Ngo Picks Off a Big Bluff to Double

Ryan Lashmar

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

With two players seeing a final board of J♦Q♣10♦8♥4♥ and around 20,000 in the middle, Thi Ngo checked from the hijack and Wenbin Chen shoved from the cutoff, covering Ngo who had 24,300 behind. Ngo called.

Chen could only show K♠10♠ for a pair of tens, missed straight draw and blocker to the nut straight. Ngo turned over the second-nut straight with K♦9♦ to secure a full double up through Chen.

Paulo Drummond raised from middle position with David Baldanza calling from the small blind, and Gunner Stever defending his big blind.

After two checks, Drummond bet 1,200, which both Baldanza and Stever called.

The 8♥ turn prompted another two checks, and another bet from Drummond, this time for 3,000. Baldanza called, but Stever folded.

Heads-up to the 5♠ river where Baldanza check-folded to Drummond's third barrel of 5,000.

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

There were roughly 11,000 chips in the pot on a flop of 5♦4♦7♣, Edward Hughes who was in the big blind led for 2,300, Morgan Mcbrayer folded under the gun, Joseph Barrett called in the cutoff and Ignacio Tartaglia folded in the small blind.

Action slowed down as Hughes check-called a bet of 6,500 when the 6♥ hit the turn, and both players checked on the J♠ river.

Hughes tabled two pair with 5♣4♣, and he scooped the pot.

Jeffrey Blenkarn had raised on the button when Kim Wittendorff promptly piled in his stack of 40,600 from the big blind. Blenkarn spent a bit in the tank before he folded, showing the A♠ as he did so.

Wittendorff casually tabled the 6♦, raking in the chips without showdown.

Vavelle Slows Lindgren's Progress

Stewart Morrison

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Erick Lindgren raised in early position to 700, which garnered calls from Nick Vavalle in the cutoff and the player in the small blind.

All three players checked the 8♣10♠K♣ flop before Lindgren picked up the betting lead again on the 4♦, with a wager of 1,500. Vavalle called, and the small blind player folded.

Lindgren continued with a bet of 4,500 on the A♠ river, which was met with a raise from Vavelle to 12,000.

After taking some time to consider his options, Lindgren returned his cards to the dealer. "Suspicious", Lindgren said, as the pot was being pushed in the direction of his opponent.
