Technical Issues

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

The PokerStars software seems to have run into some technical issues as all the action seems to be frozen for now. Once more information has been released, PokerNews will post about it too.

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante
Habara2707 vs  JJ_QQ_KK_A47

"TomKO07" raised to 600 from the early position and "JJ_QQ_KK_A47" called on the button. "Habara2707" opted to defend their big blind.

The flop came {5-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}, "TomKO07" continued with a bet of 1,050 for "JJ_QQ_KK_A47" to raise to 5,250. "Habara2707" shoved with the bigger stack for only "JJ_QQ_KK_A47" to make the call for the 59,192 they had behind.

"JJ_QQ_KK_A47": {5-Clubs}{4-Clubs}
"Habara2707": {a-Spades}{3-Diamonds}
