Zhou Applies Pressure

Level 4 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Picking up the action on the turn, Quan Zhou in middle position was involved in a hand with David Coleman in the big blind.

With the board reading J43A Coleman checked to Zhou. He bet 40,000 and, after some consideration, Coleman called.

Action checked to Zhou once more on the 6 river. This time he sized up a bet to 125,000 with Coleman quickly getting out of the way.

When the J fell on the turn, Davies checked once again before Jorstad continued with a bet of 60,000. Davies cards flung into the muck and Jorstad took off his shades as he pulled in the pot.

Five players limped to see the A109 flop and the action checked to Masashi Oya on the button as he fired 10,000 into the middle. The blinds folded before Curtis Meeks and David Coleman made the call.

When the 8 fell on the turn, all three players checked to see the 5 on the river. Meeks flung 50,000 across the line and Coleman made the call before Oya mucked his hand.

"Nothing, King." Meeks said as he rolled KJ.

Coleman quickly tabled A8 for two pair as he pulled in the pot.

Everybody Has a Flush

Level 4 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Francisco Benitez raised to 8,000 preflop from middle position and was called by Chongxian Yang in the hijack. Chance Kornuth came along from the small blind, as did the player in the big blind.

An all-club flop of 457 was laid out which saw Kornuth lead out for 9,000. All of the other three players in the pot called.

The 2 fell on the turn and the action checked to Benitez who bet 27,000. Yang and Kornuth both folded but the big blind called.

Both checked the 10 river and the big blind showed 83 for a slightly higher flush than was on board, but Benitez had the winner with his KQ.
