Ho Closes In On 70k

Level 6 : 150/300, 25 ante

Carlos Mortensen opened to 800 and both Maria Ho and James Akenhead made the call along with an unknown player.

The action was checked to Ho on the {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}{10-Hearts} flop, and she opted to fire out 1,450 which only the unknown player called.

The turn of the {9-Spades} saw Ho's 3,250-chip bet force a fold from her opponent as she moved to 67,000 in chips.

Dwan Sent to Rail Just in Time for Dinner

Level 6 : 150/300, 25 ante

On a flop reading {6-Clubs}{9-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}, four players checked to see a turn, including Dwan, who was in the cutoff.

The turn brought a {6-Spades}, and it was checked to a player in middle position, who bet 2,100. Dwan called and the others folded.

The river came the {A-Spades} and Dwan's opponent bet 15k, which was enough to put Dwan all in. Durrrr looked unhappy, but landed on a call. His opponent revealed {Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs} for queens-full. Dwan mucked his hand and headed for the rail.

Robert Croak(s)

Level 7 : 200/400, 50 ante

John Dolan entered the pot for 1,000 and found a call before Robert Croak moved all in for 2,775 from the cutoff.

With the action on Christian Harder, he four-bet to 4,900 only to have Dolan respond by moving all in. The cold-caller folded, as did Harder before the cards were placed on their backs.

Dolan: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}
Croak: {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}

The board was spread {A-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{10-Spades} to see Croak bite the dust as Dolan moves to roughly 45,000 in chips.

Nanonoko Hanging in There

Level 7 : 200/400, 50 ante

Randy "nanonoko" Lew has been unable to get any momentum going so far, instead hovering around his starting stack of 15,000.

In a recent pot, Lew raised from early position and got one caller from the big blind. The flop ran out {A-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{5-Hearts} and the player in the big blind check-called nanonoko's bet of 1,500.

The turn brought a {J-Diamonds} and this time the big blind player check-folded a 3,000 bet from Lew, who has chipped up to 14,500.
