Lambros Gets Marx to Lay Down Aces

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Action was picked up on a flop of {5-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{4-Clubs} with about 5,000 in the pot. Chris Lambros led out for 4,000 from the hijack, getting a call from Steven Marx just to his left.

On the {6-Diamonds} turn, Lambros fired for another 10,000. This sent Marx into the tank, before he eventually deciding to fold, doing so face up to reveal {a-}{a-}. Marx let out an "Oh no!" as Lambros showed his hand of {q-Clubs}{q-Spades}.

"I represented a straight," Lambros said, rationalizing Marx's laydown for him.

"I thought you had a set," Marx explained. Another player across the table agreed, and said that he knew Marx had aces. "I thought it was pretty clear what I had, so I thought [he had me beat]." Marx continued.

Comeskey is Feeling It

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Enjoying a relaxing massage, Caitlin Comeskey saw a player open in middle position and a field caller in late position.

She looked down at her cards in the big blind and decided the price was going up. She bumped it up to about 3,300 and both her opponents released their cards quickly.

She smirked as she raked the early pot, ready for the long day ahead.

Kornuth Applies Pressure

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Chance Kornuth, who enjoyed a deep run in the WSOP Main Event last year, ultimately falling in 16th place, was involved in a hand from the cutoff against a player on the button. With the flop reading {2-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{9-Clubs} Kornuth checked and then called when his opponent bet 800.

Both players checked through the {a-Diamonds} turn to the {7-Hearts} river. The button player appeared to think Kornuth had checked and reached for chips before realising the action was still on his opponent. Kornuth decided to fire off a large overbet of 6,800. The button player went into the tank but did eventually find a fold to send the small pot Kornuth's direction.

Heald Gets Thin Value from Seidel

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Chris Heald opened for 500 from late position and was called by Erik Seidel in the hijack and the big blind.

The flop came {k-Spades}{j-Hearts}{9-Clubs} and Heald continued for 500. Seidel called and the big blind folded.

On the {8-Diamonds} turn, Heald put out 800 and was called by Seidel once more.

The river brought the {9-Spades} and Heald fired another small bet, this time for 1,000. Seidel called and Heald showed {a-Hearts}{j-Clubs} for second pair. Seidel mucked.

Bantugan Gets There and Gets Paid

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Action started in a heads-up pot on the turn with Dennis Bantugan sitting in the cutoff. The board showed {10-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{q-Spades}{7-Diamonds}, the pot held about 3,200, and he bet 1,700. His sole opponent sat in the small blind and check-raised him to 3,700. Bantugan called.

The river came the {9-Hearts}. Bantugan saw his opponent lead for 5,100. In position, he raised it up to 16,500. His opponent called fairly quickly.

Bantugan showed {k-Clubs}{j-Spades} for the rivered straight, his opponent frustratingly showed {q-Clubs}{10-Spades} for flopped two pair that was run down on the river.

Sitepu Uses Tens

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Action came in on the river as the board read {7-Spades}{3-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} with a chunky pot of around 27,000 in the middle. From the small blind, Sandhy Sitepu made a smaller-sized bet of only about 1/5th pot as he tossed out 5,600. Ryosuke Hiroki flung in the call.

Sitepu tabled the black tens with the {10-Spades}{10-Clubs} which was good as Kiroki mucked.
