Jenkins Doubles with Aces vs Kings

Level 3 : 100/200, 200 ante

There was a raise and a three-bet facing June Jenkins who just prior mentioned that she was yet to win a pot mid-way through the third level of the day. Jenkins four-bet shoved all in for around 28,000 and the action folded back to the player who three-bet. He made the call and the cards were tabled.

Jenkins whipped over {a-}{a-} and her opponent looked defeated after revealing {k-}{k-}. It was a preflop cooler that Jenkins found herself on the right side of. The board ran out clean and Jenkins scored a double up, leaving her opponent with very few chips.

Williams Fills Up on the River

Level 4 : 100/200, 200 ante

Whitney Brayton limped in from early position and Alfred Williams made it 900 to go on his left. Francisco Vazquez called from the big blind along with Brayton. The flop fell {j-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{5-Clubs} and the action checked to Williams who bet 1,700. Vazquez folded but Brayton called.

The turn was the {6-Diamonds} and both players checked to the {6-Spades} on the river. Brayton checked again and Williams splashed in a bet of 6,100. Brayton gave it some thought and elected to make the call. Williams flipped over {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds} for a full house and Brayton was forced to muck his cards.

Dirks Hits the Rail

Level 5 : 200/300, 300 ante

Four players headed to the flop with a little over 5,000 in the middle. The flop came out {k-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} and Hubert Dirks was first to act from the big blind. He shoved all in for 11,600 and found a call from William Bouw.

William Bouw: {a-Clubs}{q-Spades}
Hubert Dirks: {k-Hearts}{j-Hearts}

Bouw was in the lead with his trip queens but the {4-Hearts} on the turn gave Dirks a flush draw. The {9-Clubs} hit the river and Bouw held up to eliminate Dirks on his first bullet of the day.

Alcorn Lays Down an Overpair

Level 5 : 200/300, 300 ante

Heather Alcorn raised it up to 1,300 in middle position and Eric Munoz three-bet to 3,300 on her left. The button flat-called and Alcorn made it three-ways to the flop.

The dealer fanned the flop of {8-Spades}{4-Hearts}{3-Hearts} and Alcorn led out for 3,500. Munoz quickly shoved all in which got the button to lay his hand down. Alcorn was put to the test for her entire stack, just moments after sitting down. After thinking for a couple of minutes, Alcorn threw her {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs} face up into the muck and Munoz pulled in the pot.
