Lybaert Needs to Reenter

Level 7 : 200/400, 50 ante
Bart Lybaert
Bart Lybaert

Bart Lybaert had three-bet to 2,500 after his opponent on his direct right had raised. The other player called.

The flop came {k-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}. Lybaert continued with a bet of 2,500 for his opponent to call again.

The turn brought them the {9-Diamonds}. Lybaert's opponent check-snap-called Lybaert's shove of 9,000.

Bart Lybaert: {Q-Hearts}{9-Hearts}
Opponent: {K-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

Lybaert had turned a pair of nines. His opponent had flopped two pair, though. The {2-Spades} on the river didn't help Lybaert in any way and he made his way to the cashier to reenter one more time today.

Sometimes Just a C-Bet Will do

Level 7 : 200/400, 50 ante

Heidi May's fortunes have improved significantly over the last couple of levels. She just took another pot with a flop continuation, taking her up to 32,300.

Meanwhile, it was a similar situation for Kenny Hallaert. After Hallaert opened preflop, the flop was {4-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}, and once again, a continuation-bet was good enough to win the pot. He stays steady on 44,500.

Level 7 : 200/400, 50 ante

Michael Gagliano raised to 1,000 from the hijack. The player in the small blind called. Vojtech Ruzicka looked at both of their stacks and then decided to put them both all in. Gagliano folded instantly. The player in the small blind checked his cards once more and then folded.

"Show the eights," he said to Ruzicka.

Ruzicka looked at his cards again, tabled {8-Clubs}, and then added the pot to his stack.
