Gathy on a Good Start

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

In a raised pot and with a board showing {6-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{q-Spades}, a player bet 225 and Michael Gathy called.

The {q-Hearts} fell on the turn and Gathy called once more, this time a bet of 525. The initial raiser checked on the {9-Diamonds} river and, after some thought, Gathy fired 2,000. He collected the pot without any resistance.

The Belgian player now has a stack of around 18,000.

Maurice Hawkins

Maurice Hawkins had already lost a third of his stack when he got in a big pot with his right neighbor.

The player on seat one raised to 150 and Hawkins threw in 325 with the speed of light. When it folded back to the one-seat, he raised it to 1,300 and Hawkins called.

The flop was {8-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{10-Hearts} when Hawkins' opponent bet 2,100 and Hawkins pushed all in for 4,025 total. He got called and was ahead with {Q-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} against {A-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}.

The board ran out {6-Spades} {5-Diamonds} and Hawkins doubled up.

Bad Start for Barbero

Level 1 : 25/50, 0 ante
Jose Nacho Barbero
Jose Nacho Barbero

On a board showing {k-Diamonds}{6-}{8-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}, Nacho Barbero check-raised all-in a bet worth 1,900 from his opponent. The latter snap-called with a stack of 5,500 left.

Nacho Barbero: {k-Hearts}{8-Hearts}
His opponent: {7-Clubs}{5-Clubs}

With his two pairs facing a straight, Barbero was in bad shape and the {9-Diamonds} river didn't change anything.
