Siebert Slides His Stack Over to Montgomery

Level 3 : 250/500, 500 ante
Scott Montgomery
Scott Montgomery

Scott Montgomery raised to 1,000 from under the gun and got a call from Lance Perkins in the cutoff. Sylvain Siebert was on the button and three-bet to 5,000. Both Montgomery and Perkins called.

The flop came {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{4-Spades} and all three players checked to the {3-Clubs} on the turn and then the {5-Diamonds} on the river. Montgomery reached into his stack and fired out a bet worth 12,000. Perkins called but Siebert decided to rip his entire stack in the middle, putting Montgomery to the test for his stack worth 94,725. Montgomery looked confused, but clearly had a tough decision. Eventually, he called. Perkins folded.

Siebert tabled {10-Spades}{10-Clubs} for just a pair of tens, and Montgomery tabled {2-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} for a straight to scoop the double.

Francois Billard Taking a Shot

Level 4 : 300/600, 600 ante
Francois Billard
Francois Billard

Francois Billard has had a decent summer and is looking to do some damage on home soil. The Canadian just came back from Barcelona after coming in 2nd place in the €10,300 No Limit Hold'em 8-Max event for €253,600. He battled with the likes of Ivan Luca, David Peters, Martin Jacobson and Liv Boeree on the final table, eventually falling to Goran Mandic heads-up.

Billard just booked a min-cash in the $5,300 High Roller here at Playground last week and looks to book a win in his home country.

Early Exit for Ferreira

Level 4 : 300/600, 600 ante

We got to the table as the dealer was shipping a pot over to Xiaoyu Li.

The board read {a-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{6-Hearts} and it appeared as though Jean Christophe Ferreira was all-in on the river. Li wasted no time and called.

Li quickly tabled {a-Spades}{7-Hearts} for two pair, and Ferreira was forced to show {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs} for a pair of nines.

Li now has one of the top stacks in the third level of the day.

Sawers Soars; Buswell Gets it in Dead

Level 5 : 400/800, 800 ante
Kathy Sawers
Kathy Sawers

On a board reading {6-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{4-Clubs}, with about 9,000 in the middle, Kathy Sawers checked from the small blind. Isaac Buswell was on the button and bet 5,500. Sawers called.

The turn was the {j-Hearts} and Sawers checked again. Buswell bet 9,000 this time and Sawers check-raised to 23,000. Buswell called.

The river was the {3-Diamonds} and Sawers paused before putting out a bet of 40,000. Buswell thought for a moment and eventually shoved all-in, putting Sawers to the test for her stack of 103,600. Sawers snap-called and tabled {8-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} for the nut straight.

Buswell paid the bet, and slid his cards forward, facedown. A player at the table asked to see the hand since it was an all-in and a call, and the dealer tabled {a-Spades}{6-Spades} for a pair of sixes.
