Full House for James

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante

Poker player, streamer, and commentator Bobby James opened to 1,600 from middle position and was called by the player in the cutoff.

Both players checked the {10-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{10-Spades} flop before James bet 1,500 on the {a-Clubs} turn. The player in the cutoff called before the {9-Clubs} river completed the board.

James fired out for 16,100 and the player in the cutoff called. James turned over {4-Diamonds}{4-Spades} for a flopped full house which was more than good enough to beat his opponent's {a-}{x-}

Set of Sixes for Valasky

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Juraj Valasky bet 7,500 into a pot of 12,000 on the {q-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{a-Hearts} board after the turn. Hadell Borgi raised to 18,000 before Valasky quickly jammed to 44,000. Borgi called for a good portion of his stack and players showed their cards.

Juraj Valasky: {6-Hearts}{6-Spades}
Hadell Borgi: {a-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}

Borgi was drawing dead and Valasky doubled up after a blank came on the river. Shortly after, Borgi dusted off the rest of his stack and hasn't re-entered as of yet on Day 1c.

Grassi Wins a Massive Pot with Ace-High

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

It appears like Italy's Daniele Grassi, who just began his position of Head of Play at the poker training site Pokercode might end Day 1c on a high note after winning a massive pot with ace-high as follows.

Juho Heiska three-bet over an opener for 5,800. Grassi flat-called from the small blind and the original opener got out of the way.

Grassi checked the {9-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{3-Clubs} flop before Heiska jammed for 50,000. Grassi made the call and players turned over their cards.

Juho Heiska: {k-Spades}{q-Clubs}
Daniele Grassi: {a-Clubs}{8-Clubs}

The {6-Spades} turn and {7-Spades} river blanked both players and Grassi won the hand with ace-high.
