Miller Scooped

Level 6 : 800/1,500, 0 ante

With a few limpers before him, Ryan Miller raised from the button. All three limpers called.

The flop came down {K-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{2-Hearts} and the player in middle position bet. Matt Glantz folded, the player in the cutoff called, and Miller raised. Both remaining opponents called to see the {6-Hearts} turn which was checked around.

The {9-Hearts} river completed the board, the player in middle position bet, and Miller called.

Miller's opponent tabled {K-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{J-Spades}{5-Hearts} for a queen-high flush and Miller mucked.

Benyamine Scoops One on the River

Level 6 : 800/1,500, 0 ante

Action was on the river with a board of {10-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{A-Spades} and over 25,000 in the middle of the table from a three-way pot between David Benyamine, Allan Le, and Daniel Negreanu. Action checked to Benyamine who put out a bet. Le made a pained face before he called and Negreanu quickly folded.

Benyamine turned over his {A-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{4-Spades}{2-Clubs} for the nut low and two pair and that allowed him to scoop the pot as Le mucked. With that pot, Benyamine moved to over 80,000 chips.

Negreanu and Benyamine shared some banter after the hand, with Negreanu claiming that he was holding {K-}{K-}{Q-} in his hand.

Woodward Quarters Nguyen; Magnus Left Short

Level 6 : 800/1,500, 0 ante

Matt Woodward raised from early position and was called by big stack Tai Nguyen in the big blind. On the {4-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{8-Hearts} turn, Nguyen and Woodward both invested one bet to see the {4-Spades} on the river. Nguyen check-called a bet and Woodward tabled the {A-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{3-Hearts} for a full house and an ace-six low. Nguyen held {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} and only received half of the low pot.

Shortly after, Nadya Magnus raised first to act and got three-bet. Nguyen in the big blind called the raise only to realize that there had been a three-bet, and he had to commit the raise to the pot with call or fold still as option. Nguyen folded and Magnus called. On a board of {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{2-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}, Magnus ended up check-calling bets on each street, but mucked when she was shown {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{4-Clubs} for a set of aces.
