Nixon Takes an Early Pot

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

In a three-bet pot with roughly 5,000 chips in the middle, small blind Jamie Nixon and cutoff Alexey Shabaldin were looking at a flop of K♦5♥10♣.

Both players checked the flop, but on the turn Q♠, Nixon put out a bet of 2,000, which Shabaldin called.

The river brought the 6♣, and when Nixon continued for 3,800, Shabaldin folded and Nixon pulled in an early pot.

Levy Makes the Right Fold

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Davy Levy raised to 500 from the hijack and called a three-bet of 1,200 from Marvin Rettenmaier, who was in the small blind.

Levy called a 1,700 bet from Rettenmaier on the J♥2♥J♣ flop and a 4,200 bet from Rettenmaier on the Q♥ turn.

The 5♥ completed the board and Rettenmaier put 7,300 into the middle — sending Levy deep into the tank.

After a couple of minutes, Levy said, "I've done this twice in my life," and open folded A♣A♦.

"I was ahead, wasn't I?" Levy asked Rettenmaier.

"You were... ahead preflop," Rettenmaier replied as he turned over A♥J♦ for trip jacks.

The two then shared a fist-bump and and Rettenmaier collected the pot.

Kenyon Takes Small from Alexandre

A J♠ turn saw Alexandre check, Kenyon bet 900 and Alexandre fold.

Zukowicz Wins With Jack-High

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Monika Zukowicz limped in on the small blind, and An Kiang checked in the big blind. Zukowicz bet the minimum of 200 on the 3♦8♦A♠ flop, which Kiang called.

The 8♥ turn and A♦ river were checked through. Kiang showed 9♥3♥ for a counterfeit pair, meaning Zukowicz won the pot with her J♠7♥.

At another table, Jessica Teusl was seen taking her seat.

Nastasa Hits a Straight

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

On the 7♦ turn, Nastasa bet 4,200 and was called to find the 3♠ river where Nastasa asked for 11,300.

Gerard went deep into the tank. " I have a good hand," he said but eventually folded.

"Good fold," Nastasa answered, while flipping over J♠8♠ for a straight.
