Wang Gets Value from a Set

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha

Michael Wang raised it up to 2,400 from under the gun and was only called by the hijack. The flop came {6-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{3-Diamonds} and both players checked to the {9-Diamonds} on the turn and the {10-Diamonds} on the river.

Wang finally tossed in a bet of 4,600 and his opponent briefly thought before making the call. Wang turned over {k-Spades}{j-Clubs}{6-Spades}{6-Clubs} for a set of sixes and his opponent mucked.

Tilly's opponent checked again and she quickly fired out another bet of 6,000. This time her opponent tossed his cards away and Tilly dragged in the pot.

Taylor Gets After It on Second Bullet

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante
Esther Taylor
Esther Taylor

Esther Taylor just joined her new table after her first bullet didn't go quite the way she was hoping. In her first hand, she made it 2,000 to go in the cutoff and was called by two players.

The flop came {k-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{2-Spades} and the action checked around to the {j-Spades} on the turn. The big blind led out for 5,500 and was called by the player in middle position. Taylor also called and the {3-Spades} completed the board.

The action checked to Taylor who pushed all in for 24,000, just less than the pot, despite the dealer announcing the size of the pot and not Taylor's bet. The big blind instantly folded but her other opponent thought for a minute but also came to the same decision, allowing Taylor to scoop the pot.

Leming Doubles Up

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante

No-Limit Hold'em

Ryan Leming started the action off by raising to 1,300 in early position, the player two to his left called and the big blind defended.

The flop came {9-Hearts}{8-Spades}{6-Diamonds}, the big blind checked, Leming moved all of his chips in the middle for 16,100. The player in the middle folded, and the action was back to the big blind,

"That's a big bet, why so much?" he said.

After about a minute in the tank, the big blind called and both hands were tabled.

Ryan Leming: {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}
Big blind: {9-Clubs}{3-Spades}

Leming was in the lead with a pair of tens, the turn {7-Spades} locked up his win, and the {9-Spades} improved his opponent to trips but it wasn't good enough to beat Leming's turned straight.
