No Valuebet by Nolton

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

On a flop of Q♣8♣3♥ Mick Nolton made it 1,600 to go and was called only by Paul Altis. They checked down the 8♠ turn and 10♠ river for Nolton to table his 4♦4♣ for eights and fours.

"No valuebet?" Paris Sitzoukis asked while Altis inquired if Nolton had called if he would have bet the ten on the river,

The table was informed they may be moved to another location if their current shuffler would keep acting up.

May Takes From Biviano

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Five ways to the 7♠4♥2♣5♥ turn, the action checked to Heidi May and she bet 1,800. Stephen Cole and Leung Ting called before Michael Biviano check-raised to 12,000. Only May called and they checked the 10♣ river for Biviano to show his 10♦6♦, which May had beat with the J♠J♦ for the overpair.

Tam Sends Healey Packing

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

"Well played," one of the players from the rail told Li Tam while another player from the table added "you didn't even see the hand".

On a board of Q♣J♣8♣5♠5♣, Tam had called the river shove by Simon Healey with the K♠6♣ only but she was good as the 4♣2♣ of Healey had been no longer good on the river.

That stack vaulted Tam near the top of the leaderboard after she had entered not long ago.

Cole Bets Out Ting

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Leung Ting defended out of the blinds to check-call a first bet by Stephen Cole on the K♥9♣3♥ flop and then did so again for 2,500 on the 6♦ turn. The 10♣ followed on the river and Ting checked once more. Cole fired a third barrel for 10,000 and that won the pot uncontested.

The same table also features Heidi May whereas Marc Cuiuli was knocked out one table over.

Chhor Shows the Goods

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Peter Patturajan checked the 10♠8♥8♠ flop from the big blind, and Eng Chhor slid out a bet of 2,500 in early position. Chris Schumann got out of the way in middle position before Patturajan called.

Another check from Patturajan followed the 10♦ turn, and Chhor continued for 3,000. Patturajan slid his cards into the muck, and Chhor flipped over K♠K♦ as he raked in the pot.

Huang Busts Healey

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Xiuming Huang
Xiuming Huang

Simon Healey bet the K♣10♣4♦ flop and was then raised to 6,200 by Xuiming Huang, which he opted to call after some confusion whether or not it was a legit raise. Huang then bet the 2♣ turn for 15,000 and called when Healey pushed for around 37,000.

Simon Healey: K♥Q♣ All in
Xiuming Huang: K♠10♥

Healey needed another club or queen to stay in contention, but the 2♠ river ended his first entry on Day 1c while Huang fist-pumped.

Check-Raise from Cameron

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Action was three-way to the K♥2♦6♦ flop, where Duncan Cameron checked from the big blind. Amir Minagar tossed out a bet of 1,000 from under the gun, and Jeremy Cleaver made the call in the cutoff.

Cameron then took some time before announcing a check-raise to 4,000. That produced a quick fold from Minagar, and Cleaver also let his hand go to see Cameron pick up the pot.
