Devilfish's Ladies

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante
David Ulliott
David Ulliott

A player in late position three-bet to 1,325 and Dave "Devilfish" Ulliott made the call. The original raiser also called in early position. The flop came {9-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}. The early position player checked and the three-bettor fired out 2,200. Ulliott made the call and the early position player folded. Going heads up to the turn, the {5-Hearts} fell. Ulliott's opponent checked to him and Ulliott announced "Same.", throwing out a bet of 2,200.

His opponent dropped his stack all in and Devilfish instantly called.

Devilfish: {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts}
Opponent: {K-Hearts}{K-Clubs}

The river came up blank and Ulliott's set of queens was enough to scoop the pot and bust one player from the table.

Haxton Heading in Wrong Direction

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

A player on the cutoff opened for 450 and Isaac Haxton flatted from the button. The small blind folded but the player in the big blind cut out a raise to 2,375 and slid it into the middle. The cutoff snap-folded but Haxton fell deep into the tank. After thinking for a couple minutes, Haxton landed on a fold.

Haxton is down to 10,100.

Negreanu Sent to the Rail

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

Daniel Negreanu managed to get most of his money in preflop, covering his opponent's all in. Negreanu held {K-}{K-} against his opponent's {Q-}{Q-}. The flop and turn brought the two remaining queens, knocking Negreanu down to but a few chips. He was sent to the rail shortly afterward.

Putting Pressure on Seidel

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

On a board of {9-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{3-Hearts}, Erik Seidel's opponent fired out a bet of 2,100 into a pot of 4,100. Seidel made a raise, making it 5,000 total and after about a minute-long deliberation, Seidel's opponent moved his stack all in. Not showing any emotion and still eating his granola bar, Seidel sat for roughly two minutes before letting his cards go into the muck.

Erik Seidel is now sitting around 13,500 in chips.

Easy Game

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

A player in early position opened for 450 and Daniel Negreanu called from the button, as did both blinds.

The flop came {K-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{A-Clubs} and the first three players checked to Negreanu, who fired a 1,600 bet. All three players folded.

Negreanu is up to 10,500.

Young Slips

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

Jordan Young opened to 250 from under the gun and found a caller from a few seats over as the flop landed {A-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}.

Both players checked before Young check-called a 600-chip bet when the turn landed the {2-Spades}. With the river falling the {5-Diamonds}, Young tossed in 550 and his opponent made the call.

Young tabled his {K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}, but it would be his opponent's {A-Clubs}{9-Clubs} that would see him take the pot as Young slips to 13,700 in chips.
