Conrad Making Power Plays

Chris Conrad opened with a raise to 3,700 from middle position only to have the player in the cutoff three-bet to 9,700. Conrad inquired how much his opponent had behind and found out it was about 40,000 more.

Without missing a beat, Conrad announced that he was all in and suddenly put his opponent to a decision for all of his chips. Conrad's opponent mucked his hand and allowed Conrad to pick up the pot. He's now sitting on about 135,000.

More For Dorrance-Bowman

In a battle of the blinds, Dustin Dorrance-Bowman just added about 55,000 to his stack.

His opponent, in the big blind, wound up all in for roughly 35 big blinds with {6-Hearts}{3-Spades} and needed to improve against Dorrance-Bowman's {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts} to survive.

The flop came down {K-Clubs}{J-Spades}{7-Clubs} and didn't change much, but the {3-Diamonds} turn paired up Dorrance-Bowman's opponent. However, the {Q-Diamonds} landed on the river to give Dorrance-Bowman a winning pair of queens to score the elimination.

Ho Gets Value On River

We caught up to see Maria Ho and an opponent looking down at a flop of {8-Spades}{7-Clubs}{8-Clubs}. Both players checked and did so once again on the {5-Hearts} turn.

The {q-Clubs} fell on the river and it was checked to Ho for a third time. Ho dipped into her stack and came out with a bet of 7,600. Ho's opponent snap called and she tabled {k-Clubs}{Q-Spades} for a rivered pair of queens. Her opponent instantly mucked his hand and passed the chips over to her side of the table.
