Duddukuru, Guzman Chop Full House Board

Herbie Teope

Level 2 : Limits 300/600, 0 ante

Gnana Duddukuru and Gray Guzman found themselves in a unique hand during the second level of blinds.

Duddukuru limped in late position after action folded to him, but Guzman raised on the button, prompting a call from Duddukuru.

The flop produced K♥3♦K♠ and both players checked their options. The turn brought out 3♣, leading to both players once again check, and then the dealer placed 3♥ on the river to put a full house on the board.

Duddukuru and Guzman checked it down, and Guzman tabled 9♦9♠ and Duddukuru showed 6♥5♥.

Neither of their hands affected the outcome, however, as Duddukuru and Guzman each played the board to chop the pot.

Top Set Good for Song

Chris Land

Level 3 : Limits 400/800, 0 ante

On a flop of 9♦10♥Q♠, Kevin Song bet and received a call from both of his opponents. The dealer burned and turned the 6♥ to put action back on Song who continued with another bet that was again called in both spots.

On a river of 3♦, Song bet out again prompting a fold from one player while the player last to act tossed in a call as Song turned over the Q♦Q♣ for top set which is good to take the pot down as players get ready for the first break of the day.
