Letourneau's Ladies Help Him Chip Up

Level 1 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante
Lawrence Letourneau
Lawrence Letourneau

Joshua Bodell made it 300 to go from early position before Lawrence Letourneau three-bet to 1,200 from the hijack. When it got back to Bodell, he called to see a flop.

On the AJ5 flop, Bodell checked, and Letourneau fired out a continuation-bet of 600. Bodell flicked in the call.

Both players were happy to check down the A turn and K river. Letourneau turned over QQ for two pair, aces and queens with a king kicker to take down the pot.

Williams Takes an Early Pot

Level 1 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante

Mark Ayala opened the action with a raise to 600 from the button, and only Matthew Williams defended out of the big blind.

Both players checked the Q37 flop to see the Q roll off on the turn. Williams checked, and Ayala put out a bet of 600, which Williams called.

The Q hit the river and Williams decided to lead out for 2,200. Ayala quickly folded, and Williams took down an early pot.
