Chan Trends Downwards

One of the first post-break hands was played between Terrence Chan and Mike Schneider. Chan opened pre-flop, then was the only player to call Schneider's three-bet. Chan checked and called a bet on the {10-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{a-Hearts} flop, then checked and called again on the {5-Spades} turn. When Schneider bet after Chan checked the {q-Hearts} river, Chan finally decided to fold.

Tate Can't Win Every Pot

Brian Tate has been playing well and running good in the first few levels, but even he can't win every pot. He was in the blinds an called a pre-flop raise from Ben Yu. Yu fired every street, {4-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}. Tate checked and called every bet, including the last, but had to muck his hand when Yu sh owed {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs} for two pair, queens and fours.

Chan Heading in the Wrong Direction

Jonathan Little raised and Terrence Chan reraised from the button. The blinds folded and Little made the call as the flop came {J-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}. Little checked, Chan bet and Little raised.

After Chan made the call the {10-Diamonds} was put out on the turn. Little bet and Chan called. The same happened when the {4-Clubs} hit the river. Little showed {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs} and Chan mucked. Chan is down to 270,000.

Maal Uncontested

Sijbrand Maal has been struggling so far but he got a few chips back off o Joseph McGowan. Maal opened with a raise from middle position that McGowan three-bet from the button. Maal called, then checked and called another bet on an ace-high flop, {q-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{3-Diamonds}. Both players checked the {4-Spades} turn, leading Maal to fire out on the {9-Clubs} river. McGowan opted to fold.
