Le Dusted

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante

A player in early position opened to 1,200 and was called by Tuan Le on the button and the player in hte big blind.

The flop came {k-Clubs}{7-Spades}{4-Hearts} and action checked to the original raiser, who continued for 1,700. Le went all in for his last 6,000 and the player in the big blind then check-raised to 11,000. The original bettor folded and hands were tabled.

Le: {k-Hearts}{10-Hearts}
Big blind: {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}

Le was in bad shape with his inferior kicker and the {4-Diamonds} turn and {7-Diamonds} river left the two-time bracelet winner and WPT champion second best.

MSPT Heads Back to Iowa's Riverside Casino July 23-25

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante
Riverside Casino
Riverside Casino

Season 12 of the Mid-States Poker Tour (MSPT) continues next month with the tour’s second-ever visit to Riverside Casino. PokerNews will be on-site to provide live updates.

For the second time this year, the MSPT is headed to Riverside Casino & Golf Resort in Riverside, Iowa from July 23-25 for the $1,110 buy-in, $200K GTD 2021 Iowa State Poker Championship.

A series of $70 and $260 satellites, which will begin in early July, will feed into the Main Event. That tournament will feature two starting flights starting with Day 1a at 3 p.m. local time on Friday, July 23. Day 1b will take place at the same time on Saturday, July 24, while the surviving players from both flights will return at 11 a.m. on Sunday, July 25 to play down to a winner.

The Main Event, which will be live reported by PokerNews, will start players with 25,000 in chips and play 40-minute levels.

The MSPT first visited Riverside Casino back in March when it attracted a state record 862 entries. 27-year-old Daniel Sepiol emerged victorious in that tournament to claim a career-high score of $162,750.

"I've played a lot of these tournaments and made some deep runs but never really made runs at the final table," he said after the win. "So, it feels good."

July's edition is expected to be another large affair, so don't hesitate in making your plans today.

Liebert's Stack Get Flushed

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante

Kathy Liebert opened to 2,000 first-to-act and was called by a player on the button and the big blind.

Liebert was checked to on the {a-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{8-Diamonds} flop, and she continued for 3,000. Only the player on the button called.

The {q-Diamonds} fell on the turn and Liebert fired again for 5,000. This time her opponent raised to 13,000 and Liebert tossed in a call.

The {8-Spades} completed the board and Liebert checked to her opponent, who went all in for 13,600. Liebert tanked, but eventually called and her opponent showed {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} for a flush. Liebert mucked and was left with just 6,000 in chips.

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.
