England Calls Correctly

Level 6 : 300/600, 600 ante
Kyna England
Kyna England

A small pile of chips was in the middle with a completed board of {q-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{5-Spades} and action was heads up between Kyna England in the small blind and an opponent, who was under the gun.

England had checked and was facing a bet of 5,500. She took roughly half a minute to consider her options before reluctantly calling.

The under-the-gun player tabled {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades} for ace-king high and England showed {8-Clubs}{7-Clubs} to win the pot with a pair of eights.

Banhidy Doubles

Level 7 : 400/800, 800 ante

There was about 12,000 in the middle on a flop of {3-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} with three players in the hand. Action checked to Penelope Banhidy who went all in for 25,800. The hijack folded and the big blind made the call.

Big Blind: {j-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}
Penelope Banhidy: {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}

Banhidy needed to improve and was able to find help on the {q-Spades} turn. The river {9-Clubs} came clean for Banhidy and she found the double.

Stefan Needs No Showdown

Level 7 : 400/800, 800 ante
Sarah Stefan
Sarah Stefan

There was 5,000 in the center with four-way action on a flop of {j-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{7-Hearts} and Sarah Stefan was first to act in the small blind. She checked, as did the big blind and under-the-gun player, before the final player bet 4,500 from early position. Only Stefan called.

Action was then heads up to the turn {8-Spades}, where Stefan check-called another 5,000. The river fell {10-Spades} and Stefan placed a bet of 18,000 softly onto the felt in front of her. Her opponent went into the tank for nearly a full minute and then let his hand go, earning Stefan the pot.

Hennig Delivers a Dusting

Level 7 : 400/800, 800 ante
Matt Hennig
Matt Hennig

Matt Hennig was just involved in a hand in which all of the chips went into the middle on a flop of {4-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}. Hennig was in middle position and had his opponent, who was under the gun, at risk.

All-In Player: {7-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}
Matt Hennig: {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}

Hennig's opponent had flopped a flush but his nut flush draw was still plenty alive. The turn {j-Diamonds} flipped the tables, leaving his opponent with just one out to a gutshot straight flush to stay alive. The one outer did not come as the river {8-Hearts} fell and Hennig collected the knockout with his pocket aces.
