Valdes Is Goin' To Broadway

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Cat Valdes
Cat Valdes

A player raised to 2,000 from the lojack, and Cat "catrific" Valdes three-bet to 4,600 on the button. Her opponent thought for a moment, then tossed in a call.

The {q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds} flop hit the felt, and the lojack checked. Valdes tossed in a bet of 4,000, and her opponent flashed the {a-Hearts} before folding. Valdes turned over {a-Spades}{j-Clubs} for a flopped Broadway straight before bringing in the pot.

Schoonbaert Rivers Cota

Level 7 : 400/800, 800 ante
Ryan Schoonbaert
Ryan Schoonbaert

Adin Cota found himself all in for his last 20,000 from the big blind on a {3-Spades}{10-Hearts}{5-Clubs} flop, and Team partypoker Online pro Ryan Schoonbaert had him at risk on the button.

Cota: {a-Diamonds}{5-Spades}
Schoonbaert: {6-Clubs}{7-Hearts}

Schoonbaert's outs improved when the {8-Clubs} hit the turn, giving him an open-ended straight draw and two overs to Cota's pair of fives. The {6-Hearts} river paired up Schoonbaert, and he scooped up the remainder of Cota's chips.

Mazza Jams on Lagodich

Level 7 : 400/800, 800 ante
Mark Mazza
Mark Mazza

Mark Mazza raised to 1,800 from middle position and Frank Lagodich called from the hijack. Sasha Liu came along from the button and the player in the big blind called to make it four-way action to the {a-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds} flop.

The player in the big blind checked and Mazza continued for 4,400. Lagodich called, the other two players folded, and the dealer burned and turned the {7-Clubs}.

Mazza, who had the bigger stack, moved all in and Lagodich, who had 17,000 behind, preserved his chips with a fold.
