Action Starting to Pick Up

Now that we're about two levels in, we're starting to see some action. Allie Prescott and Liv Boeree tangled. We picked up the action on the turn, the board showing {8-Clubs} {K-Hearts} {2-Spades} {5-Clubs}. With 4,200 already in the pot, both players checked. Boeree led out for 2,100 on the river {10-Spades}. Prescott smirked as if he knew he was about to make a bad call, then made it anyway. Boeree showed top set, {K-Diamonds}{k-Spades}. Prescott flashed {A-Clubs} {K-Clubs}.

At a different table in the Orange Section, JC Alvarado was all in preflop with {A-Clubs} {K-Hearts} against John Juanda's {9-Hearts} {9-Diamonds}. Alvarado made aces and kings on a board of {A-Spades} {Q-Diamonds} {7-Clubs} {Q-Spades} {K-Clubs} to double up. He's up to 7,300 while Juanda is down to 4,150. Neither has any rebuy buttons in his stack.
