Level 3 : 75/150, 0 ante

Catching the action on the {2-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} flop, three players committed 300 to see the {7-Diamonds} land on the turn.

Daiva Byrne checked from the small blind before the big blind bet 1,100 and the button folded. Byrne called, and the river of the {8-Diamonds} went check, check.

Byrne tabled her {6-Diamonds}{5-Spades} for a straight, and the big blind mucked.

Rauno Tahvonen On the Down

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

Rauno Tahvonen opened in late position to 250 and Phil Laak called next to act in the hijack. The player in the cutoff three-bet to 750, and the button called, as did Tahvonen and Laak.

The flop landed {Q-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}, and a bet of 2,650 from the cutoff was enough to prompt a series of folds, and send Tahvonen down to 12,850, while Laak took a loss on the first pot he played.

Kicker Problems for Charlotte Van Brabander

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

The action folded round to Charlotte Van Brabander on the button, and she opened to 225. Her opponent in the small blind called, as the dealer spread a {J-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} flop.

Van Brabander continued for 300 and her opponent called as both players checked down the {6-Clubs} and {3-Clubs} on the turn and river.

Van Brabander tabled her {A-Hearts}{4-Clubs} for ace-high, but it would be her opponent's {A-Spades}{Q-Clubs} that would see him collect the pot.

Flush for Robert Gouldin

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

Michael Hack opened to 250 and there was a call in the cutoff before Robert Gouldin called on the button, along with Jeff Sluzinski in the big blind.

All four players checked the {9-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{4-Hearts} flop as the {K-Diamonds} landed on the turn. The action checked round to Gouldin who bet 500 and only Hack called as the river landed the {A-Spades}.

Hack checked, Gouldin bet out 2,000, and Hack called. Gouldin tabled his {A-Hearts}{3-Hearts} for the nuts, and Hack mucked.

Full House for Espen Jorstad

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

From the cutoff, Unibet Ambassador Espen Jorstad opened the action with a raise to 275.

The action folded to the player in the big blind, and he three-bet to 800. Jorstad called, and the flop landed {8-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{8-Spades} with the big blind continuing for 650.

Jorstad called, and then both players checked the {8-Diamonds} on the turn before the {7-Spades} completed the board on the river.

The big blind bet out 1,125 and Jorstad snap-called.

The big blind tabled his {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}, but it would be Jorstad's {A-Hearts}{K-Spades} that would see him collect the pot and move back to starting stack.
