Brandon Temple

Level 3 : 200/300, 300 ante

As told to us by the table, a player opened to 700 from UTG, and two players called, before Jesse Capps three-bet to 3,100 from the hijack. The button called, and Sasha Liu four-bet to 13,000 from the small blind. The UTG player committed his last 8,000, and action folded back to Capps, who five-bet jammed for 25,000 effective, and after the button folded, Liu called.

Capps:
Liu:
Opponent:

Liu's aces held on a board, and she more than doubled up while eliminating the UTG player.

Sasha Liu	65,000 65,000	65,000
Jesse Capps	35,000 20,000	20,000

Brandon Temple

Level 3 : 200/300, 300 ante

Nate Patten, a traveling dealer who won a seat to the Main Event last night in a satellite, raised to 700 from the cutoff, and Jesse Capps three-bet to 2,700 on the button. Patten put in a four-bet to 5,700, and Capps called.

Patten bet 4,000 after the flop fell, and Capps called.

The fell on the turn, and Patten thought for a moment before jamming for 14,400. Capps confirmed the amount, then tossed in a chip to call.

Patten:
Capps:

Patten's bluff was picked off by the pair of nines of Capps, and the river failed to deliver an ace for Patten.

Level 3 : 200/300, 300 ante

A player raised to 1,000 from the hijack, and the button called. 2003 WSOP Main Event champ Chris Moneymaker three-bet to 4,100 from the small blind, and the hijack went into the tank. Eventually, the hijack stacked up his 24,000 chips and pushed them in the middle. The button folded, and Moneymaker shrugged, then called.

Moneymaker:
Opponent:

Moneymaker spiked a set on the flop. "Pretty sick cooler," Moneymaker told his opponent, before the turn and river secured the knockout for Moneymaker.
