Guthrie then checked the {2-Hearts} turn and Margets on the button made it 5,100 to go. That ended up winning the pot without further resistance, as Guthrie quickly folded.

Strelitz Hits a One-Outer

Level 1 : 75/150, 0 ante
Daniel Strelitz
Daniel Strelitz

A tweet of Daniel Strelitz about a double up with a one-outer alerted us to have a look at his table that also features Nick Jivkov and Strelitz was involved right away in another big pot. Prior to his double up he had lost some chips and, according to Strelitz, doubled with a one-outer thanks to a five on the river:

Just now, Alexander Krisak raised to 500 and Strelitz from one seat over in the cutoff three-bet to 1,500, Krisak called. The flop came {K-Spades}{K-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} and Krisak check-called a bet of 1,000 before check-calling another 3,000 on the {3-Clubs} turn. The {J-Clubs} fell on the river and Krisak checked once more. Strelitz bet 11,500 and received a call to roll over the {K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts} for a flopped full house.

Brian Yoon has been off to a decent start after making a few good calls and betting at the right moments.

Yoon quickly called, his opponent flipped over {5-Spades}{6-Spades} for a missed straight draw and Yoon tabled {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds} for nines up, taking down the pot.
