Lexy Gavin
Lexy Gavin

The player in the early position raised for Christina Read to three-bet from the middle position. The action folded to Lexy Gavin in the big blind who four-bet shoved with the bigger stack. The initial raiser made the call but Read folded.

Early Position: {a-Spades}{q-Spades}
Lexy Gavin: {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}

The board ran out {a-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{4-Spades} for the initial raiser to flop the higher two pair but for Gavin to turn the full house to eliminate her opponent.

"I folded queens," said Read.

Agostinetti Takes It on the River

Level 6 : 300/600, 600 ante

Stephanie Agostinetti raised in the hijack and got called by the cutoff, Sasha Liu on the button and the big blind.

The flop showed {q-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{8-Spades} and brought no betting action. The {k-Spades} came on the turn and it checked to Agostinetti who bet 2,500, only called by the big blind.

A {2-Clubs} hit the river and the big blind immediately check-folded after Agostinetti moved some chips in the middle for a bet.

Poulter Hits a Flush to Survive

Level 6 : 300/600, 600 ante

Laura Poulter was sitting in the hijack and looked a bit upset but then realized things weren't as bad as things looked initially. She was all-in and at risk as her opponent in the under-the-gun position had her covered.

Laura Poulter: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}
Under The Gun: {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}

The board ran out {8-Spades}{7-Hearts}{q-Spades}{q-Spades}{5-Spades} for Poulter to hit the flush on the river to stay alive.
