In a heads-up situation with the flop {a-Clubs}{2-Spades}{3-Hearts}, Louis Linard check-called from the big blind seat a bet worth 4,000 from his opponent.

Walton Soars After Sending Normand to the Rail

Level 5 : 300/600, 600 ante

Adam Walton raised it up from the hijack and Frederic Normand three-bet on the button. Walton stuck in a four-bet and within moments the two players had all their chips in the middle with Normand at risk.

Norman flipped over {a-}{k-} but ran right into Walton's {k-}{k-}. A king-high flop gave Walton a set of kings and Norman was unable to recover as he was seen heading for the tournament doors.

Schweitzer Finds Life

Level 5 : 300/600, 600 ante

An under-the-gun player raised to 1,400 and the players on the button and in the small blind called. In the big blind, Brandon Schweitzer went all in for 10,400 and the initial raiser called. The other players folded and the cards were turned on their backs.

Brandon Schweitzer: {3-Spades}{3-Diamonds}
Opponent: {k-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}

The flop and turn came out {q-Spades}{5-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{7-Clubs} which had Schweitzer drawing slim, to either a straight or a set. Luckily for him, the river came a {3-Hearts} which gave Schweitzer a set of threes for the full double.

Christoph Vogelsang
Christoph Vogelsang

Christoph Vogelsang and his opponent in seat one each put in 1,800 on the {a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{4-Hearts} flop to see the {4-Clubs} turn. Seat one check-called a bet of 7,000 from Vogelsang and they went to the river {7-Spades}.

"King-queen of hearts," asked his opponent?

"I'll tell you at the end of the day if you want," said Vogelsang.
