Level 6 : 300/500, 0 ante
Barry Greenstein
Barry Greenstein

Three players were still in and facing a board of {5-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{2-Hearts}. There was a bet of 5,000, which Barry Greenstein upped to 15,000. The player on the button swiftly moved all in for about 30,000, which got the initial better to pass but not Greenstein who made the call.

Barry Greenstein: {a-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{3-Hearts}
Opponent: {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}

The players chopped the low pot with ace-three but Greenstein took the high with a flush.

Liberto and Harkin Clash

Level 5 : 200/400, 0 ante

The flop was out and it read {j-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{10-Hearts}. Justin Liberto bet 2,500, which Jeremy Harkin called.

The turn was the {8-Diamonds} and Liberto barreled, making it 3,200 this time. He was called once again.

The river was the {6-Spades} so a low hand was now possible. Liberto checked and Harkin bet 11,000, which was enough to set Liberto all in and he decided to pass, leaving him short, while Harkin is on the up.

Zerjav Rivers Big

Level 5 : 200/400, 0 ante

The flop was out and it read {k-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{6-Clubs}. There was a bet of 1,200, which two players called before Blaz Zerjav upped it to 7,200 on the button. Two players called but the initial better moved aside, leaving three still in on the {2-Diamonds} turn. At this point there was a lead for 20,100 all in and after a count Zerjav was the only player to make the call.

Blaz Zerjav: {q-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{9-Hearts}
Opponent: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{10-Clubs}

It was a set of aces versus Zerjav's two-way draw and the {j-Clubs} gave him broadway, putting him to almost triple what he started the day with.

Ho Chipping Up

Level 5 : 200/400, 0 ante
Maria Ho
Maria Ho

Maria Ho continues to build steadily. Just now she defended in the small blind after an early position open and two flat calls in front. The big blind came along too, making it five-handed to the flop.

It came down {9-Spades}{10-Hearts}{9-Clubs} and Ho opted to lead on the paired board, making it 800 to play. Two players called and two folded taking them to an {8-Hearts} turn. It was checks all round and the final card was the {q-Clubs}. Ho took the betting initiative once more, putting 2,700 over the line and both of her opponents folded, leaving Ho to collect the pot.
