James Quinn
James Quinn

There were three players that saw a {a-Spades}{10-Hearts}{2-Spades} flop. Action was checked to James Quinn who bet 6,500 into a 12,000 pot from middle position. He was called by the button player while the big blind folded.

Both players checked the {5-Clubs} turn to see the {8-Spades} fall on the river.

Quinn lead out for 12,000 and was quickly called by his opponent.

Quinn tabled {q-Clubs}{10-Clubs} but it was no good as his opponent tabled {a-Clubs}{q-Spades} to scoop the pot.

Herold's Miricale Runner-Runner

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante

Ryan Herold opened for 2,000 from middle position and the button player three-bet to 5,000. Jose Pereira called from the small blind and Herold four-bet jammed for 14,100 getting called by both opponents.

The flop fell {q-Clubs}{8-Spades}{10-Diamonds}. Pereire instantly jammed putting the button player at risk and was snapped off.

Ryan Herold: {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}
Jose Pereira: {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}
Button Player: {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades}

Pereira flopped top-pair but was still behind the pocket kings of the button player and Herold was drawing to a gutterball at best.

The {j-Clubs} brought some excitement for all three players and the river fell another with the {j-Diamonds} to give Herold the triple up, while Pereira sent 17,900 over to the button player.

Level 6 : 300/500, 500 ante
Rick Chang
Rick Chang

After two initial limpers, Matthew Turner raised to 2,000 from middle position and the small blind player three-bet to 5,000.

Action was back on the under-the-gun player who jammed for 21,900 and Rick Chang came over the top sitting directly to his left. Turner mucked his hand and the small blind player called after getting a confirmed 27,500 for Chang's stack.

Rick Chang: {q-Spades}{q-Hearts}
All-In Player: {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}
Small Blind Player: {8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}

Chang was ahead with his made hand of queens and nothing changed with the {9-Spades}{2-Hearts}{6-Hearts} flop.

The {3-Hearts} turn however, brought flush outs to the under-the-gun player's hand but the river fell a brick with the {j-Spades} to give Chang the win.
