Ajayi Pays Off Webb

Level 2 : 100/200, 200 ante
Stan Webb
Stan Webb

There was three-way action with a {2-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{3-Clubs} board showing and Bruce Swart checked his option from the small blind to Dapo Ajayi who fired out 1,600 into a 2,900 pot from the big blind.

Action was on Stan Webb who raised to 4,000, Swart folded while Ajayi called and the {q-Diamonds} completed the board on the river.

Ajayi checked his option only to have Webb toss out a grey 5,000 chip. Ajayi went deep into the dank and found the muscle to call but quickly folded after Webb showed {6-Hearts}{2-Spades} for a flopped two-pair.

Peppe Wins With Aggression

Level 2 : 100/200, 200 ante
Vic Peppe

There were five players that saw a {j-Spades}{10-Hearts}{7-Spades} flop for 900 apiece and action was checked to Vic Peppe who fired out from late position.

The hijack player called and action folded around to the big blind player who tossed out chips for the call but the dealer accidentally mucked their hand.

After the floor was called, the big blind got their chips back but had to forfeit their hand and action was on the player in middle position who folded.

With action heads-up, the dealer paired the board with the {7-Diamonds} on the turn and Peppe tossed out an uncontested 5,000 bet.
