Small Pot for MacPhee

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

Luca Pagano is in today's field and Darryl Fish also just walked in to take his seat between Kevin MacPhee and Seamus Cahill with Ryan Riess in the one seat of the very same table. Fish joked "this is gonna be a great hand" when MacPhee raised to 300 from the small blind and Fish called.

On the flop {9-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{3-Spades}, MacPhee check-called a bet of 350 before they checked the {Q-Diamonds} on the turn. MacPhee's bet of 600 on the river {9-Clubs} was called and the American announced a seven before revealing {K-Spades}{7-Clubs} as winning hand.

Gustavson on Board

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

The name Aaron Gustavson may not ring a bell to many people, mainly because the American hasn't played many live tournaments lately, but Gustavson is a former Main Event champion on the European Poker Tour. In 2009, he defeated a field of 730 participants to scoop the title of EPT9 London for a payday of £850,000.

After four-betting pre-flop Vladas Tamasauskas, check-called a bet of 2,400 from his opponent Bjorn Geissert on a flop of {j-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}. He did the same when the {k-Hearts} rolled off on the turn.

The river was the {8-Diamonds} completing the flush, and Tamasauskas checked for a third time, only this time his opponent checked behind him. Tamasauskas tabled {a-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} for a flush, beating the {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} of Geissert.

Zisimopoulos Thriving

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

PokerStars online qualifier Dex de Jong faced a raise to 300 and a call by Andrew Leathem before three-betting to 900 out of the big blind. Initial raiser Jeremy Nock as well as Leathem called to see the flop {A-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{4-Spades} and de Jong bet 1,400. Nock called, Leathem folded. Both remaining players checked the {5-Hearts} turn before the {J-Spades} river saw a check-fold by de Jong.

"You had kings?" Nock asked and de Jong replied with a "close." The Dutch is down to almost half the starting stack whereas Georgios Zisimopoulos at the very same table is loaded.
