Lynskey Sends Over a Double Up

Level 7 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Four players headed to the flop with around 10,000 in the middle. The dealer fanned the flop of {k-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{6-Spades} and the action checked to the cutoff who bet 6,000. Ian Steinman called from the small blind as did Alex Lynskey in the big blind.

The turn was the {3-Diamonds} and both of the blinds checked again. The cutoff fired out another 13,000 which got Steinman to fold but Lynskey still called. The river was the {2-Clubs} and Lynskey checked for the third time. His opponent shoved all in for 24,400 which sent Lynskey to the tank.

"This is a close one," he said as he played with his calling chips. After a couple of minutes, Lynskey dropped in a call. His opponent tabled {6-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} for a set of sixes while Lynskey flashed {k-}{j-} before they hit the muck.

It was just the two blinds in the hand on a board reading {k-Spades}{q-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}. The small blind led out for 3,500 into a pot of 8,000 and Joe Cada called from the big blind.

The river was the {7-Spades} and the small blind fired out another bet of 5,000. Cada went into the tank for over a minute, looking like he was going to throw his cards away. However, Cada flicked in a chip to call and his opponent turned over {q-Diamonds}{8-Spades} for trip queens, leaving Cada disappointed in his call.

Marder's Delayed Aggression Works Out

Level 7 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Michael Marder raised to 2,500 in early position and was called by Martin Ryan in the small blind. The flop came {10-Hearts}{6-Spades}{6-Diamonds} and both players checked to the {9-Diamonds} on the turn.

Ryan checked again and Marder stuck in a delayed continuation bet of 5,000. Ryan called and the {j-Diamonds} completed the board. Ryan checked again and Marder splashed in another bet of 12,000. Ryan quickly threw his cards away and Marder collected the pot.

Lee Loses a Small Pot to Kings

Level 6 : 400/800, 800 ante

There was a raise from under the gun and Bernard Lee called from the small blind. On the {q-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} flop, Lee check-called a bet of 2,200 from his opponent.

The turn brought the {9-Diamonds} and Lee checked again. His opponent tossed in a small bet of 3,000 and Lee stuck around to see the {6-Hearts} on the river. Both players knuckled the table and Lee's opponent revealed {k-Spades}{k-Hearts} which forced Lee's cards to the muck.

A Couple of Tough Hands for Bunch

Level 6 : 400/800, 800 ante

Eric Bunch opened to 2,100 in the hijack and the button three-bet to 6,400. The blinds folded and Bunch called to see a flop of {10-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}. Bunch checked to his opponent who continued for 7,200 and Bunch check-raised to 21,000. His opponent shoved all in for around 40,000 and Bunch mucked his cards.

In the next hand, Bunch raised to 2,100 again and was called by the same opponent. Stephen Song re-raised to 12,400 from the small blind and only Bunch called.

The flop fell {q-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{8-Hearts} and Song led out for 7,500. Bunch thought for a moment and then decided to lay his hand down, as he slipped down to around 30,000 chips.

Vornicu on the Rise

Level 6 : 400/800, 800 ante

There was a raise to 2,000 from early position and Valentin Vornicu called from the cutoff along with the big blind. The flop came {j-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} and the action checked to Vornicu who bet 2,600. Both of his opponents called and the {a-Spades} landed on the turn.

Both players checked again and Vornicu doubled his bet to 5,200 this time. The big blind instantly folded and the preflop raiser also followed suit as Vornicu stacked another pot.
