Holm Pays Off Garza

Level 2 : 200/300, 300 ante

Mike Holm raised to 900 from early position, and was called by Jason Allen next to act. Mario Garza came along as well on the button, and the trio saw a {q-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{9-Spades} flop together. Holm bet 1,300, and both Allen and Garza called.

Everyone checked the {a-Diamonds} turn, and action checked to Garza on the {8-Spades} river. He bet 1,400, Holm called and Allen folded. Garza tabled {k-Spades}{q-Spades}, and Holm mucked, saying "Good hand, sir, good hand," as he did.

Lhote Cracks Howe's Aces and Sends Him to the Rail

Level 2 : 200/300, 300 ante

Richard Howe and Joffrey Lhote had their cards face up on a flop of {k-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} and it was Howe who was at risk for roughly 26,000 chips.

Joffrey Lhote: {k-Spades}{j-Spades}
Richard Howe: {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}

Howe started the hand with the best possible two hole cards, pocket aces, but he was going to need to catch up after Lhote had flopped top two pairs. The turn was the {10-Clubs} giving Howe a gutshot straight draw but the river was the {6-Spades} and he was eliminated.

Hote won two tournaments in a single day on PMU poker which earned him a $50,000 sponsorship for the year.

Efland Check-Raises Akkari

Level 2 : 200/300, 300 ante

Zachary Efland raised to 700 from middle position and was three-bet to 2,200 by Andre Akkari, who was on the button. Efland called and the flop came {a-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{k-Spades}. Efland checked and Akkari made a continuation-bet of 2,700.

"Nine thousand," remarked Efland, announcing a check-raise as he put in the matching amount of chips.

Akkari asked him to move his arms in order to look at his stack and spent close to a minute considering his options before he picked up the chip that capped his cards and used it to fling the cards forward to the muck.

"What a River!"

Level 2 : 200/300, 300 ante

Pablo Melogno opened to 700 from the cutoff and was called by the button and both of the blinds. Four players headed to the flop of {k-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{2-Clubs} and the action checked around to the {7-Hearts} on the turn.

The blinds checked again and Melogno fired out a bet of 1,600. The button called and both of the blinds folded. The river brought the {q-Diamonds} and Melogno checked this time. His opponent also tapped the table and Melogno turned over {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}.

"What a river!" his opponent shouted. "One outer," indicating that he had a better hand on the turn and a heart in his hand.
