Pring Rivers a Set to Chip Up

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Action was folded round to the button, who shoved into Weston Pring's big blind for 18,000. Pring quickly called and was a big favorite.

Button: {10-Clubs}{j-Spades}
Weston Pring: {q-Diamonds}{q-Spades}

He didn't stay that way for long though as the flop rolled {j-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{2-Clubs}.

The button stayed standing, potentially jinxing himself as the board ran out {6-Spades}{q-Hearts}

Steinman Loses Big

Level 10 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Ian Steinman

Ian Steinman started the action with a raise to 3,000 and the player next to him three-bet to 8,000. It folded back to Steinman who called.

{k-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{j-Spades} landed on the flop and Steinman quickly check-called his opponent's continuation bet for 5,000. The same action happened on the {8-Hearts} turn, this time for 16,000.

The river brought the {6-Diamonds} and Steinman checked one last time. His opponent tanked for a while before firing 50,000. Steinman eventually made the call after some thinking, but only to see {j-Clubs}{j-Hearts} in his opponent's hand for a set of jacks, and mucked his cards.

Adam Lamers
Adam Lamers

The player under the gun opened to 3,500 and Adam Lamers called on the button, followed by the two players in the blinds to create a four-way pot.

The flop revealed {6-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} and it was checked to the initial raiser who continued for 5,500. Lamers and the players in the blinds called again.

The turn fell the {2-Clubs} and was checked around to see a {j-Hearts} land on the river. The small blind checked and the big blind sent a bet worth 22,000, called by the under the gun. Lamers decided to shove for a remaining stack of 72,000 and only the big blind made the call.

Lamers tabled {a-Clubs}{8-Clubs} for the nut flush and the winning hand, as his opponent turned over {9-Clubs}{7-Clubs}. The Pokernews reporter is now seated with a confortable stack of more than 200,000.

On a heads-up flop of {6-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{8-Spades}, Roberto Allesi called a bet of 6,000 from his opponent in the small blind.

On the {9-Clubs} turn, he then called another bet from his opponent, this time for 12,000.

The river brought in the {k-Diamonds} and the small blind fired again for 22,000, and Alessi quickly called again.

The small blind announced he had two pair, and tabled {k-}{9-}, but Alessi showed his {a-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} for the bottom end of the straight, winning him the substantial pot.

You Have To Win Your Flips

Level 10 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Action started with a raise to 3,500 from Early Position. After folding round, the hijack elected to shove for 26,000. Miguel Silva in the cutoff overshoves for roughly 75,000 total and early position folded.

Hijack: {q-Diamonds}{q-Spades}
Miguel Silva: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}

It was an old fashioned flip, and a flop of {10-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} gives Silva the edge.

The board finished off {2-Clubs}{7-Hearts} and Silva added to his stack.
