Ngo Picks Off a Big Bluff to Double

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante
Thi Ngo
Thi Ngo

With two players seeing a final board of JQ1084 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 K10 for a pair of tens, missed straight draw and blocker to the nut straight. Ngo turned over the second-nut straight with K9 to secure a full double up through Chen.

Kiflu Caught Bluffing

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Gabriel Kiflu opened to 700 from the hijack and faced Jianwei Lin who defended from the big blind.

Both of them checked a flop of 47K leading to the 9 turn where Lin led out for 900. Kiflu made the call.

Lin bet 1,300 on the 2 river. Kiflu stood up to have a better look at the board, and raised to 2,600. Lin went into the tank and called with A4 to see Kiflu's hand. He only had A2.

Lindgren Building a Stack

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante
Erick Lindgren
Erick Lindgren

Erick Lindgren raised in early position to 700, and only Richard Spencer called, defending his big blind.

Spencer checked in flow on the 996 flop, calling Lindgren's continuation-bet of 700.

There was no slowing down from Lindgren on the 7 turn, upping the ante with a wager of 2,000. Again, Spencer called.

The dealer flipped the river 8 and Spencer checked for a third time. Lindgren still wasn't content with the size of the pot, placing a more substantial bet of 8,000. Spencer wasn't as quick with his decision on this street, but did end up flicking in a chip to signify a call.

It was bad news for Spencer, though, as Lindgren rolled over 66 for a flopped full house. Spencer mucked his cards face down, and the dealer pushed the pot in the direction of Lindgren.

Newey Takes it Away on the River

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante
Paul Newey
Paul Newey

Daniel Tafur made it 800 to go from under the gun with Paul Newey calling from the hijack, and Robert Tencza defending his big blind.

Tencza checked the 8QK flop, and Tafur put out a continuation-bet of 1,500. Newey called, but Tencza folded.

Heads-up now to the 5 turn, where Tafur fired again, this time for 2,000. Once again, Newey called.

The A river prompted Tafur to slow down and check. Newey fired 5,800, which was enough to get a fold from Tafur.

Sturzeneker showed top pair with AQ. Waterfall revealed his hand, showing KK before conceding the pot to Sturzeneker.

Brendan Shiller
Brendan Shiller

Action was picked up on the turn in a pot betwen Brendan Shiller in the big blind and Taylor Wilson in the cutoff with 7,800 in the middle.

The board read 2JJ6 and Shiller bet 4,200 to see Wilson call.

On the river 4, Shiller bet 5,900 and Wilson opted to raise to 15,500. Shiller wasted little time in calling the bet.

"Good call," said Wilson and Shiller tabled QQ for queens up which was good for Shiller to take down the pot.

Both players checked after the K turn and 3 river and Allen tabled AK for a pair of kings.
