McMillen Doubles Up

Level 2 : 200/300, 300 ante

There was about 7,000 in the middle already and Ron McMillen had just 12,700 behind. He managed to get his chips in the middle on the {a-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} flop with {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds} against the {a-Spades}{q-Clubs} of his opponent.

The turn was the {j-Spades} and the river the {k-Clubs} and McMillen secured a double up to give him over 100 big blinds again.

Polk vs. Lunkin

Level 2 : 200/300, 300 ante

Doug Polk opened to 700 in the hijack and Vitaly Lunkin three-bet to 2,800 in the small blind.

Polk called, and then the {7-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{a-Hearts}{10-Hearts} board checked through to the river where Polk bet 12,000 and Lunkin folded.

Bouares Gets Lucky to Chop

Level 2 : 200/300, 300 ante

Farid Bouares bet 3,000 on a {3-Hearts}{6-Spades}{4-Diamonds} flop, and was called by a player in middle position, as well as David "ODB" Baker in the hijack.

Bouares continued for 5,000 on the {5-Clubs} turn, and only the middle position player called.

Both players quickly checked the {7-Diamonds} river, and the middle position player shook his head and said, "Straight!" before rolling over {7-Clubs}{7-Hearts} for a turned straight that was counterfeited by the river. Bouares turned over {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}, and the two chopped the pot, much to the chagrin of the middle position player.

Cheong Doubles Up

Level 2 : 200/300, 300 ante

Joe Choeng fired 6,500 into about 15,000 when the action was caught on the {2-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{7-Spades}{5-Hearts} turn. Cheong was in the small blind and he got called by G Giannakopoulos in the cutoff.

The river fell {3-Diamonds} and Cheong moved all in for his remaining 19,100. Giannakopoulos thought for about a minute and then called.

Cheong showed {7-Clubs}{7-Hearts}, knowing he was taking it down after the safe runout. Giannakoupoulos wanted to muck his hand but the dealer turned it up, exposing {k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}.

Noori Takes a Small Pot

Level 2 : 200/300, 300 ante
Michael Noori
Michael Noori

Michael Noori has been building nicely and just took down another pot, adding some more to chips to his stack. He and two others were in a pot on the flop and on a {10-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{k-Spades} board, Noori bet 1,400 in position. Only one of his opponents called.

The turn was a {9-Diamonds} Noori bet 3,500 this time and his opponent check-called again. The river was a {6-Hearts} and this time Noori checked it back.

Michael Noori: {k-Clubs}{q-Hearts}
Opponent: {a-Spades}{10-Spades}

Noori's top pair was good enough and he chipped up a little more.

Greenblatt Has Higher Pair

Level 2 : 200/300, 300 ante

Three players went to a flop of {8-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} and Alexander Greenblatt bet 2,500 in position. He received a call from Stanley Webb in the small blind while the third player gave up.

Webb check-called another 4,500 on the {j-Clubs} turn and they both checked the {q-Clubs} river.

Webb announced a pair, but his {6-Spades}{4-Spades} finished second to Greenblatt's {a-Clubs}{8-Clubs}.

Holz Lays One Down

Level 2 : 200/300, 300 ante

There was a raise to 600 on the button and Fedor Holz defended from the big blind. The flop came {7-Clubs}{5-Spades}{2-Clubs} and both players checked to the {4-Spades} on the turn.

Holz led out for 1,400 and his opponent called to see the {3-Diamonds} on the river. With four cards to a straight on the board, Holz slowed and tapped the table this time. His opponent stuck in a bet of 2,200 and Holz instantly sent his cards to the muck.

Dotson Can't Take it on the River

Level 2 : 200/300, 300 ante
Chris Dotson
Chris Dotson

Robin Stene raised to 1,200 from early position, and three players called, including Oddscheker Qualifier Chris Dotson in the small blind.

Action checked to the river of an {8-Spades}{j-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{q-Spades}{2-Spades} board, where Dotson bet 1,500. Stene clicked it to 3,000, and action folded back to Dotson, who didn't think long before releasing his hand, as well.
