Truong Out Pipped and Out

Level 3 : 150/300, 25 ante
Phu Truong
Phu Truong

Not quite the end of the second level and we have another bust out. Phu Truong was all in with {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} and got called by {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}. Neither had a huge amount of chips but it was Truong with the worst hand who was at risk. The dealer did the dealing and the final result {3-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{j-Spades}{2-Hearts}{j-Clubs} meant that Truong was headed for the exit. It remains to be seen whether he will buy back in.

Tepper Trapping

Level 3 : 150/300, 25 ante

Jean Tepper from France opened the action for 650 and found a call from Albert Daher in the cut-off, Ludovic Geilich on the button and the big blind. They saw a flop of {3-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{4-Hearts}. Tepper checked and Daher bet 1,600. Tepper was the only caller. They both checked the turn card {4-Diamonds} and a {j-Hearts} on the river prompted Tepper to bet 3,600. Daher raised an eyebrow and made the call. Tepper showed him {3-Spades}{3-Clubs} for the flopped set, turned full house and Daher conceded the pot. Daher may have come to play but he couldn’t beat that house.
