Greenwood Avoids Disaster with a Wise River Check Back

Level 3 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Sam Greenwood opened to 4,000 from the cutoff with {A-Clubs}{A-Spades} and James Chen raised to 16,000 from the small blind with {K-Hearts}{K-Clubs}. Action folded back to Greenwood and he four-bet, making it 45,000. Chen just called.

The flop was {Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{10-Hearts} and Chen checked. Greenwood put out a bet of 15,000, a small bet compared to the size of the pot. Chen called.

The turn was the {5-Diamonds} and Chen checked again. Greenwood bet again, making it 40,000. Chen called again.

On the {K-Diamonds} river, Chen checked. Greenwood wisely checked behind, so Chen took down the pot with his full house and Greenwood avoided total disaster.

Leow Stacked by Yong

Level 3 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Ivan Leow
Ivan Leow

Ivan Leow has been throwing out big bets since the tournament started, and this hand was no different. Steve O'Dwyer opened with a raise to 4,000 from under the gun and Wai Kin Yong called on the button. Ivan Leow called in the big blind as well.

The flop was {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{6-Spades} and Leow checked to O'Dwyer who put out a bet of 4,000. Yong called while Leow check-raised, making it 20,000. O'Dwyer folded while Leow called.

The turn was the {7-Hearts} and Leow put out another bet, making it 55,000. Yong thought for a while, then called.

The river was the {5-Clubs} and Leow now moved all in for a bit more than 150,000. Yong dropped into the tank, using two time banks before he eventually decided to call. Leow showed down his {6-Clubs}{4-Hearts} but Yong had him beat and made a difficult call with {8-Clubs}{7-Clubs} for a straight. That would earn him the pot and boost him well
