Josh Noy

Level 2 : Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

Alejandro Lococo opened to 7,000 in early position, and Rodger Johnson defended his big blind to see the A♦9♦2♦ flop.

Johnson checked, making the call when Lococo continued for 5,000. Both players checked through the 2♥ turn, and the 7♦ river completed the board.

Another check from Johnson saw Lococo toss out a bet of 10,000. Johnson then announced a check-raise to 25,000, earning a quick fold from Lococo to take the pot.

Table light enthusiast Jean-Noel Thorel opened to 7,000 in middle position, and Igor Picone called on the button.

Thorel continued for 6,000 on the 2♦Q♠5♠ flop — with the help of tablemate [Removed:564] to help him distinguish the chips — and Picone called. Both players then checked on the A♣ turn and again on the 2♠ river.

Thorel showed K♣7♣ for king-high as Picone rolled over 5♦4♦ to win the pot with a pair of fives.

Level 2 : Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

Eric Afriat recounted a recent hand that saw him build a big stack, after his aces beat kings and jacks.

Afriat was then involved in another hand, where Neel Joshi opened to 7,000 from under the gun and Iuri Ribeiro three-bet to 24,000 on his left. Afriat stuck in the call, while Joshi folded.

Ribeiro continued with a bet on the 3♠K♦4♠ flop, and Afriat answered with a raise to 36,000. The call was made, and both players checked the K♠ turn.

Ribeiro checked once more on the 6♣ river, with Afriat happy to check it down. Ribeiro showed 6♥5♥ for kings and sixes, while Afriat tabled 8♣8♥ for a better two pair to earn another pot.
