Wu Wins a Nice One

Level 6 : 300/500, 500 ante

Action picked up on the turn on a board reading {4-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds} with almost 30,000 in the middle and two players in the hand.

After action is checked to her, Tricia Wu bet out 10,000 and was check-called by her opponent. He then checked-called another 10,000 chip bet from Wu on the {5-Diamonds} river, but mucked his hand after Wu tabled {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}. As she scooped in the nice pot, Wu remarked that she wasn't so sure that her hand was going to hold on that board.

Olsen Takes a Little From Tureniec

Level 4 : 100/300, 300 ante

James Olsen raised it to 1,000 from the button and Michael Tureniec defended his big blind.

After both players checked through to the turn on a board reading {6-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{j-Spades}{3-Clubs}, Tureniec led out for 1,500 and Olsen made the call. Tureniec then bet 3,000 on the {9-Clubs} river and was again called by Olsen. Tureniec tabled {4-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} for the missed straight draw and Olsen tabled {k-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} and took down the pot, which put a small dent in Tureniec's sizable chipstack.
