The flop showed {q-Clubs}{10-Spades}{7-Hearts} and Isaac Friese pushed for around 7,000. Hieu Dang was the lone caller, cards hit their back and Friese was at risk.

Isaac Friese: {j-Hearts}{9-Hearts}
Hieu Dang: {k-Spades}{j-Diamonds}

Both players hit the {j-Clubs} turn but Dang had Friese outkicked. The {10-Clubs} river sealed it for Dang who pulled in the pot with his king kicker, dropping Friese from the table.

Bonu Starts Pulling Chips Early

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante
Andrew Bonu
Andrew Bonu

Andrew Bonu has taken a seat here in Day 1c and has already taken down a few pots. In the latest hand he opened to 1,500 and only Darrin Wright called to see the {k-Spades}{7-Spades}{4-Hearts} flop with Bonu.

Wright check-called a bet of 1,000 from Bonu and the {4-Spades} peeled off as a turn card. Both players checked through to the {10-Clubs} river where Wright bet 1,000.

Bonu swiftly piled up a stack of 13,000 and pushed it into the middle. Wright took a brief moment but ultimately, he threw his cards into the muck and Bonu collected another early pot.

Connolly Extracts One Before Break

Level 4 : 200/300, 300 ante

The flop showed {j-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{2-Hearts} and there was around 5,000 in the pot when action was checked to Darrin Wright who bet 1,800. Alexander Connolly called and a player in the small blind stuck around as well to see the {2-Clubs} turn card.

Wright saw action fall on him once more, he elected to bet 8,300 and again was called by both opponents. The {9-Hearts} river brought the action to a halt as all three tapped the table.

Connolly tabled {a-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} for a flopped johnnie and it scooped the pot when his opponents chucked their hands into the muck.
