Small Pots for Yoon and Farrell

Level 5 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Brian Yoon checked to Sosia Jiang on a {a-Clubs}{10-Spades}{6-Hearts}{k-Hearts} board and she bet 4,000. Yoon check-raised to 18,000 and Jiang thought about it before folding.

Yoon still sits on below starting stack.

Meanwhile, Niall Farrell defended his big blind and check-called 1,800 from a player on the button on a {8-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} flop. The pair checked the {6-Diamonds} turn and the river brought the {6-Clubs}. Farrell bet 3,000 and took down the pot, moving closer to 200,000 in chips.

Three players were still in the hand heading to the river with a board of {q-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{k-Hearts} on the felt. Matt Berkey and Olivier Busquet were in the blinds alongside the button with around 20,000 in the middle.

The river was the {5-Spades} and Berkey checked to Busquet who bet 12,000. The button called and Berkey dropped in the chips to call as well. Busquet turned over {a-Hearts}{4-Spades} for a straight while Berkey flashed his {5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} before they hit the muck.
