Deeb Forces a Fold on the River

Level 1 : 100/200, 200 ante

After a raise to 700, from early position, Shaun Deeb stuck in a three-bet to 2,100 in the cutoff. The action folded back to the initial raiser who called. The flop fell {k-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{4-Hearts} and the action checked to Deeb who continued for 2,000. His opponent called and the {8-Spades} hit the turn.

The action checked to Deeb again and he fired in another bet of 4,500. His opponent still called and the {5-Spades} completed the board. Deeb tossed in one more bet of 10,000 and his opponent finally laid his hand down.

Sinn Bets Three Streets

Level 1 : 100/200, 200 ante

After a limp from the cutoff, Charles Sinn raised to 900 on the button and the cutoff called. They went heads-up to a flop of {8-Hearts}{6-Spades}{4-Hearts} and the action checked to Sinn who threw in a bet of 1,500. His opponent called and the {10-Clubs} landed on the turn.

The action checked to Sinn again and he made another bet of 4,000. His opponent stuck around to see the {q-Spades} on the river. Sinn fired a third barrel of 10,000 and his opponent thought for a minute before making the call. Sinn turned over {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{2-Hearts} for the best low hand while his opponent showed {5-Spades}{4-Clubs}{3-Spades}{2-Clubs} for a pair of fours to claim the high hand.
