Sebastian Crane opened the action with a raise to 20,000 from early position, and Paris Sitzoukis responded with a three-bet to 75,000 from the big blind. With the two largest stacks at the table squaring off, Crane made the call to see a flop.

The dealer fanned 8♣Q♥A♣, and Sitzoukis led out for 40,000. Crane called without hesitation.

Both players checked the 7♦ turn and the K♥ river. Sitzoukis revealed Q♣2♦ for middle pair, and Crane quietly mucked his hand, offering a respectful, “Good hand.”

Roxanne Johnson

Level 17 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Ryan Dodd raised from middle position to 11,000, and Henrique Camara Ferreira called from the big blind. The flop came out with 10♦6♥6♣, and Dodd bet out 11,000 while the other players all left for their break, and Ferreira made the call.

On the turn 3♣, both players checked, and the river Q♥ brought out a lead bet from Ferreira of 18,000, and Dodd took some time and made the call with ace high, which was the winner. Ferreira turned over A♣4♠ and Dodd turned over A♠K♠. Ferreira rapped the table and left on his break while Dodd stacked his chips.
