2016 Global Poker League Week 9

AMERICAS 6-max
Day: 1

Slow Start

We are 25 hands into this match and after the big hand between Scott Ball and Xuan Liu nothing much has happened.

Jason Mercier and Xuan Liu chopped a pot where they both made a straight.

Byron Kaverman just won a small hand with {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts} versus the {A-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} of Kitty Kuo. Kaverman fired on the {2-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{J-Spades} flop and the {3-Hearts} turn and Kuo gave up.

Although this start is rather slow, the action will develop quickly, because of the 8-minute levels. Several players are getting short stacked now.
