Weisner Chops a Pot
Level 9
: 300/600, 75 ante
Melanie Weisner opened to 1,200 from the hijack and was called by the cutoff. The button and blinds folded and the dealer got to work spreading the 
flop into view.
Weisner continued with a 1,500 continuation bet and was quickly called by her sole opponent. The 
turn slowed both players down and they checked their option to bet. The 
was greeted by a 2,500 bet from Weisner and a snap-call by her opponent.
Weisner flipped over 
for a straight to the king, and her opponent turned over 
for the same straight.

De Korver Missteps
Level 10
: 400/800, 100 ante
Pieter de Korver opened from middle position and after one player folded the next three-bet to 4,200. Another couple of players folded before Derek Dempsey, who has flown under our radar and is armed with 80,000, called from the cutoff.
The action then folded back to de Korver who min-raised to 6,500. The initial three-bettor tanked for over 90 seconds before calling, then Dempsey instantly called.
The 
flop was bet to the tune of 7,000 by de Korver, whose bet was instantly raised all in for an extra 4,000 or so more. Dempsey folded and de Korver called.
de Korver: 
Opponent: 
Mr de Korver was crushed by the set of five his opponent had made, but worse was yet to come. It was as if the poker gods were toying with de Korver as the turn and river were the 
and 
, improving de Korver to trips that were smashed by the full house of his sole opponent.

Channing Runs Into Aces
Level 10
: 400/800, 100 ante
Neil Channing had a big stack of yellows in front to signify he was going to battle preflop with his opponent. The money was all in. The good news was that Channing had his opponent covered. The bad news was that his 
was dominated by his opponents 
.
Channing would need some strike of luck to get the knockout. The flop was no help with the 
. The turn was one of the only cards that could help Channing with the . But the river was not a king but a 
.
Channing will need to change his luck or run better as he moved down to just 16,000.
