Tsang Starts Well

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

Anson Tsang recently sat down at the table of Benny Glaser and was immediately involved in the action. On the three-way flop of {6-Spades}{5-Spades}{3-Diamonds}, big stack Thomas Johnson bet out of the big blind and Tsang called in the hijack, as did John Racener on the button. After the {Q-Spades} turn, Johnson checked and Tsang bet to pick up two callers.

Johnson took the betting lead once more on the {8-Spades} river and Tsang, as well as Racener both, came along. "I got two pair and an ace-deuce low," Johnson announced and flashed {A-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{2-Spades}. Tsang had {A-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{2-Clubs} for the better two pairs and same low to scoop three quarters of the pot, while Racener mucked.

One table over is 2015 WSOP Main Event runner-up Joshua Beckley.

Youhana Busts Pagliuca

Level 4 : 100/200, 0 ante

Sargon Youhana, JW Smith and Gerard Pagliuca made it three bets preflop and Pagliuca then moved all in for his last few chips out of the small blind on the {10-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} flop. Youhana raised and Smith called. After the {J-Hearts} turn both remaining active players checked and the {9-Spades} fell on the river. Youhana bet and Smith folded.

Youhana showed the {A-Clubs}{J-Spades}{10-Hearts}{2-Spades} for jacks and tens, and Pagliuca said "you got it" before tossing his cards into the muck. As it was all in showdown, the {A-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{4-Spades}{2-Clubs} were revealed before Pagliuca headed to the rail.

Bingham and Grapenthien Chop a Pot

Level 4 : 100/200, 0 ante

Matt Grapenthien raised in the hijack and picked up three callers on the button, small blind and big blind. On the {9-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{5-Clubs} flop, Joseph Bingham was first to act and bet, which all three opponents called. On the {3-Spades} turn, Bingham bet once more and the big blind was the only opponent to fold.

After the {6-Clubs} river, Bingham's bet once more triggered two calls and he rolled over {K-Clubs}{J-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} for a flopped straight and low with his eight-six. Grapenthien had {A-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{4-Spades} for the better low to secure a half of the pot, the button mucked.
