Thater and Schwartz Chop It Up

Level 3

Limit Hold'em

Katja Thater raised first to act and picked up three callers including Jake Schwartz on the button and Viacheslav Zhukov in the small blind. On a flop of {4-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}, Zhukov checked and Thater bet, picking up one call. Schwartz raised, forcing out Zhukov, and just Thater called.

After the {6-Spades} turn, Thater bet and Schwartz called before the {5-Clubs} on the river brought a straight on the board. Thater bet, Schwartz raised, and Thater called.

"I play the board," Schwartz announced, and showed the {Q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}. Thater held {K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts} and they chopped it up.

Parvizi and Leah Trade Chips

Level 4

Limit Hold'em

Iraj Parvizi and Mike Leah have just each won a hand against each other in succession.

In the first hand, Leah hit a flush against Parvizi on the river to claim the pot but sent the chips back over to his opponent in the next hand.

Parvizi raised, Leah three-bet, Parvizi four-bet, and Leah called. The flop came down {4-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{q-Clubs} and Leah called a bet. The action mirrored on the {7-Spades} turn and once again on the {8-Spades} river. Parvizi showed {7-Clubs}{5-Spades} for two pair and Leah mucked.

Suchanek and Wolff in Danger

Level 4

While Perry Friedman slowly but surely approaches two times the starting stack, George Wolff and Jan Suchanek are on the other side of the equation and will soon be in danger of elimination in the stud games with just a few big bets at their disposal.
