Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Lynn Phan opened to 3,000 and got called by the player next to her and the big blind.

The flop revealed J♣7♣6♦ and it checked to Phan who continued for 10,000, only called by the big blind. The turn showed the 8♠ and after another check, Phan sent 15,000 in the middle. This time her opponent tanked, but still made the call.

The 9♥ landed on the river and the big blind fired 35,000. Phan snap-called all in for her last 20,400. The big blind tabled A♣J♠ for a pair of jacks but Phan flipped over A♦A♠ to claim the pot and the double up.

Wang the Best Player in Puerto Rico

Roxanne Johnson

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

PokerNews heard some excitement coming from one table where Stephanie Wang had won an all-in pot and could not believe she won it. According to the players:

Stephanie Wang raised 2,500 from under the gun and a middle position player called and the button three-bet to 6,000 and it went three way to the flop

The flop came out 7♠2♠3♦ and Wang Jammed the flop for about 21,000 and the player in middle position folded and the button called for all of her chips.

Button: J♠10♠
Stephanie Wang: A♠9♠

Both players were drawing for the spade but Wang had the nut flush draw and the turn Q♠ gave Wang the best hand. The river A♣ was irrelevant to the hand and the button was sent packing.

When asked which flag Wang wanted on her profile she stated, "I live in Puerto Rico and right now I am the number one player in Puerto Rico". The ladies at the table all laughed.
