Edwards Wins With Full House

Level 3 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Four ways on a flop of {8-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{4-Clubs}, Shane Edwards bet 1,300 from the big blind and was called by a lone opponent in early position. Everyone else folded.

The turn brought the {6-Clubs} and Edwards check-called a 2,000 bet from his opponent.

Edwards checked dark before the {5-Hearts} river came and his opponent checked back. Edwards tabled {8-Hearts}{5-Hearts} for a rivered full house, which was good against the {9-Spades}{7-Spades} of his opponent for the pot.

Weng Doubles

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Bin Weng
Bin Weng

Action folded around to the blinds, where the player in the small raised to 1,200. Bin Weng re-raised from the big blind and his opponent quickly went all in to put Weng in for his last 24,600. Weng called and hands were revealed.

Bin Weng: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}
Small blind: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}

The {5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{2-Spades}{2-Clubs} ruonout kept Weng best with his cowboys and he doubled up.

Weng, who just recently won a $5,300 Borgata event, will be looking to make another deep run in this event.
