David Salituro

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Andrei Konopelko bet 1,600 from under the gun on a flop of 10♣9♦3♥ and Skyler Roberts called in early position. Brandy Savage then raised to 3,500 in the small blind and both opponents called.

All three players checked the 4♦ turn before Konopelko bet 6,500 on the 7♦ river. Roberts quickly folded, but Savage gave it some thought before also folding after around a minute.

"I would've called in your spot, but not with you behind me," Roberts told Savage.

The next hand, Roberts raised to 600 under the gun before Jeffrey Muncy three-bet to 2,600 in early position. Erick Lindgren called in middle position, as did Konopelko in the big blind and Roberts.

The flop came 4♦4♥5♣ and Muncy bet 3,500. Lindgren and Konopelko both called. The 8♠ turn was checked through and Konopelko bet 12,500 on the 5♥ river.

Muncy called and Lindgren folded, claiming he had two jacks. Konopelko showed 8♦8♣ for a full house and Muncy tossed Q♥Q♦ into the muck.

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Kevin Rabichow opened from middle position and got called by Aaron Speer on the button, and the big blind.

The action checked to Speer on the 10♦5♦6♠ flop and he bet 1,300. The big blind folded, but Rabichow called.

Both players checked the 7♦ turn to see the 10♣ come on the river. Rabichow checked, and Speer bet 5,200. Rabichow thought for a while before flicking in the call. Speer flipped over K♥10♥ for trip tens, which won him the pot.

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

David Litvinoff opened to 800 from under the gun and then called after Artur Martirosian three-bet to 2,800 in middle position.

Litvinoff checked following the A♣K♣3♥ flop before calling a 4,000 continuation from Martirosian.

The K♥ turn saw Litvinoff check again. Martirosian was in no mood to slow down, instead pushing 10,500 into the middle. That second barrel was enough to convince Litvinoff to lay down his hand as Martirosian scooped a healthy pot.

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Laszlo Nagy raised to 700 from middle position, and after it folded to the small blind Robert Cameron, he made the call, as did the big blind Josh Arieh.

The flop came 8♦7♥Q♣ and all three players checked to see a turn.

After the turn was the 9♦ Cameron bet out 2,000, which Arieh called, and Nagy folded.

The river was the 10♠ and Cameron bet 1,200, which was quickly called by Arieh.

Cameron showed 8♠7♦ for bottom two pair, but Arieh had the winner when he tabled 10♥9♣ for a better two pair.

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Thierry van den Berg raised from early position to 700 and was three-bet to 2,100 by Jason Lockhart on the button. Van den Berg called and they went to the flop heads-up.

Van den Berg checked the 3♠Q♥J♦ flop and faced a bet of 2,400 from Lockhart. Van den Berg folded and Lockhart was kind enough to turn over A♠A♦ as he took in the pot.
