Mark Seif Doubles Up!

One player limped in early position and Mark Seif raised to 1,000 in the cutoff seat with {A-Spades}{Q-Hearts}. The limper was the only player to call Seif's raise, and the flop came {Q-Hearts}{7-Spades}{2-Spades}. Mark bet 2,000 and his only opponent check-raised him all in. He immediately called and was a dominating favorite against the other player's {A-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}. The turn and river came {5-Clubs}, {Q-Diamonds}, and Seif's hand held up to win a pot of 20,400.

Vahedi Puffs Life Into His Stack

After a raise of 600 from a player on the button, small blind Amir Vahedi came along with one other player to the flop. The flop came {Q-Spades}{9-Clubs}{9-Spades} and all players checked, prompting the dealer to burn and turn the {A-Diamonds}. Another series of checks introduced the {10-Spades} on the river. The action was checked around once more until the player on the button seized the opportunity to fire 2,000. The bet was called by Vahedi who revealed {J-Spades}{6-Spades} which was good for a flush, crushing his opponent's ace-king high.

Fireworks On The Flop For Feldman

With four players involved on a flop of {5-Clubs}{4-Spades}{7-Clubs}, the small blind made a bet of 600 that was enough for the big blind and a player in late position to bow out before being raised by Peter Feldman from the cutoff. The player in the small blind then re-raised 5,000 more which prompted Feldman to shove all in. After a brief pause, the all-in was called and Feldman showed his opponent the grim news as he turned over {3-Spades}{6-Spades} for a straight. The player, grimacing as he revealed his {5-Spades}{5-Hearts}, saw no help on the turn as it came {2-Clubs}. The {K-Hearts} on the river sent the player to the rail as Feldman won a healthy-sized pot.

Lawson Chipping Up

Ted Lawson, a tournament pro who won a preliminary event here at Caesars earlier this week, is off to a good start this afternoon and currently sits with over 15,000 in chips.

In a recent pot against fellow pros Mark Newhouse and Theo Tran, action was checked to Lawson in late position who bet 1,500 on a {6-Hearts}{8-Spades}{10-Hearts} board. Newhouse tossed his hand into the muck and Tran made the call.

The {A-Hearts} fell off on the turn and slowed both players down, as both checked, opting for a free river card - the {Q-Hearts}. Once more, both players knuckled the felt and Lawson tabled a pocket pair of kings which were good enough to rake the 5,000 pot.
