Glaser Folds Aces

Level 4 : 300/500, 500 ante

A player raised from the under-the-gun position to 1,900 and Benny Glaser three-bet from middle position to 5,200. All the other players folded but the initial raiser stuck around.

The flop fell {k-Hearts}{10-Spades}{10-Hearts} and both players checked. The initial raiser took the betting initiative again on the {k-Clubs} turn with a 5,000 bet and Glaser called.

The {j-Hearts} completed the board and a bet of 11,700 was made. Glaser quickly folded his {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}.

Level 4 : 300/500, 500 ante

Guan Fills Up on Kitai

Level 4 : 300/500, 500 ante

Picking up the action on the turn with the board reading {j-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}, Ricky Guan checked to Davidi Kitai who bet 6,600 into a pot of around 10,000. Guan just called and the {8-Diamonds} paired the board on the river.

Guan checked again, hoping to induce a bet but Kitai sniffed it out and checked it back. Guan flipped over {9-Spades}{9-Hearts} for a full house and Kitai sent his cards to the muck.

Level 4 : 300/500, 500 ante
