Pocket Queens Are Good for MacMichaels

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

Action on the table folded around to the button player who raised to 800. The small blind player three-bet to 2,800 and Jeff MacMichaels called from the big and the button player folded.

MacMichaels called the 4,000 bet from his opponent after the {8-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{9-Spades} flop.

Both players checked the {10-Diamonds} on the turn and the {7-Spades} river was checked to MacMichaels who moved all in for 29,300.

MacMichaels' opponent thought for a minute and then glared at him before putting his remaining stack in the middle and tabled {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts} but his bluff catcher wasn't good enough as MacMichaels tabled {q-Spades}{q-Hearts} for the winner.

Tran Not Scared of McLeod's "Mom Face"

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

"This is a 'mom face'," said Michelle McLeod to tablemate Douglas Tran as we passed by her table. "You're not getting anything!"

On the very next hand, a player opened to 600 and Tran three-bet from the button to 1,200. McLeod called in the small blind, as did the initial raiser.

The flop was {9-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{a-Spades} and McLeod bet out for 1,500. The initial raiser folded but Tran then raised in position to 4,000. Eventually, McLeod let her hand go into the muck.

"Pretty big hand," she said.

"Same," came the response from Tran, his own face unmoved.

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

Robert Nadolny opened for 400 from middle position, the button player called and action folded to the big blind player who three-bet to 1,200, both Nadolny and the button player called.

Anyone Else Want to Make a Heart Flush?

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

After the player in the cutoff opened to 500, Francisco Trujillo raised to 1,700 on the button and his opponent called.

The pair saw the {5-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{k-Spades} flop and Trujillo's continuation bet was check-called by his opponent.

The turn was the {8-Hearts}. It checked to Trujillo who bet 2,400 and that was enough to take down the pot. He flashed {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts} to the rail for a flopped top pair and turned flush.

A short while later at a different table there was a {j-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{6-Hearts} board spread between two players. With around 3,000 in the middle, the first player bet 2,500 before Jon Gunter raised in position to 7,000.

His opponent thought, shuffled his chips and thought some more before calling. Gunter turned over {a-Hearts}{j-Clubs} for the nut flush and took down the pot.

Loghin vs Lima

Level 1 : 100/100, 0 ante

Andrei Loghin opened from under the gun and Ricardo Lima three-bet from late position. Loghin called and subsequently checked the paired board of {8-Spades}{9-Spades}{9-Diamonds} to his opponent.

Lima continued for 1,400 and Loghin called. French player Loghin then checked the {10-Diamonds} turn and Lima bet 3,000.

Loghin thought for a moment before check-raising to 8,000. Lima called.

The river was the {j-Hearts}, bringing four to a straight on the board. Both players checked. Loghin turned over {7-Clubs}{7-Spades} for a rivered straight and Lima inspected the board before ultimately relinquishing his hand.
