and Petiote and Burns chopped up the pot, while the third player in the hand was eliminated.
