Lawler Calls Once, Twice; Three Times? A Fold

Level 15 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Daniel Brook moved all in for 39,000 from the cutoff. Jack Sandford flat-called on the button before Adam Lawler called in the big blind and turned over {10-Clubs}{j-Hearts}.

The ruling was that Lawler's cards would remain exposed and play would continue.

The flop came {4-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{a-Spades}. Lawler checked and Sandford bet 60,000. Lawler called. The turn was the {6-Spades} and Lawler checked again. This time Sandford bet 120,000. Lawler called.

The river was the {2-Diamonds}. Lawler checked for a third time and Sandford moved all in.

Lawler mulled over his options; a curious sight with his cards sat in the open. At times he looked poised to fling in the chips required for a call, others he looked resigned to fling them away.

In the end he turned his cards face down and mucked. Sandford showed {k-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} for a king-high bluff. Brook meanwhile took down his sidepot and tripled up with {j-Spades}{8-Clubs} for a pair of jacks.

Zhang Up to a Million

Level 15 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Chi Zhang
Chi Zhang

Michael Chi Zhang started Day 2 as one of the small stacks in play but has now propelled his chip-count to over a million.

In this most recent hand, Zhang was on the button and bet 32,000 on a board of {j-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{8-Spades}. The player in the big blind called and they saw a {7-Diamonds} river.

The action was checked to Zhang and he bet 105,000 into the 130,000 pot. His opponent counted out the chips to call before taking a couple of minutes to think. He eventually did call and Zhang revealed {9-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} for a straight. The big blind did not show his hand and Zhang clawed in the pot to move him above 1,000,000 in chips.

Anthony Elliott raised from middle position and James Walker defended his big blind. The flop came {6-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{10-Hearts} and Walker checked to Elliott who bet 23,000. Walker then check-raised to 75,000 and Elliott called.

The turn was the {8-Spades} and Walker bet 105,000 and Elliott called.

The river was the {5-Clubs} and Walker moved all-in for 430,000. After some thought Elliott called and Walker mucked. His {q-Hearts}{7-Clubs} was turned over and Elliott took down the pot, eliminating Walker, with {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}

Mandara Moves Up the Counts

Level 15 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Kelly Saxby was one of three players to a flop of {j-Spades}{j-Clubs}{j-Hearts}. She bet 25,000 and was three-bet by Ryan Mandara to 79,000. The third player in the pot four-bet to 150,000 and Saxby folded before Mandara moved all in.

Ryan Mandara: {Q-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}
Opponent: {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}

Turn: {a-Hearts}
River: {k-Spades}

Mandara had won the pot by the turn with quads despite his opponent increasing to a better full-house on the river.

Maria Lampropulos
Maria Lampropulos

Maria Lampropulos defended her big blind after her opponent in middle-positon opened the action with a raise. Both players checked the {j-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{10-Hearts} flop and Lampropulos placed one 25k orange chip into the middle after the turn fell the {9-Spades} and was called.

She again bet on the {3-Hearts} river, this time for 40,000. Her opponent quickly called.

Maria Lampropulos: {j-Spades}{7-Spades}
Opponent: {k-Spades}{10-Clubs}

Top pair for Lampropulos was enough to take down the pot and move her up to 450,000 in chips.
