A player in early position opened the action to 600 and the player next to act called. It folded to the button who made the call and Steven Buckner put in a three-bet to 2,100 from the small blind. All three opponents came along and the flop fanned out K♣9♦4♥.
All four players checked their options to the 8♥ turn. Buckner announced a bet of 2,500, all three of his opponents let their cards go, and the pot was shipped to the New Yorker.
Action began preflop when Qiaonan Liu raised to 700 from the cutoff. The player on the button raised to 3,000, then the small blind four-bet to 8,700. Liu five-bet to 16,000, and only the small blind called.
The flop came Q♠A♠5♠ and the small blind quickly checked to Liu. He led out for 13,000, but his opponent opted to fold.
Lindsay Schkilkuche raised from early position to 1,200. Action folded to the small blind who put in a three-bet to 3,700.
The big blind, who was extremely short stacked from a previous hand, called for less, putting himself all in.
With action back on Schkilkuche, he called the three-bet and with one player at risk, three players headed to a flop of 7♥Q♥2♥.
The player in the small blind checked and watched as Schkilkuche put together a bet of 3,000 which got a fold from the small blind and sent Schkilkuche and his opponent in the big blind to a two card run out with cards on their backs.
Big Blind: K♠J♥
Lindsay Schkilkuche: Q♠Q♦
The turn and river came the 3♣ and 8♠, offering no improvement to the big blind player and sending him to the rail with an early exit as Schkilkuche collected the pot.
The player under the gun raised preflop to 900 and Carl Kuran reraised to 2,400 in early position. The hijack raised again to 5,100, the first player folded, and Kuran pushed all in for 24,000. The hijack called.
Hijack: A♥Q♣
Carl Kuran: A♣A♦
The board ran 5♦6♣5♥10♥3♠ and the aces prevailed, which gave Kuran a much needed chip boost.
Action began after the board of 9♣4♠3♣5♥5♣ with Srikanth Yadlapati having jammed all in. His opponent eventually found the call as both players revealed their holdings.
Opponent: 7♣7♥
Srikanth Yadlapati: 9♦5♦
Yadlapati took the pot down with his full house to send his opponent to the rail.
Rami Jradeh was in late position when the player under the gun raised preflop to 800. Jradeh called and the big blind came along for the ride.
The flop was 5♠3♦A♥ and the player under the gun bet out for 2,000, Jradeh called, and the big blind folded.
The Q♣ on the turn had the player under the gun betting 5,000 and Jradeh called again. The river brought 5♥, the preflop bettor bet 5,000 again, and Jradeh called.
Jradeh showed 8♦5♦ for trips and the preflop aggressor mucked and said, "a chip and a chair."
Level: 3
Blinds: 200/300
Ante: 300
Francis Anderson raised to 500 from under the gun and got a call from the big blind leading to a K♣7♦6♠ flop.
The big blind checked over to Anderson who continued with a bet of 500. The player in the big blind called, prompting the dealer to burn and turn the 2♣.
The big blind checked to Anderson again who counted out a bet of 1,500, getting a quick call from his opponent and leading to a 5♥ river.
The big blind player checked once more and Anderson wasted little time in sizing up to a river bet of 4,000.
This was enough to get the big blind to toss his hand into the muck with Anderson raking in the pot without showdown.
Greg Muzzillo was under the gun and came in for a raise to 700. A player in late position made the three-bet to 2,100.
Action folded back to Muzzillo who thought briefly before putting in a four-bet to 6,800.
The late position player didn't wait long before announcing all in and Muzzillo beat him into the pot, setting up a runout with his opponent at risk.
Late Position: A♠K♥
Greg Muzzillo: A♦A♥
The board ran out 3♣4♠3♥7♠10♣ and with that, Muzzillo sent his opponent to an early exit.
