A Preflop Raising War

HillKerby

Level 4 : 200/400, 400 ante

Action folded around to David Perlman on the button and he opened to 1,100. Alex Smith three-bet to 2,600 in the small blind and Perlman asked to see Smith's stack before four-betting to 7,000.

Less than 15 seconds then passed before Smith five-bet jammed, and Perlman had his stack counted to be 37,800. Perlman thought for a bit, and decided not to go with it, sending his cards to the muck instead to earn Smith the pot with his shove.

Brown Sends One Home

HillKerby

Level 3 : 200/300, 300 ante

A player raised to 1,400 under the gun and received five calls behind, four of which were Jonathan Kim, Anthony Martinez, Tomas Brown, and Kane Lai from the cutoff through the big blind, respectively.

The flop came and action checked to the original raiser, who threw his last 5,000 into the middle. Only Brown called.

All-In Player:
Tomas Brown:

The turn and river brought about some reaction from the table as Brown hit a backdoor flush to top the all-in player's queens and eliminate him from the tournament.

Soller Gets Value With Trips

HillKerby

Level 3 : 200/300, 300 ante

There was more than 4,000 in the middle on a board reading and the dealer was in the process of raking in another 1,300 from three players apiece to nearly double the size of the pot. The river came and Zach Soller bet 2,500, receiving a fold from an early-position player to put action on Nick Marchittin in middle position. Marchitti went into the tank for close to a minute and eventually found a call.
