Woods Sniffs Out the Bluff

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Barry Woods was heads-up against and out of position looking at a flop of {q-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{7-Spades}. He bet 700 into the pot of about 1,000 and his opponent made the call.

On the {4-Diamonds} turn, Woods fired again, this time for 1,500. Once more, he saw his opponent make the call.

The river fell the {7-Clubs}. Woods decided not to bet the final street, checking to his opponent, who then fired 4,000. After about 30 seconds, Woods made the call.

His opponent shook his head and flashed his cards to Woods only, prompting Woods to show {k-Clubs}{4-Clubs} for bottom pair and the winner.

Strong Start for Caris

Level 1 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante

Charles Caris raised to 400 from early position and got three-bet to 800 by John Fields. Halley Lewis on the button smooth called and Caris did as well.

The flop came down {10-Spades}{8-Spades}{5-Clubs} and Caris checked to Fields who bet 1,200. Lewis responded by raising to 5,000 to which had Caris calling and Fields folding.

On the turn came a {2-Clubs} and Caris checked to Lewis who moved all in. Caris snap called and cards were on their backs.

Halley Lewis: {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}
Charles Caris: {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}

Lewis' overpair was losing to Caris' set of tens but with one more card to come, he still had a chance. The {8-Clubs} was not the card he needed and he was knocked out of the tournament. "See you when I rebuy!" said Lewis as he walked away.

Eidebakk Starts Off With Rockets

Level 1 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante

Action started with Daniel Smiljkovic four-betting from under the gun to 1,500. In the cutoff, Even Eidebakk five-bet to 4,700. Smiljkovic called and the two were off to a large, early pot.

With nearly 100 big blinds in the middle, the flop came out {2-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}. Eidebakk continued for 2,300 and Smiljkovic went for the check-call.

Both players checked the {k-Clubs} turn and {10-Clubs} river, seemingly content with the size of the pot.

Smiljkovic showed {j-}{j-}, but Eidebakk rolled over {a-}{a-} for the better overpair and the winner.
