Borrero Using The Limp

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

We've seen Miguel Borrero taking as many cheap flops as he can get.

In back to back pots he saw the flop for just 150 five ways and four ways respectively. Each time a bet on the flop picked up the pot and a resulted in a nice investment.

Saul Gaining Traction

Kevin Saul went to flop with position on two opponents and the board read {4-Clubs} {Q-Hearts} {4-Diamonds}. The small blind checked, the UTG player bet 1,400 and Saul called. The small blind folded and the turn came {Q-Spades}. The UTG player bet 1,000 and Saul called a second time. The river brought the {A-Diamonds}, UTG checked and Saul bet out 6,750. The UTG player stewed for a moment and then folded his hand. Saul is above 20,000.

Saul Gets A Surprise

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

We caught the action on the turn of a {7-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{j-Spades} board with three players checking, including Kevin Saul in last position. The river was the {j-Hearts} and the player first to act bet 500 into about a 3,000-chip pot. The second player made the call and Saul threw in his 500-chip as well proclaiming, "A gift!"

The bettor had {8-}{6-} while the first caller had {7-}{2-}. Saul tabled {a-}{a-} and was shipped the pot unexpectedly. Saul now has 25,400.

Kopacz Makes a Boat

After two limpers, Stacy Kopacz raised to 525 in late position. Both limpers called and the flop came down {3-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}. The first two players checked to Kopacz and she continued for 2,050. The player to her immediate right was the only caller.

The turn was the {j-Diamonds} which brought checks from both players. The river was the {6-Hearts} and Kopacz was allowed to lead the betting again, and she followed through firing out 1,500. Her opponent made the call and she gladly showed off her {j-Clubs}{j-Hearts}.
