Team Platt Four-Bet Jams

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Maxwell Young
Maxwell Young

Maxwell Young of Team Saetern raised to 10,000 and Ivan Uzunov of Team Uzunov defended the big blind.

The flop came {7-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{3-Clubs} and both players checked to see the {7-Spades} on the turn. Uzunov bet 21,000 and Young made the call.

The {3-Diamonds} landed on the river and Uzunov put in a stack worth about 120,000, putting Young to the test for all of his chips. Young eventually called off his remaining 102,000 and Uzunov tabled {j-Diamonds}{9-Spades} for jack-high. Young tabled {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts} to win with ace-high and get a full double.

Team Pazol Hits the Rail

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Sarah Howell
Sarah Howell

PokerNews did not arrive at the table until the dealer had washed the board, but Sarah Howell of Team Pazol was seen leaving the table after busting and heading to the payout counter with fellow cancer survivor and tag team partner Naomi Pazol.

It was a good run for the duo, who doubled up a short stack twice after getting into the money.

Team Luther Doubles Through Team Lee

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Nikita Luther
Nikita Luther

Nikita Luther of Team Luther raised the button to 10,000 and Hwany Lee of Team Lee jammed 150,000 chips in the middle. Luther called so fast she almost beat him in the pot and both hands were tabled.

Team Luther: {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}
Team Lee: {4-Clubs}{4-Hearts}

It was a race and the {j-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} flop was no help for Luther. The {q-Hearts} on the turn, however, gave her the lead with a pair of queens and the board completed with the {9-Clubs} on the river.
