Level 8 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Joining the action three ways on the board of {5-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{k-Spades} Mike Picture bet 4,000 from the small blind. He was called by the big blind while another opponent mucked.

The river was the {5-Diamonds} and Picture bet again, this time for 10,000. His opponent pondered for a minute before throwing in the call. Picture showed the {6-Clubs}{5-Clubs} for trip fives to scoop in the pot.

Mike Bedard: {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}

With Bedard well ahead, the flop came {q-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{6-Spades}. The {k-Spades} turn gave Bedard the full house, leaving the button drawing dead. The {3-Spades} came on the river to complete the board, sending the button to the rail.

Level 6 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Action was picked up on the flop of {9-Hearts}{3-Spades}{2-Clubs}, with around 27,000 in the pot.

Cannon lead from the small blind for 6,500. The under the gun player and the button both called.

A turn of {8-Hearts} saw Cannon fire again for 11,000, which elicited a quick fold from the under the gun player. The button took their time, toyed with their cards but ultimately passed.

Cannon picked up a pot of over 45,000, doubling up without seeing the river.

Wong Coolers Opponent with Pocket Queens

Level 6 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Shelok Wong
Shelok Wong

She Lok Wong happily won a 140,000 pot after his {q-}{q-} went up against his under-the-gun opponent's {k-}{k-}.

The dealer quickly washed the board, but the table recounted the action. The under-the-gun player limped in with his soon to be revealed pocket kings, but Wong would have none of that and raised to 3,500. The under-the-gun player called, leaving the two players heads-up.

The flop came {9-}{q-}{3-}, giving Wong a set. His opponent bet 6,500, which Wong raised to 19,000. His opponent shoved his entire stack and Wong called.

The rest of the board ran out with a {3-} turn and a {9-} river, giving Wong's already fortunate hand a full house.
