Picone Takes It On the Turn

Level 2 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

Igor Picone and Klas Lofberg were clashing in a big heads up pot. There were 17,500 chips in the pot on a flop of {6-Hearts}{q-Spades}{7-Diamonds}, and Picone bet 3,500 extra after a check from Lofberg. Lofberg called and a turn was added to the board.

On the {4-Spades} Lofberg checked to Picone again, who now bet out 11,500 after using a time bank extension. Evidently, this was too much for Lofberg who threw his hand into the muck.

Guilbert Loses Early On

Level 2 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
Johan Guilbert
Johan Guilbert

Johan Guilbert and Timothy Adams were playing for a pot of 17,500 on a completed board of {j-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{4-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{3-Clubs}. Adams checked the action to Guilbert, who put in half of his stack. The bet was 17,100, but Adams quickly made it double that by putting Guilbert all-in. Guilbert was apparently caught in a steal attempt, seeing as he instantly threw away his cards.

Not a good start for ''YoH ViraL'', but he still has plenty of room to maneuver his stack.
