Level 5 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

David Attride raised to 1,300 from under the gun and action was folded around to James Hinton in late position who decided to three-bet all in for his last 7,800. Attride snap called.

James Hinton: A♣J♦ All in
David Attride: 8♣8♥

No help for Hinton on the 9♥2♥6♦Q♥10♠ runout, and he was sent home for an early bath! There are lots of short stacks around the tables already, and all-in action is heating up.

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Zhijian Zhang raised from early position to 800, and action was folded to Danielle Dare in the small blind, who called, only to see Saul Herrera raise to 2,700 from the big blind.

Zhang then decided to move all in for 9,000. Dare called, and Herrera folded.

Zhijian Zhang: K♣10♣ All in
Danielle Dare: A♠K♦

Zhang was way behind after trying to get frisky, and got no help on the Q♣7♦Q♥3♠6♠ runout and was sent packing by Dare.

"Very sneaky just flatting there with ace-king," remarked Herrera to Dare as she was stacking her newly found chips.

Deuce Comes to the Rescue for Childs

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Myles Phago

Level 1 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante

David Childs raised from middle position to 400 and was called by Josef Schneider, who had limped from early position.

The flop came 3♠2♠5x and in a raising war, all the money ended up in the middle.

Josef Schneider: Ax4x All in
David Childs: 3♥3♣

Schneider had flopped a wheel to crush the set of treys flopped by Childs. The 10♥ was safe for Schneider on the turn, but when the 2♦ came on the river, it gave Childs a full house and sent Schneider to the rail in a nasty way.
