Full House Good for Watts

Level 3 : 200/400, 400 ante

There was around 2,600 in the pot on a board of {7-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} and Steve Watts was on the button in a heads up pot against a player in the big blind. His opponent checked to him and he bet 1,100. He was then check-raised to 3,000 and called relatively quickly.

The river brought {a-Diamonds} and the big blind bet 3,500. Watts called again quickly.

"I play the board," his opponent exclaimed as he tabled {9-Spades}{3-Hearts}.

Watts showed {6-Hearts}{5-Hearts} for a full house and took down the pot

Doyle Welcomes Keating to the Table

Level 3 : 200/400, 400 ante

At the ESPN feature table, Alex Keating just sat down with a stack of 60,000 and got involved right away. He was seated in hijack against Matthew Doyle on the button, with the board reading {j-Spades}{j-Hearts}{6-Spades}{10-Diamonds}. Keating bet 3,000 with {k-Hearts}{j-Clubs}, Doyle raised to 10,000 with {9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} and Keating called after some thought.

The river {q-Spades} completed Doyle's straight and Keating check-called another bet of 10,000 after glossing it over for a minute. Doyle showed him the bad news and Keating was left with a little over half his stack right off the bat.

"Nice hand bro," Keating added.

Melten Raise Shoves On River

Level 3 : 200/400, 400 ante

On a board that read {j-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{2-Spades}, Shane Douglas bet 12,000 into a pot of aready more than 40,000. He was put to the test however as his bet was met with a raise all in by Daniel Melten. Melton had Douglas covered so it would be a decision for his main event life.

After stewing it over for several moments, Douglas folded {k-Spades}{j-Spades} face up and Melten had no interest in showing his hand as he quickly gave his cards to the dealer and pulled in the pot.

Kabrhel Stacking and Standing

Level 3 : 200/400, 400 ante

Martin Kabrhel raised to 800 from the hijack, and was called by both of the blinds.

Action checked to Kabrhel on the {3-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{4-Spades} flop, and Kabrehl asked the small blind, "Can you move your hand please?"

The small blind, whose stack was partially obscured by his hand, shot back, "No. I have 50,000, and there's barely two-thousand in the pot."

Kabrhel, undeterred, stood up anyways to confirm the player's count, before betting 1,600. The small blind quickly folded, but the big blind called.

The big blind check-called a bet of 4,000 from Kabrhel on the {6-Spades} turn, and on the {3-Hearts} river, the big blind check-folded to a bet of 3,900 from Kabrhel.

Ruiz went into the tank for a couple of minutes before deciding it was best to fold and Shevalykov scooped the pot.
