Level 3 : Limits 500/1,000, 0 ante

Kristen Foxen raised it up from the hijack and was called by both of the blinds. The flop fell 8♣5♣3♦ and the action checked around to the Q♦ on the turn.

Florencio Bunal led out with a bet from the small blind and both the big blind and Foxen just called. The 2♠ hit the river and Bunal led out with another bet. The big blind folded and Foxen raised this time. Bunal called and Foxen tabled A♥Q♠ which was better than the K♠Q♣ of Bunal.

Bark, But No Bite

Level 3 : Limits 500/1,000, 0 ante

There was a table slam heard at Table 84 and it came from Nicholas Trimble who thought he lost the pot.

"I've run so bad!" Trimble shouted but was actually awarded the pot with a set of nines. "I thought I lost on the river."

"Ya, we feel so bad for you," Andrew Barfield chirped up from across the table.

Barfield raised it up from under the gun on the next hand and was called by Bobby Espina in the cutoff and Trimble in the small blind. The flop came A♣K♠10♣ and Trimble led out with a bet as he began spatting with Carlos Guerrero on his right. Barfield called and Espina stepped aside.

The 10♥ paired the board on the turn and Trimble fired out another bet. Barfield raised this time and Trimble still called. The river was the 4♣ and Trimble check-called one more bet from Barfield. Barfield flipped over Q♣7♣ for a flush to rake in the pot.

"I'll keep quiet for you this time," Trimble said to Guerrero as they continued going back and forth.

Level 3 : Limits 500/1,000, 0 ante

James Ownby opened from early position, and David Tobin three-bet on the button. The blinds folded, and Ownby called.

Tobin added more chips to the pot on the flop of 6♥4♦7♣, and Ownby check-called. The same action occurred on the turn 5♠, and then both players slowed down on the river 3♦.

Both players showed a big pair, with Tobin revealing J♣J♠ and Ownby Q♦Q♣. However, they both just took back the chips they had bet because the straight on the board resulted in a split pot.
