Ali Takes One

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

Over on the feature table, Aaron Li raised to 250 from the button and Mohamed Ali called in the small blind.

The flop came {8-Spades}{q-Clubs}{7-Spades}, Ali check-called the 150 continuation-bet of Li.

They then both checked through the {8-Clubs} on the turn and the {2-Spades} on the river for Ali to claim the pot when the cards were shown.

Sitbon Claims One

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

The flop read {4-Hearts}{q-Spades}{6-Hearts} with 1,000 in the middle already.

Julien Sitbon checked in the small blind and so did the players in the big blind and hijack. The player in the cutoff bet 500 and action was back on Sitbon who raised to 1,600. The big blind and hijack quickly folded and the player in the cutoff made the call.

The turn brought them the {6-Spades}, Sitbon now fired a bet of 2,600 over the line. His opponent took a few seconds and then opted to fold.
