She Lok Wong
She Lok Wong

Jeff Madsen raised to 1,125 from early position, a player called on the button, She Lok Wong called out of the small blind, and the player in the big blind defended.

The dealer fanned {q-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{5-Spades}, both players in the blinds checked, and Madsen continued for 1,950. The player on the button raised to 6,000, Wong check-raised to 15,000, and only the player on the button called.

The turn was the {2-Spades}, Wong moved all in for around 30,000, and his opponent folded.

More for Moore

Level 7 : 250/500, 75 ante

We passed by John Moore's table just as he was risking his last 8,725 with an all-in river bet.

The final board read {j-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{8-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} and Moore's opponent tanked for about a minute, before ultimately making the crying call.

Moore wasted no time in tabling his {A-Clubs}{k-Clubs} and his opponent could only flash an {A-} while mucking his out-kicked hand.

Thurman Doubles

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

After a series of bets and raises on a flop of {7-Spades}{9-Hearts}{j-Spades}, Dennis Thurman was all in and at risk for 20,000 with {a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}. His opponent, Henry Lopez, tabled {a-Spades}{k-Spades}.

The turn was black, but the {q-Clubs} didn't improve Lopez's hand, and neither did the {7-Diamonds} on the river.

Thurman doubled to 44,000 chips, while Lopez fell to 8,000.

Volpe Hits Double Gutter to Eliminate Affleck

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante
Paul Volpe
Paul Volpe

We get to the table with the board showing {9-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{6-Spades} and according to Ralph Massey the action went Paul Volpe check, Matt Affleck bet 1,500, Volpe check-raised to 4,000, and then Affleck made it 11,500.

Volpe clicked it back one time and made it 19,000 to go and after thinking it over for 30 seconds Affleck called.

The turn was the {J-Diamonds} and Volpe bet 12,400. Affleck tanked and then announced that he was all in. He was snap-called by Volpe who had hit the nuts on the turn with his {Q-Spades}{10-Diamonds}. Affleck wasn't drawing dead, however, as he had a set with his {8-Spades}{8-Clubs}. The river was the {A-Clubs} and Volpe scoops a huge pot while Affleck will have to try his luck again tomorrow.
