Lewis Check-Raises Hennigan On River

Level 4 : 300/600, 100 ante

From under the gun, John Hennigan raised to 1,500. Juston Bonomo called from the cutoff seat and Toby Lewis called from the big blind. The three players took the {K-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} flop and action checked around.

Play also checked around on the {8-Hearts} turn that paired the board before the dealer placed the {Q-Hearts} on the river. Lewis checked and Hennigan bet 3,300. Bonomo folded and Lewis took some time. After a minute or so, Lewis check-raised to 9,500. Hennigan quickly folded and Lewis won the pot.

Flush for Mercier

David Steicke raised and Jason Mercier three-bet. The bet sizes were unknown, but Steicke called and the flop came down {7-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{3-Spades}. Steicke checked and Mercier bet 3,500. Steicke called.

The turn was the {4-Diamonds} and both players checked to see the {2-Diamonds} fall on the river. Steicke checked and Mercier announced a bet of 14,000 before tossing out a green T25,000 chip. Steicke called after a minute of thought.

Mercier showed the {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} for a flush and Steicke mucked his hand.
