Burns Flops His Ace

Level 2 : 150/300, 0 ante

Kahle Burns opened for 750 in middle position and got a caller from the hijack before Garrett Adelstein repopped to 3,400. Burns called, as did the third player and they saw a board of {4-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{4-Spades}. Everyone checked until the river, when Adelstein bet 5,000.

Burns called and Adelstein announced a hand we didn't hear, with Burns showing {a-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for the win.

Laka Folds a "Really Good Hand to Call"

Level 2 : 150/300, 0 ante

Following a raise from early position and two calls from the players in the next two seats, the action stopped at David Laka who squeezed to 4,500 out of the big blind. Only the first flatter called and they continued heads-up to the {3-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{9-Spades} flop.

Laka fired 4,000 and his opponent tossed in calling chips. Laka barreled small on the {A-Diamonds} turn, making it 5,100. His opponent raised to 12,000 and Laka paused for a while before matching the price.

The {3-Hearts} hit the river and Laka checked. His rival moved all in for what looked like 20,300 and Laka thought for about a minute.

"I have a really good hand to call," Laka said. However, he eventually let his hand go and continued with 42,100.

Anderberg Gives Up in Four-Bet Pot

Level 2 : 150/300, 0 ante

Ludovic Geilich, who already ran up his stack to 120,000 in the early stages, opened the action to 700 in middle position. Pontus Anderberg three-bet to 2,750 from the cutoff and the small blind cold four-bet to 5,200. Geilich got out of the way and Anderberg peeled in position.

The flop was {5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{8-Clubs} and a 5,500 bet was enough to make Anderberg fold as well.

Benoit Jean: {j-Clubs}{j-Hearts}
Michael Hada: {k-Spades}{9-Spades}

The board ran out {4-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} and Jean's jacks took down the pot, eliminating Hada.
