Smith Bets, Takes One Down

Level 2 : 100/100, 200 ante

Nicholas Smith opened to 600 from the cutoff, and got three callers.

Action checked to Smith on the {j-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} flop, Smith bet 1,700, and the button folded. Seth Harmes folded from the small blind, and the big blind also folded.

Smith, the former MSPT Main Event champion, looks to advance through Day 1c after busting out on Day 1a and 1b.

Segni Gets Two Streets

Level 3 : 200/300, 300 ante

Ronald Segni opened to 800 from middle position, and an opponent on the button called.

Both players checked the {a-Clubs}{10-Spades}{5-Diamonds} flop. Segni bet 1,500 on the {6-Diamonds} turn, and the button called.

Segni bet 2,000 on the {4-Clubs} river, and the button called again. Segni's {a-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} was good, and he's back above starting stack in the aftermath.

Paten Pushes Pocket Queens

Level 4 : 200/400, 400 ante

With the board reading {9-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{6-Clubs}, action checked to the player on the button. That player bet 2,000, Dantram Huynh called in the big blind, and Matt Paten check-raised all-in to 14,700 from under the gun.

The button folded, and Huynh called.

Matt Paten: {q-Clubs}{q-Hearts}
Dantram Huynh: {q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}

Huynh said she was ready to gamble, and she was looking for outs to her open-ended straight draw. The turn {3-Hearts} and river {4-Spades} brought no help, however, and Paten improved to 35,000.
