Gerhart Trips up Altman

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Kevin Gerhart and Brian Altman were heads-up on a flop of 2♠4♣8♠. Gerhart was in the big blind and check-called a 2,600 bet from Altman, who was under the gun.

Both players checked on the Q♥ turn and then Gerhart tossed a single 5,000-denomination chip into the middle after the 8♥ completed the board.

Altman decided to look Gerhart up and Gerhart tabled 8♦7♠ for trip eights. Altman couldn't beat it and mucked — conceding the pot to Gerhart.

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

The board was completed to read A♦7♦8♣5♠9♥ with a pot of about 17,500 in it.

Fernando Romano was first to act and he took his time before offering a check. Bin Weng checked it back and tabled the Q♦9♦ for a rivered pair of nines which was the winner as Romano mucked and shook his head while looking up into the air.

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Bin Weng opened to 700 from the hijack and was called by the player in the cutoff and button for a three-way pot.

Weng continued for 700 on the 8♥A♣A♦ flop and only the button called.

The Q♣ fell on the turn and Weng sized up for a 3,200 bet. His opponent again called.

Weng cut out a hefty bet of 14,300 after the 2♦ completed the board and placed it into the middle. His opponent tossed in a single chip to indicate a call and Weng turned over Q♠Q♥ for queens-full of aces.

His opponent mucked and Weng dragged the sizable pot.
