Andrew Moreno
Andrew Moreno

The button opened to 2,400 and Andrew Moreno three-bet to 8,500 from the small blind.

The flop was {8-Clubs}{a-Spades}{6-Diamonds}. Moreno fired out a small bet of 2,000 and the button quickly called.

The turn was the {6-Clubs}, action checked around to the river of {4-Spades} and Moreno loaded up and bet 30,000 putting the button to the test for most of his chips. The button eventually laid it down and Moreno raked it in the pot with no showdown.

Courtney Webb was involved in a hand in which the pot was already around 25,000 in chips.

The board was reading {5-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{k-Spades} and action was on Courtney Webb against an opponent.

Webb bet 15,000 in chips and her opponent quickly mucked the hand as Webb scooped in the pot.

More importantly for Webb she now has almost doubled her starting stack and is above average.
