Two Pair for Moorman

Mike Sowers raised to 60,000 on the button and Chris Moorman came along for the ride from the big blind. It was heads up to the {4-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{5-Hearts} flop, which both players checked. The {J-Diamonds} turn saw Moorman bet 85,000, Sowers call behind, and the dealer put out the {K-Clubs} on the river.

Moorman bet 210,000, Sowers called, and Moorman showed {K-Spades}{J-Spades} for two pair. Sowers shook his head as he tossed his hand to the muck.

Grospellier Growing

Joe Ebanks opened with the button, Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier defended his big blind, and the flop fell {8-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}. Bertrand check-called a 75,000-chip bet, and the turn was the {5-Diamonds}.

Bertrand checked again, and Ebanks bet 225,000. Bertrand called.

The river was the {6-Clubs}, and Bertrand checked a third time. Ebanks fired a third bullet - this one was worth 275,000 - and Bertrand called.

ElkY opened {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} for a pair of nines, they were good, and he raked in the pot.

You Can Take that to the Ebanks

Ben Tollerene raised to 65,000 from the cutoff and was called by both Joe Ebanks on the button and Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier in the big blind. Action checked to Ebanks on the {A-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{J-Hearts} flop, prompting him to bet 130,000. Both his opponents called and then checked the {7-Clubs} turn.

Ebanks fired again, this time 400,000, and it was enough to get the job done as both Grospellier and Tollerene folded.

Ebanks Bets Every Step of the Way

Action folded to Joe Ebanks in the cutoff and he raised to 65,000. Tristan Wade called from the button and Ben Tollerene followed suit from the big blind. It was three-handed to the {8-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{4-Hearts} flop, which Tollerene checked. Ebanks fired out 130,000, which got Wade to fold, but Tollerene made the call.

When the {3-Clubs} hit the turn, Tollerene check-called a bet of 300,000, leading to the {9-Clubs} river. Once again Tollerene checked, allowing Ebanks to bet 800,000! Tollerene gave it some thought before releasing his hand.
