Wasting No Time

Level 2 : 25/50, 0 ante

As we are passing through the room there have been plenty of calls for the clock and more "seat open" announcements than we can process. It should prove to be a fun day. Here are some more faces hoping to navigate this minefield:

While we players are still filtering in at a steady pace, Joseph Cheong was heading the wrong as he was quick to hit the rail.

Open Fold

Level 3 : 50/100, 0 ante

On a {10-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{10-Spades} flop we saw the big blind check-call a 225 bet by Will Failla. The turn was the {5-Clubs} and both players checked. The river was the {A-Spades} and we didn't see if both players had checked, or no one had checked but Will Failla threw his cards in the muck before we knew it. He was in position but that didn't bother him. He didn't want to show his hand, that's for sure.

Henson Takes One Early

Level 3 : 50/100, 0 ante

A player from under the gun raised to 200, Ray Henson, the small blind, and the big blind both call.

Both blinds check the {10-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{5-Hearts} flop and the player UTG bets 450. Henson called while the big blind folded.

Henson check-called the 800 bet from the player UTG on the {9-Hearts} turn and the 1,100 bet on the {4-Diamonds} river. When the hands were tabled, his opponent held {a-Clubs}{q-Spades} and Henson won the pot with his {8-Hearts}{8-Spades}
