Soluri Dominates to a Double

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

A player in early position opened to 825 finding three callers before Anthony Soluri three-bet to 6,000. The original raiser moved all-in and when the action folded around to Soluri, he called off for his last 17,500 putting himself at risk.

Anthony Soluri: {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Opponent: {k-Spades}{q-Hearts}

Soluri had his opponent dominated and scored an easy double up when the board ran out {6-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{3-Spades}.

Parting Wey With Some Chips

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

Bod Wey skyrocketed up the counts recently putting his stack to work and in the middle on multiple occasion. The last time Wey put his chips in the middle though, he got stung a bit by James Morin.

After an open to 600, four players called including Morin, only to see Wey three-bet to 3,000. It did not scare a single person off the pot, however, as all six players went to a {3-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{5-Hearts} flop.

All six players checked bringing the {6-Spades} on the turn. Wey bet enough to put any player willing to make the call at risk and Morin was the only player to oblige.

Bod Wey: {k-Spades}{9-Spades}
James Morin: {6-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}

Morin was best needing to fade any spade that didn't improve him to a full house. The {2-Clubs} landed on the river giving Morin a straight and the double up.

Kley Fills Up on the River

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

With 7,500 in the pot and a board reading {j-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}, Richard Kley bet 3,000 and called a check-raise to 6,000 from his heads-up opponent.

The {q-Clubs} hit the river and both players checked. Kley tabled the {q-Clubs}{10-Clubs} making a full house on the river and his opponent had a laugh showing the table his {a-}{j-} as his cards went into the muck.
