Liu Takes One

Level 2 : 400/800, 0 ante

The {a-Spades} fell on the river and Liu sent a last bet in the middle. Thus time, her opponent folded.

Painter's Pocket Pair Pulls Pot

Level 3 : 500/1,000, 0 ante

The under-the-gun player opened to a big bet of 1,000, before the cutoff raised to 1,500. Jameson Painter, on the button, made in 2,000 before the big blind raised it to the maximum of 2,500. The under-the-gun player got out of the way before the cutoff and Painter both made the call.

The cutoff led out for 500 on the {3-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} flop. Painter and the big blind both called.

The cutoff fired for 1,000 on the {5-Clubs} turn, again receiving two quick calls.

The cutoff put in another big bet on the {4-Spades} river, getting called by both players, giving a three-way showdown. The cutoff turned over {a-Spades}{k-Hearts} before Painter showed him {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs}, giving him two pair after the board had paired on the flop. The big blind mucked his hand, giving Painter the pot.

Pan Makes the Right Call

Level 3 : 500/1,000, 0 ante

Qinghai "Jack" Pan raised in the cutoff and called a reraise from Jason Badawi in the big blind seat.

The flop came {8-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} and Badawi check-raised Pan, who opted to call. The turn fell the {k-Clubs} and Pan called another bet from Badawi.

When the {5-Hearts} landed on the river, Badawi sent another bet in the middle and Pan tanked for some time before tossing a chip for the call. Badawi instantly mucked his cards and Pan showed {j-Clubs}{10-Hearts}.

The cutoff led out for a big bet, earning calls from Vasu Amarapu, the small blind, and the big blind.

Level 3 : 500/1,000, 0 ante

Robert Como raised preflop in the hijack position and received a call from the button and the big blind. The flop came down {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{j-Spades} and all three players checked.
