More for Hodson

Level 3 : 75/150, 0 ante

Hodson led out for 425 on a {4-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{a-Hearts} board before being raised to 1,200 by the player to his left. Action folded back around and Hodson made the call. The turn was the {q-Hearts} and was checked twice. The river came down as the {9-Hearts} which drew another bet from Hodson, this time for 2,150. His opponent threw in his cards to ship Hodson the pot. He now has 46,000 in chips.

Laha Pushes Lee off his Hand

Level 4 : 100/200, 0 ante

We caught the action on a {q-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{j-Diamonds} board with a pot worth 2,600 being contested five ways. Action had checked to Duke Laha and he had bet 2,000. Bernard Lee, who had previously checked, was the only caller.

The turn was the {6-Diamonds} and Lee led for 2,700. Laha pushed his last 7,200 in the middle and Lee thought for a bit before folding angrily. Laha eased his troubles by tabling the {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}.

Laha now has 9,300 while Lee falls to 15,000.

Danny Alvarez went to the flop with Chad Batista and two other players with the board reading {K-Spades} {7-Clubs} {J-Diamonds}. A bet from Alvarez cleared the field for him and Batista to see the {J-Spades} turn. Batista checked, Alvarez bet out 2,700 and Batista called. The river came {2-Spades} and Batista check-called 4,500.

Alvarez tabled {10-Spades} {8-Spades} for a runner-runner flush and Batista grimaced as he flashed the {K-Clubs}.
