Harmon Shows Strength

Gabrielle Barredo

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Carol Harmon started the action with a 1,600 bet in middle position and got two callers in Ranae Warren on the button and Catherine Brent Griffin in the big blind.

The flop came 10♦J♦4♣. Griffin check-called Harmon's bet of 1,600. Warren had seen enough and folded.

Another 10♣ fell on the turn and Griffin tapped the table. Harmon fired another 5,000 which made Griffin think about her options. Unwilling to pay for the next street, she folded her hand, leaving Harmon to scoop the pot.

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

In a four-way raised pot, the flop read 3♣Q♦K♦ when Yuki Takahashi checked, and so did Andressa Paes, Cai Jhang and Orathai Nasathaen.

The turn was the K♠ and Takahashi led out from the small blind, shoving for 16,000. She got called by Paes with a small stack, before Jhang and Nasathaen also called and they all tabled their cards:

Andressa Paes: A♠J♠ All in
Yuki Takahashi: K♥Q♥ All in
Cai Jhang: A♦J♥
Orathai Nasathaen: 10♦10♠

The 10♥ hit the river. All four players had connected with the board, as Paes and Jhnag both held straights, while Nasathaen revealed a full house. But it was Takahashi who held the higher full house—kings full of queens—to scoop the pot, quadruple up, and eliminate Paes.

Yuki Takahashi	52,000 52,000	52,000
Cai Jhang	35,000 35,000	35,000

Level 3 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Action was picked up with Danielle Laiken and Laura Serfaty engaged in a showdown on a completed board.

Danielle Laiken: K♣J♦ All in
Laura Serfaty: K♦10♦

Both had a gutshot straight draw on the flop of 9♠J♠10♣ and both hit the board with Laiken catching top pair against Serfaty's mid-pair. The runout 4♦2♦ didn't complete any of their draws. Laiken scooped the pot as she empathized with Serfaty going on a showdown with her.

Veronica Brill, who is known to bring the fun to the table, raised from under the gun to 600, Amy Mynderse called from middle position, Catherine Costantini called from late position, and Tabatha Hilliard called from the small blind. The flop came out with Q♣7♥9♣, and everyone checked.

On the turn 8♣, Hilliard checked, Brill checked, and Mynderse placed a bet of 1,100. Everyone folded except Constatini, who made the call.

The river 10♣ had both players check, and Minderse flopped over K♦10♥ for a pair of tens, and Constantini showed K♠J♣ for the flush.

Level 3 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Trishelle Cannatella opened to 800 under the gun and got two callers in Quyen Hoang to her immediate left and Miranda Fullenbach in the big blind.

The trio saw the flop drop 9♠Q♣10♠ and checked. Cannatella went for a bet on the turn 3♠ after action was passed to her. Hoang called, but Fullenbach got out of the way.

On the river 9♣, Cannatella continued the pressure with a 4,000 bet, sending Hoang to the tank. Hoang went into deep thought, separating the 4,000 chips and shuffling it. She finally let go of her hand and put the chips back to her stack.

The dealer pushed the pot towards Cannatella as others wondered what her hole cards were.

Player	Chips	Progress
Quyen Hoang	42,000 42,000	42,000
Trishelle Cannatella	37,700 37,700	37,700
