Sco-Mo Starts To Go

Level 2 : 25/50, 0 ante

Canadian, WSOP bracelet winner and 2008 November Niner Scott Montgomery has reversed and ugly start here and now sits back above the starting stack.

He bet just 100 chips into two players on a {6-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} flop and got two callers. They all checked the {q-Diamonds} turn, but when the {9-Diamonds} river fell, Montgomery got active again, making it 300.

Both players folded and we can tell you confidently that Montgomery had a flush, at the very least.

Mackey Goes To Work

Level 2 : 25/50, 0 ante

WSOP bracelet winner James Mackey is moving up the ladder here in the early levels.

He fired out 150 from under the gun, only to have the button make it 350. Mackey called and the flop came {j-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{4-Spades}. Mackey check called a 600-chip bet, then both players checked the {3-Spades} turn.

Mackey then got frisky on the royal-flush completing {k-Hearts} river, making it 1,000 to see his holdings. The button passed and Mackey took it down.
