Small Pot for Been

Level 4 : 200/400, 400 ante

The player in the cutoff raised to 1,000 and Aaron Been on the button three-bet to 3,300, which only the initial raiser called. Both ended up checking through the entire board of {J-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds}{10-Spades} and the cutoff rolled over {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}. Been had that beat with the {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts} and raked in the pot.

While doing so, Been added "good flop" and both players grinned.

Bicknell and Coppola Chop it Up After a Ruling

Level 4 : 200/400, 400 ante
Kristen Bicknell
Kristen Bicknell

The floor had been called on a hand involving Enrico Coppola and Kristen Bicknell. According to the table, Louis Nyberg had raised from under the gun and Coppola had called. Bicknell then three-bet from the button, Nyberg folded and Coppola called.

The dealer had then dropped and spread the deck, mixing in the folded cards. The floor told the dealer to shuffle the deck and await further instructions. When the floor returned, he explained that the pot would be chopped between Bicknell and Coppola.

The table disagreed with the ruling, and the floor agreed to check again. When the floor returned the second time, the ruling was confirmed and Bicknell and Coppola chopped the pot.

Zhou Under Pressure

Level 4 : 200/400, 400 ante

On a flop of {A-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}, Alex Komaromi in middle position and Sylvain Loosli on the button checked to see the {4-Spades} turn, which prompted Komaromi to bet 1,400 and Loosli called. The {3-Hearts} completed the board and Komaromi now made it 4,300 to go. That was enough to avoid a showdown, as Loosli folded.

One table over, Quan Zhou raised to 800 just before the blinds went up and Ryan Riess in the big blind was the only caller. The flop of {7-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{6-Hearts} brought no action and Riess's bet of 1,000 on the {6-Spades} turn was called by Zhou. After the {10-Clubs} river, Riess bet 2,000 and Zhou folded, leaving himself with fewer than 20 big blinds for the next level.

More for Nyberg

Level 3 : 100/300, 300 ante

Picking up the action on the {8-Spades}{4-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} flop, Kristen Bicknell checked out of the big blind and preflop aggressor Louis Nyberg made it 1,500 to go. Enrico Coppola called from one seat over and Bicknell also came along. On the {6-Diamonds} turn, no betting action took place and the {10-Diamonds} on the river completed the board.

Bicknell checked over to Nyberg, who bet 7,000. Coppola quickly folded and Bicknell came to the same conclusion.

Soon after the hand was over, the one empty seat on the table was filled and Shannon Shorr sat down, Matthew Moss has also re-entered after having busted previously.
