Level 3 : 50/100, 0 ante

Shane "shaniac" Schleger recently tweeted at Tony Dunst inquiring about his choice of clothing. Dunst is known for wearing a suit to the poker table and today that suit is absent.

Dunst replied from across the room:

A player opened preflop with a raise and Amanda Musumeci three-bet to 600. The action folded back to the player and he moved all in for 3,200 total and was snap called by Musumeci. The hands were turned over and we were off to the races.

Musumeci: {A-Spades} {K-Spades}
Opponent: {9-Diamonds} {9-Spades}

The board fell {10-Diamonds} {j-Hearts} {j-Clubs} {4-Clubs} {2-Spades} and Musumeci was not able to improve. She doubled up her opponent and is now sitting on a stack of 2,400.

Kling Drives 'em Out

Josh_Cahlik

Lauren Kling opened to 300 from early position and got calls from the next to players to act. The rest of the table folded around to the big blind who tagged along as well.

The flop was {2-Diamonds} {9-Hearts} {4-Spades} and the big blind checked. Kling fired out 700 and three hands hit the muck just as quickly as they called preflop. Kling is now sitting on about 5,800.
