Feria Forces Folds

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Brandon Feria had made it 1,800 to go preflop and was called by Thomas Willis in the small blind and Kyle Reynolds under-the-gun to see a flop of 7K9.

The action checked to Feria who continued for 1,600 and was called by both players after some hesitation from Willis.

On the turn 5, after it was checked once more to Feria, he fired for 3,300 and that got the job done as both opponents promptly tossed in their cards.

Primus Triples with Kings

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

After an open to 1,500, Benjamin Primus three-bet to 4,000 from the button and was called by Asmare Bekalu in the small blind. Then Elias Travis moved all in for around 40,000 and both players called for less to put themselves at risk.

Elias Travis: AQ

Primus was in great shape with his pocket kings as his opponents held each others' outs, but the flop of 83Q gave him a small sweat as both Travis and Bekalu made top pair, with Bekalu holding flush draw as well.

"Yeah, we would have gotten it in on the flop anyways," Travis admitted as he shook his head.

The turn and river 27 failed to change anything and Primus was awarded the pot for a big triple-up while his opponent's were left short.

Bekalu only had 1,500 chips left and wound up busting the following hand.

Nat Bluffs Salameh... and Gets There

Level 4 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

On a heads-up turn board that read 8A5Q, Yousef Salameh checked to Arish Nat who bet 5,000 into the pot of 6,500. After thinking it over for around 30 seconds, Salameh decided to call and threw out a chip to see the river fall the 10.

Salameh checked and Nat quickly checked back.

"One pair," Salameh announced and tabled 77 for a pair of sevens, but then Nat rolled over 910 for a rivered pair of tens to take down the pot, much to the chagrin of Salameh.

Valdez Has It

Level 4 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

The board read 7QQJ when Arlen Sarte led for 3,500 into the pot of around 8,500. His heads-up opponent, Juan Valdez, then raised him to 11,000, which he called after taking a few seconds to think it over.

On the river 2, the action went check-check and Valdez showed KQ for trip queens, prompting a quick fold from Sarte to award him the pot.
