Moon Four-Bets

Level 11 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

A player in the cutoff raised to 3,000 and action folded to the player in the small blind, who three-bet to 11,000. Benjamin Moon, who was in the big, paused before sticking in a four-bet to 28,000.

The initial raiser folded after a bit of thought and the small blind folded immediately, conceding the pot to Moon.

Marquez Shows an Ace

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Anthony Marquez opened to 2,600 from the cutoff and found one caller in the big blind.

The flop came {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{q-Clubs} and Marquez continued for 2,100 after being checked to. His opponent called.

Both players checked the {10-Clubs} turn, however, the player in the big led out for 9,000 on the {5-Spades} river. Marquez gave it some thought and eventually folded an {a-Spades} face up.

Riess Out

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

A player open-limped in early position and Ryan Riess raised to 20,000 from middle position, which constituted most of his remaining stack. Action folded around to the player on the button, who re-raised to 40,000. Everyone else folded back around to Riess, who called off to put himself at risk.

Riess: {a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}
Button: {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}

It was a race, but the {9-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{9-Clubs} flop left Riess drawing to runner-runner. The {7-Hearts} left Riess drawing dead and a meaningless {4-Hearts} completed the board, eliminating Riess from Day 1b.

Moorman Takes One Out

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

On a flop of {6-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{9-Diamonds}, Chris Moorman bet 2,000 from early position and was called by his lone opponent in the lojack position.

The turn brought the {10-Clubs} and Moorman continued for 4,700. His opponent responded by shoving for 20,700 and Moorman tank-called.

Moorman: {a-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}
Lojack: {a-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}

Moorman had turned top pair and called correctly against the combo draw of his opponent.

The {j-Spades} river bricked out and Moorman collected his opponent's remaining chips.

Song Hits Runner-Runner Boat; Doubles

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Stephen Song
Stephen Song

The player in the lojack opened to 2,600 and was called by Stephen Song on the button.

The flop came {q-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{a-Spades} and Song called a 3,500 from his opponent.

The {k-Hearts} came on the turn and Song called another bet from his opponent — this time for 8,400.

The {k-Clubs} completed the board and Song's opponent slowed down and checked, prompting an all in from Song for 20,500. Song's opponent went deep into the tank, but eventually put in calling chips.

Song revealed {k-Spades}{q-Spades} for a runner-runner full house and his opponent showed {a-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} for a flopped (but then counterfeited) two pair and mucked.
