A Big Flop: Borden Just Outflops Vera

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

Phil Vera made it into the field and Paris Borden helped him find his way back out again.

Borden raised to 650 preflop and two players called, including Vera. The three players saw the {8-Spades}{5-Spades}{2-Spades} flop and Borden led the way, betting 1,650. The next player called and Vera raised to 5,000. Borden and the other player called.

The turn was the {k-Hearts} and Borden the action checked to Vera on the button. Vera bet 6,000 and Borden called. The other player folded and the two were heads up to the river.

The river was the {a-Clubs} and Borden went all in for his remaining 21,000. He had Vera covered and Vera went into the tank. He eventually called, saying that he needed to see it. What he saw was {j-Spades}{10-Spades}, which was good enough to give Borden the spade flush. Vera mucked his set of fives and headed to the rail.

Check It Down, Lyon Wins Small Pot

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante
Mel Lyon
Mel Lyon

Mel Lyon is approaching 30,000 and on this hand he picked up close to the minimum, as it appeared no one wanted to win the pot.

Mounir Koja started the hand by limping under the gun. Lyon called from the button and with both the blinds in, four players saw the {2-Spades}{j-Hearts}{4-Hearts} flop. The players checked the board down through the river, adding {k-Hearts}{8-Clubs} to the board.

At that point players took turns tossing out their best chance at winning the pot as if they were playing the old card game war. Lyon tossed out the {8-Diamonds}, which was good for a pair and topped the ace high that was leading to that point. Then Lyon tossed the {6-Diamonds} to expose his whole hand and he took down the small pot.

Wilt Turns a Set

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

Trent Wilt fired three times and got called three times by Brad Young. Young had flopped two pair but was no good.

The action started when Wilt and Young saw a flop three handed with Mike Fryett. The flop came {q-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{6-Clubs} and the action checked to Wilt. Wilt bet 1,100 and Young was the only caller.

The turn was the {2-Diamonds} and Young checked again. Wilt bet 2,100 and Young called.

The river was the {5-Spades} and Young checked for a third time. This time Wilt bet 5,125 and Young quickly called. Young's two pair with {q-}{10-} was not good enough to win the pot after Wilt turned over {2-}{2-} for a turned set.
