Juntunen Reels in a Pot

Level 4 : 200/300, 300 ante

The turned board read {j-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{3-Spades}{a-Spades} and there was around 9,500 in the middle when Reitta Seidel tapped to John Juntunen who bet 2,500. Sean Mckinley called and Seidel stuck around as well.

An {8-Diamonds} river saw Seidel tap once more and Juntunen threw in 5,000 without hesitation. Mckinley and Seidel both ducked out, shipping a healthy-sized pot to Juntunen early in the day.

Bullets Show Up for Thompson

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

The table showed 5,600 in front of both Matthew Thompson and Gawain Visagie. A {5-Hearts}{3-Spades}{3-Hearts} flop was spread on the felt and Thompson tapped the table.

Visagie announced he was all-in and Thompson snap-called for less, putting in 10,300. Both players tabled their hands with Thompson at risk.

Matthew Thompson: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}
Gawain Visagie: {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}

Rockets were sitting well in front of the big slick and the {2-Hearts}{3-Clubs} runout altered not a thing. Thompson scooped in an early double, leaving Visagie short to start the day.

Heygood Finds Ladies Early

Level 1 : 100/100, 0 ante

Michael Heygood opened to 300 from under the gun and Michael Saizan called to take a peek at the {10-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} flop. Saizan called a continuation bet of 600 by Heygood and the dealer flipped over a {6-Spades}.

Heygood bet 1,500 and again Saizan called. The board was completed with the {9-Clubs} and Heygood opted to check his option.

Saizan threw in 2,000 and before the chips hit the table, Heygood called the bet, tabling {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} for an over pair of ladies. Saizan mucked and Heygood took down an early pot.
