Farrell Has the Goods

Level 6 : 300/500, 500 ante

Three-way to a flop of {2-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}, Niall Farrell was out of position, calling the bet of 2,500 from a player in the cutoff. The two continued to the {7-Diamonds} turn which was checked and the {8-Hearts} river ceased fire as well. Farrell smiled and said, "I win, good check," while rolling over {j-Hearts}{3-Hearts} for a rivered flush.

Frank Folds to a Lead

Level 6 : 300/500, 500 ante

Following a 1,000-raise from middle position and a flat from the cutoff, Chris Frank squeezed to 4,000 from the small blind. Only the player in the cutoff called and they went heads up to the {5-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{2-Spades} flop where Frank fired 3,000. He was called again and the turn came {2-Clubs}. Frank faced a bet of 6,600 and he asked his opponent how much did he have.

"Not very much," was the reply as it was only about 12,000 more or so.

Frank decided to let his hand go and his opponent let him peel one of his hole cards. Frank turned up a {10-Spades} and laughed that he should have shoved.

After a hand was over, it appeared as though Joseph Cheong was collecting a double up with his {k-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} beating the {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} of his opponent on a board that read {8-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} to give him a nice move up the chip counts

Benger Gets Small Value from Top Set

Level 6 : 300/500, 500 ante

Griffin Benger was in the small blind, three-betting to 4,800 after a limp from early position and a raise from the button.

Benger found a caller in his neighbor and they checked the {3-Clubs}{k-Spades}{8-Hearts} flop. Benger checked again on the {7-Hearts}, and then he called a 3,000-bet.

The {j-Spades} river filled the flush draw and both players tapped the felt. Benger rolled over {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds} for a slowplayed top set and he claimed the pot.
