Moses Takes an Early One
Level 1
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Terrance Reid raised to 400 from early position and a player in late position made it 1,300 before David Moses raised to what looked like 3,500 from the button. Reid got out of the way and the late position player called.
The flop was A♦J♦10♦ and both players checked to see 2♣ on the turn. Moses bet 3,000 after a another check from his opponent and that was enough to take the pot.

Pragel Takes a Six-Way Pot
Level 2
: Blinds 200/300, 300 ante
Jonathan Thomas raised to 800 from under the gun and Dorothy Crossman called before Walker Miskelly came along from late position. Jonathan Pragel came along from the cutoff and Katherine Hubert called from the button before Robert Richardson joined the fun from the big blind. Action was six ways and the dealer was ready to go.
The flop was 6♦7♥3♣ and action folded to Walker Miskelly for a bet of 2,500. Pragel called from the next seat over and the rest of the table cleared out of the way.
The turn was 10♣ and Miskelly checked. Pragel tossed out 11,000 and that was good enough to take the pot.
