Strelitz Raises River

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

We arrived at the table in time to see Daniel Strelitz heads up with an opponent on a board of {K-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}. Strelitz checked the river and his opponent let into the middle for 3,700. Strelitz came over the top with a raise to 11,600. This raise sent Strelitz's opponent deep into the tank for well over two minutes.

Eventually, time was called and the floor supervisor came over to the table. Strelitz's opponent was informed that he had one minute to act on his hand before it was declared dead. After about 30 more seconds, he let go of his cards. Strelitz was pushed the pot and now has about 26,000.

Flowers Growing

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

The flop read {8-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} and Randal Flowers was heads up with an opponent. Action checked over to Flowers and he dropped forward a bet of 1,250. His opponent quickly came over the top with an all in bet and Flowers snapped him off, rolling over {j-Diamonds}{j-Spades}. Flowers' opponent showed {K-Diamonds}{J-Clubs} and was in dire need of help to stay alive.

Flowers' jacks held through the {9-Clubs} turn and {2-Spades} river and he scored the elimination. His stack is now sitting around 23,000.

England Versus France

Level 3 : 75/150, 0 ante

Barny Boatman, winner of a World Series of Poker bracelet in 2013, opened the betting with a raise to 400 from the cutoff and Frenchman Guillaume Diaz defended his big blind with a call.

Diaz checked to Boatman on the {9-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{7-Hearts} flop, Boatman made a continuation bet of 500 and Diaz called. The turn was another nine, this one the {9-Clubs} and Diaz checked again. Boatman kept his foot on the gas and made it 1,000 to go. Diaz wasn't prepared to pay and extra 1,000 and he folded.

Also on Boatman and Diaz's table is Vanessa Selbst who looks remarkably focused — as she usually is. Selbst has slightly more than starting stack with 16,800 chips.
