Farrell Over Seiver

Level 1 : 100/200, 25 ante

We found Scott Seiver and Niall Farrell looking down at a flop of {3-Hearts}{A-Hearts}{k-Spades}. With a sizable pot of 8,500 already in the middle, Seiver came out firing for 2,600. Farrell called and the {4-Spades} fell on the turn. Seiver reached for chips once again, this time moving 6,500 into the table's center.

Farrell thought for a moment before flinging out a call. The {7-Clubs} hit the river, prompting Seiver to slow with a check. Farrell took this opportunity to bet 15,200. Seiver quickly folded and Farrell took down the pot.

Bongard Bets Out Chidwick

Level 1 : 100/200, 25 ante
Samuel Bongard
Samuel Bongard

Samuel Bongard opened with an under-the-gun raise only to have Stephen Chidwick three-bet the action to 1,500 from the next seat over. Action folded to Sergio Aido in the big blind and he flatted the three-bet. Bongard opted not to call, but rather to cut out a four-bet to 4,125. Chidwick called and Aido came along for the ride as well.

The trio saw a {9-Hearts}{A-Hearts}{9-Spades} flop hit the felt. Aido checked to the raiser and Bongard continued out for 5,600. Chidwick called, Aido folded, and the two were left heads up to fourth street. The dealer produced the {3-Spades} on the turn and Bongard bet 9,000. Chidwick thought for about a minute before deciding to release his cards. Bongard was awarded the pot and the live satellite winner now sits with about 64,000.

Two in a Row for Riess

Level 1 : 100/200, 25 ante

From under the gun, Max Silver raised to 600. Mohsin Charania called from the small blind, and then Ryan Riess reraised to 2,800 from the big blind. Silver called, and Riess folded.

The flop was {10-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{2-Hearts}, and both players checked to see the {3-Hearts} land on the turn. Riess bet 2,200, Silver called, and the river was the {10-Spades} to pair the board. Riess led for 5,000, and Silver tank-folded.

Then on the next hand, John Racener opened to 600 from the cutoff seat, Riess called from the small blind, and Silver called from the big blind.

On the {A-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} flop, all three players checked. The turn was the {5-Spades}, and Riess led for 800. Silver and Racener folded, giving Riess the pot.
