Denton Takes One Down

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

Preflop action folded around to Helen Denton, one of the ladies in today's field, on the button and she raised to 700.

Both blinds defended and then checked the {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} flop.

Helen then put out a continuation bet of 1,300, which was just enough to take down the pot.

Weber Bets Enough on the River

Level 3 : 100/300, 0 ante

The player in the hijack raised to 700, and Troy Weber re-raised it to 1,800 from the next seat over, getting called by the player in the big blind and the original raiser.

Action checked to Weber on the {a-Hearts}{j-Spades}{10-Hearts} flop, and he continued with the same bet of 1,800, which got a fold from the big-blind player.

The hijack player thought for a moment, shuffled his chips and then made the call.

Both players then checked the {7-Hearts} turn, and after the hijack player checked again on the {2-Spades} river, Weber bet 4,000, which got a fold from the hijack.

Arriola Sends One Packing

Level 3 : 100/300, 0 ante
Narongsak Arriola
Narongsak Arriola

Narongsak Arriola raised to 800 under the gun and the player in the cutoff called. Tim Vance came along from the button and the player in the big did the same to make it four-way action to the {3-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{a-Spades} flop.

The big blind led out for 1,500 and only Arriola called to see the {q-Spades} turn.

The big blind bet again, this time 6,000, and Arriola raised it to 16,000. The big blind called and the {3-Spades} completed the board on the river.

The big blind moved all in for his last 9,500 and Arriola snapped him off. The big blind tabled the {a-Clubs}{10-Spades} for a pair of aces, but it was no good as Arriola rolled over the {5-Spades}{5-Clubs} for a full boat.

Two Pair Is Good

Level 3 : 100/300, 0 ante

Kathleen McNeal raised 400 UTG getting called by Stephen Green and Dennis Phillips, both players sitting to her left.

McNeal fired 800 on a {7-Spades}{6-Clubs}{3-Hearts} flop. Green called and Phillips three-bet to 2,200. McNeal mucked her hand and Green called.

Green check/called the {10-Clubs} turn after Phillips bet 6,000.

Both players checked the {10-Diamonds} on the river as it paired the board.

Phillips tabled {7-Hearts}{6-Hearts} and his counterfitted two pair was still the winning hand.

Sisler's Set Saves His Stack

Level 3 : 100/300, 0 ante

We caught the action on the turn of a board reading {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}.

Sisler, the first to act, checked from the middle position, and after the player in late position bet 5,000, he check-shoved all in for about 21,000 and was called.

The players tabled their hands and Sisler saw that he had a lock on the hand and was in great shape with his top set against the middle position's two pair.

Sisler: {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}
Middle Position: {a-Spades}{5-Hearts}

The {3-Diamonds} river changed nothing and Sisler scored his double up.

Mine Is Better

Level 3 : 100/300, 0 ante

Robert Fein opened action with a 1,000 raise UTG, getting called by Terry Stuhldreher in the small blind and Phillip Youngclaus in the big.

The {8-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{7-Clubs} flop was checked around to the turn that brought the {k-Hearts}. Youngclaus's 2,200 bet was called by Fein.

Youngclaus fired 4,700 on the {10-Clubs} river and Fein called. Youngclaus tabled {9-Hearts}{5-Hearts} for a missed flush, while Fein said, "mines better" and tabled {a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} for Broadway.

Vance Stars on Broadway

Level 3 : 100/300, 0 ante

A player in early position limped and EPT Copenhagen champ Tim Vance raised to 1,100 from late position. The EP player called and checked in the dark headed to the {5-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{j-Hearts} flop.

Vance checked behind and action repeated itself on the {k-Spades} turn.

When the {q-Diamonds} completed the board on the river, the EP player bet 1,700 and Vance raised it to 3,700. The EP player called only to muck when Vance tabled the {a-Spades}{10-Diamonds} for a rivered Broadway straight.
