Fortunate River for Chidwick

Level 1 : 100/200, 200 ante

Picking up the action on the turn with the board reading {q-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}, Andrey Andreev led out with a bet of 1,100 in the big blind. Bruno Lopes called on his left and Stephen Chidwick raised to 3,700 in the hijack. Andreev called and Lopes got out of the way.

The river was the {q-Diamonds} and Andreev quickly check-called a bet of 6,000 from Chidwick who showed {k-Clubs}{q-Hearts} for a full house. Andreev flashed his {8-Hearts}{6-Clubs} for a smaller full house and passed the chips across the table.

Flush for Greenwood

Level 1 : 100/200, 200 ante

The board read {6-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} with what looked like a pot of just over 2,000.

Sam Greenwood checked his big blind and Adrian Mateos bet 1,600 from the button which Greenwood called.

The river completed the board with the {9-Diamonds} and they both checked. Greenwood tabled the {j-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} for the flush.

Vieira Off to an Early Lead

Level 1 : 100/200, 200 ante
Joao Vieira
Joao Vieira

Nick Petrangelo raised it up on the button and Joao Vieira called from the big blind. The flop came {9-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{2-Spades} and Vieira checked to Petrangelo who nearly bet the full pot with a bet of 1,300. Vieira check-raised to 5,200 and Petrangelo called.

The turn was the {5-Hearts} and Vieira led out with a bet of 8,700. Petrangelo still called and the {9-Spades} paired the board on the river. Vieira checked this time and Petrangelo wisely checked it back. Vieira flipped over {2-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} for a full house and Petrangelo showed his {a-Spades}{9-Clubs} much to the chagrin of Vieira.
