Byrne Splits the Pot

Level 3 : 100/200, 25 ante

Daiva Byrne raised to 400 from the early position and was called by John Robert on the button and Colin Good in the small blind.

The flop came {10-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{4-Hearts}, Good check-called the 500 continuation-bet of Byrne and Robert also called.

The turn was the {10-Diamonds} and they all checked through it to see the {k-Spades} complete the board on the river. They all checked again, Good hesitated in showing his cards even though he was supposed to show first, Byrne tabled {a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} for the two pair with the king-kicker on the board. Good mucked his cards, Robert quickly flipped over {a-Spades}{7-Diamonds} for the same two pair and kicker on the board to split the pot. Good tried to retrieve his cards from the muck to check his cards again but then decided against it.

Borg Lets Go

Level 3 : 100/200, 25 ante

The flop read {8-Spades}{2-Spades}{4-Spades} and Rokas Barzdzius checked his big blind, Nadav Lipszyc bet 650 from under the gun and Ronni Borg called on the button while Barzdzius folded.

They both checked through the {a-Hearts} on the turn to the {6-Hearts} on the river. Lipszyc bet 2,200 and Borg reluctantly folded.
