Santos Fires All Streets

Level 5 : 300/600, 600 ante

Ross Santos raised under the gun to 1,500 and the player on his left three-bet to 3,000. The action folded back around to Santos and he called.

On the {6-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{2-Hearts} flop, Santos took the lead, firing for 2,500 and his opponent called.

On the {5-Clubs} turn, Santos continued for a bet of 6,000 and got called.

The {2-Diamonds} hit the river and Santos fired for a third time, this time choosing to bet 18,000 and that was enough to put his opponent out of the hand.

Theologis Nearing the Starting Stack Again

Level 5 : 300/600, 600 ante

Heads-up to the {8-Spades}{7-Clubs}{3-Clubs} flop, the action checked to Alexandros Theologis and he bet 3,300 to pick up a call. The {a-Hearts} on the turn was checked and his opponent then led the {k-Clubs} river for 4,200. Theologis raised to 16,100 with fewer than that behind and received the call to reveal {6-Clubs}{5-Clubs} for a flush as the winning hand.

By taking down the pot, Theologis has pulled back to nearly the starting stack.

Kanit Soars Above 300,000

Level 5 : 300/600, 600 ante
