Davis Back to Starting Stack After Doubling Up

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

There was already around 21,000 in the pot on the {k-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} board when Chase Davis tossed his final 15,500 in front of him. His opponent quickly called and Davis flipped over {j-Hearts}{10-Hearts}.

His opponent spiked his cards down in anger, being on the wrong end of it and only leaving himself with about 6,000 in his stack.

Davis, meanwhile, got himself back to a touch above starting stack.

Anton wigg
Anton wigg

After Anton Wigg bet 1,200 on a flop of {k-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{4-Spades} from under-the-gun, Loni Hui called from the big blind.

When the {7-Diamonds} fell on the turn, Wigg bet again to 3,500 after Hui checked. She didn't take long to make the call to set up a river.

The {5-Spades} river completed the board and Hui led for 12,000, to which Wigg announced ''All in''. Hui counted her stack out and after about 30 seconds she threw in the call.

Wigg tabled {9-Spades}{8-Spades} for the nuts, while Hui had {6-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} for the bottom end of a straight. Wigg had the bigger stack and sent Hui to the rail.

Altman Takes An Early One

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Brian Altman raised to 500 on the button and was called by a player in the small blind and Alex Foxen in the big blind.

The flop came out {8-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{a-Clubs} and action checked to Altman who bet 600, getting calls from both players.

The turn came out a {q-Spades}, seeing action check to Altman once again who sized up to 4,500 which saw the small blind call and Foxen fold.

The river rolled off a {10-Clubs} and the small blind checked to Altman who bet 9,500. The small blind raised to 20,000 and Altman shot a confused glance at his opponent. He called and the small blind turned over {j-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} for a straight, which was no good against the {9-Clubs}{6-Clubs} for a flush and Altman took down one early.
