Charles Bailey

On a flop of {a-Hearts}{8-Spades}{3-Spades}, Charles Bailey put in a bet of 1,200 and his opponent made the call.

The {3-Diamonds} fell on the turn and Bailey fired again, this time for 1,600. His opponent matched the chips.

On the {4-Spades} river, Bailey threw in the same bet of 1,600 and that was enough to scare the opponent out of the hand.

Heads-up on a board of {q-Spades}{10-Spades}{10-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}, David Berger bet 3,000 from the small blind and his opponent sat under-the-gun called.

The river came the {6-Diamonds} and Berger bet 5,200. His opponent called but mucked when Berger turned over {10-Hearts}{9-Clubs} for trip tens.

"When did you like that hand," a tablemate said.

"Pre-flop," Berger replied as he has doubled his starting stack here on Level 1.
