Weslow Back Above Starting Stack

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

Timothy Weslow raised to 1,500 under the gun, Michael Spagnolo flatted in the cutoff, and both the players in the blinds came along for the ride as well.

The flop came K♥3♦6♠ and it checked to Weslow who continued with a bet of 2,100. Spagnolo called and the players in the blinds got out of the way.

Weslow slowed down with a check on the 3♣ turn and Spagnolo elected to check back. On the 10♥ river, Weslow led out for 5,000 and Spagnolo thought for a brief moment before making the call.

Weslow tabled K♠K♣ for a full house, kings full of treys and the pot was pushed his way.

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

Kyle Dishongh raised to 1,100 in middle position, Christopher Caruso flatted in the hijack, and the player in the big blind three-bet jammed for 19,200 to put himself at risk. Dishongh folded and Caruso made the call.

Big blind: A♦10♥ All in
Christopher Caruso: 5♠5♣

Caruso pulled ahead further on the 5♥9♣2♥ flop, improving to a set. The 10♠ turn and J♠ river offered no help to the big blind and he was sent to the rail.
