I’ve had many small pocket pairs today and finally flopped a set with the 3♦3♣. Was down to 15k but tripled up on a 2♠3♠9♣ flop after SB led 4,100, MP raised to 10k, and I moved in for 13,400.
Both called and MP bet out SB on brick turn. MP had J♦J♣ and we hold on 9♠ river to get back into it!

Action was picked up between three players on a board reading Q♠2♣J♥Q♣ and about 18,000 in the middle. A player from under the gun checked, a player in middle position checked and Gaurav Chauhan bet 7,500 from the button. The under the gun player shoved for around 24,000, the middle position player got out of the way and Chauhan called with a covering stack to put his opponent at risk.
Opponent: Q♦10♣
Gaurav Chauhan: K♣Q♥
Both players had trip queens but Chauhan had his opponent dominated and remained ahead on the 5♣ river to send his opponent to the rail and take the pot.

Players are headed to their second 20-minute break of the day. Action will resume at Level 7 with blinds of 400-800.
Dan Heimiller and Meddi Ferrah were heads up to a flop of 8♥9♣8♣. Heimiller check-called a bet of 2,000.
The turn peeled the J♦ and both players checked, bringing the Q♠.
Heimiller took the initiative and bet 3,100. Ferrah made the call and his opponent grimaced, showing the A♣ before tossing his hand in the muck.
Ferrah took advantage of not having to show and collected the pot.
