Haxton and Lamorte Battle with Raises on the Flop

Level 2 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

In a three-bet pot, Isaac Haxton was heads-up with Davide Lamorte with around 4,500 in the middle. The dealer spread the flop of {a-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{2-Spades} and Haxton checked from early position. Lamorte tossed in a bet on the button and Haxton check-raised to 7,000. Lamorte responded with a three-bet to 13,500 and Haxton called.

The turn was the {9-Hearts} and both players checked to the {2-Clubs} on the river. Haxton checked again and Lamorte thought for a moment before checking it back. Haxton tabled {3-Spades}{3-Hearts} but Lamorte held {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts} to scoop the pot.

Ace-High Enough for Sergeev

Level 2 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

Thomas Eychenne raised to 700 on the button and was promptly three-bet by Sergey Sergeev in the small blind to 1,700.

Eychenne made the call in position to the {j-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{5-Hearts} flop, before calling a continuation bet from Sergeev for 1,300.

The action repeated on the {k-Spades} turn with Sergeev firing 3,300 and Eychenne calling to the {5-Diamonds} river.

Both players checked, with Sergeev showing {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs} for ace-high with a queen kicker. Eychenne took a moment to check the board again before mucking his hand and nodded when Sergeev asked if he also had an ace.

A big three-way pot was brewing at Table 14 with the flop reading {j-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{9-Hearts} and around 24,000 already in the middle.

James Rann checked on the flop and Platinum Pass winner Antonio Hernandez Munoz bet 5,000. The third player in the hand folded and Rann called.

Rann checked again on the {q-Spades} turn and Munoz went into the tank for more than a minute before checking back. Rann checked again on the {2-Hearts} river and Munoz went back into the tank for another minute before betting all in with his stack of just under 34,000. Rann laid it down.
