Michael Kuo raised from under the gun and Joe McKeehen three-bet on his left. James Chen four-bet all in for his last 60,000 in the big blind and both Kuo and McKeehen called.

The flop came KQ5 and Kuo led out with a bet into the dry side pot. McKeehen called and the 2 landed on the turn. Kuo fired out another bet and McKeehen came along to the 6 on the river.

Both players checked and all three hands were tabled. Kuo showed K9 for top pair while McKeehen flashed Ax10x. Chen tabled 108 and Kuo scooped everything with one pair.

Deuces Never Lose

Three players headed to a flop in a three-bet pot and the dealer fanned the flop of 765. Milfred Sageer was the first to bet from the big blind and John Cavanagh raised in the cutoff. Matt Szymaszek folded from the small blind and Sageer just called.

The turn was the 7 and Sageer led out with a bet. Cavanagh raised and Sageer flicked in his last 5,000 chips. Cavanagh tabled K8 for a straight draw while Sageer was out front with 22. The 10 bricked off on the river and Sageer more than doubled his stack.

Chopping The Hard Way

Level 18 : 12,000/24,000, 0 ante

Joe McKeehen has back pedaled some since returning from dinner but that hasn't slowed him down in the action.

McKeehen raised in early position and was called by James Chen in the small blind, as well as Michael Kuo in the big blind. Three ways, they saw a flop of 566. Both blinds checked and McKeehen bet, getting called by both opponents.

The turn brought the J and both blinds checked to McKeehen, who wasted no time in firing another bet. This time Chen folded and only Kuo called.

The river was the 8 and both players checked. Kuo tabled A3 and McKeehen then turned over the A7 for the chop, as both players were playing the same ace high.

Idema Fires Three Streets

Level 18 : 12,000/24,000, 0 ante

Daniel Young raised from the hijack and Nick Pupillo three-bet in the cutoff. Daniel Idema four-bet on the button and both Young and Pupillo called. The flop fell 1094 and the action checked to Idema who continued with a bet. Both Young and Pupillo called.

The turn brought the 7 and Idema fired out another bet. Young and Pupillo still called as the 5 completed the board. Idema unleashed one more barrel on the river which got some hesitation from both Young and Pupillo before they both opted to fold.

Bach Lays a Beating on Noda, Koral Finishes Him

Level 18 : 12,000/24,000, 0 ante
Hiroyuki Noda
Hiroyuki Noda

The action folded around to Hiroyuki Noda who raised it up in the small blind. David Bach reraised in the big blind and Noda called. The flop came 432 and Noda check-called a bet from Bach.

The turn was the 9 and Noda checked again. Bach counted out a bet and Noda check-raised which led to Bach just calling. The K landed on the river and Noda slid out a bet. Bach quickly called and Noda flashed his cards but quickly put them in the muck when Bach tabled JJ.

On the next hand, Noda got the last of his 42,000 chips in the middle preflop against Tom Koral but was unable to connect with the board and was seen heading to the payout desk.

Noda Finds the Triple, Como Left Short

Level 18 : 12,000/24,000, 0 ante

Mavrick Yoo started off the action with a raise on the button, which was called by Robert Como in the small blind, as well as the short-stacked Hiroyuki Noda in the big blind.

All players checked on a flop of AJ2, bringing the 10 on the turn. This time Como took the initiative and bet, who was called for less by Noda, and for the full amount by Yoo.

The all saw the 4 on the river but only two had an option as Como fired again, this time garnering a fold from Yoo. Como turned over KJ for second pair but was only awarded a small side pot as Noda rolled over the J10 for turned two pair.

Noda had a noticeable breath of life as he scooped the pot and stacked his chips. Como, on the other hand, was left a bit deflated.
