Flop Checks Through, Action Ensues

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante
Derek Schroeder
Derek Schroeder

Derek Schroeder opened to 1,500 from early position, and it folded around to the big blind, who considered his options for a moment before calling.

The {a-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} flop went check-check, and the big blind led for a single 1k chip on the {q-Spades} turn. Schroeder added two more orange chips to the mix with a raise to 3,000, and the big blind matched it in the blink of an eye.

When checked to on the {3-Spades} river, Schroeder fired again for 4,500, and the big blind called. Schroeder rolled over {a-Spades}{j-Spades} and stacked the pot.

Burns Catches Fire

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante
James Burns
James Burns

Mike Rieck just came by the media desk, telling us that he had just been the victim of a cruel beat when his turned set of nines fell to a rivered set of aces by his opponent, after all the money went in on the turn.

We went to the table and saw that it was James Burns, who started the day off with an elimination, continuing his hot streak as he stacked up the last of Rieck's chips.

"A good turn for him, good river for me!" Burns said with a smile as he now commands a six-figure stack in the early stages of Day 1c play.

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante
Maurice Hawkins
Maurice Hawkins

Maurice Hawkins checked an {8-Spades}{6-Spades}{2-Clubs}{3-Spades} board from the big blind, and Pratap Golla bet 3,600 from the hijack. Hawkins responded with a check-raise to 8,400, and Golla called.

The {k-Hearts} completed the board on the river, and Hawkins jammed for 13,000. Golla quickly folded.

Kiletto and Gallagher Both Fill Up

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante

The table folded around to Lily Kiletto, who opened the action for 800. Only Jered Gallagher called in the small blind.

A somewhat coordinated flop came in the form of {k-Spades}{9-Hearts}{3-Hearts}. Kiletto continued for 1,500, and Gallagher called.

Gallagher check-called the {k-Clubs} turn, which paired the board, after Kiletto fired 3,000.

The {3-Clubs} river added another pair to the board, and Kiletto tossed out a 5k chip when checked to. Gallagher immediately called.

Kiletto showed {a-Hearts}{3-Spades} for a flopped bottom pair that rivered the full house, but Gallagher took the pot with {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}, having flopped middle set and filling up on the turn.

Warner Fills Up

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante

A player raised to 1,200 from middle position, and Shawn Roberts called in the hijack, as did Cory Warner on the button.

Action checked to Roberts on the {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}{2-Hearts} flop, and he bet 1,200. Only Warner called.

Both players checked the {2-Clubs} turn, and the {9-Spades} fell on the river. Roberts checked, and Warner bet 4,000. Roberts called, and Warner tabled {k-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} for the nut full house. Roberts smirked and showed the {9-Hearts} from his hand before mucking.
