Fung Over Awerbuch

Level 15 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Hedley Fung raised to 13,000 from the cutoff and was called by Chad Awerbuch on the button.

The flop came {j-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}, Fung continued with a bet of 15,000 which Awerbuch called.

The turn brought them the {6-Spades}, Fung check-called the 27,000 bet of Awerbuch.

They then both checked through the {9-Diamonds} on the river. Awerbuch tabled {4-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} but was bested by the {k-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} of Fung who had flopped top pair and improved to two pair on the turn.

Another Double for Endersby

Level 14 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Travis Endersby got his stack of 106,500 in before the flop and table neighbor Harlie Jensz looked him up with the superior stack.

Endersby was at risk with the {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} and Jensz had him dominated holding {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}. However, the {q-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} flop turned things around as Endersby hit a set. He would hold onto the lead on the {5-Spades} turn and the {9-Clubs} river to double once more.

Wenjian Qiu
Wenjian Qiu

The board read {q-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{q-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} and Martin Ward bet 7,000 from under the gun. Nicholas Woodhams called in the cutoff but Wenjian Qiu raised to 53,000 on the button. Ward tanked for a while and then made the call. Woodhams folded.

The river completed the board with the {5-Hearts}, Ward shoved and Qui called with {2-Hearts}{2-} for the set of deuces which was enough to beat the {k-Spades}{q-Spades} of Ward.
