Trips for McGowan

Stewart Morrison

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Jason Osser raised to 800 from the cutoff, and only Michael McGowan called from the big blind.

McGowan check-called a bet of 1,000 on the 3♠5♣3♥ flop, before taking over the betting lead on the Q♥ turn, with a bet of 2,800. Osser made the call.

The river came the J♠, and McGowan continued with a bet of 3,000. Osser called once again but soon found himself mucking his cards, unable to beat McGowan's K♠3♣.

Stewart Morrison

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Leo Worthington-Leese opened to 800 on the button, and only Jed Friedman made the call, defending his big blind.

Both players checked the Q♦6♦2♦ flop, which prompted Friedman to take over the betting lead on the Q♥ turn. A bet of 900 was his chosen sizing, and Worthinton-Leese deemed this fair, making the call.

Friedman put out another bet of 1,200 on the J♣ river and gave Worthington-Leese the bad news after he called. Friedman's A♥6♥ was good enough to win the pot as Worthington-Leese mucked his cards.

Sava Krink

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

With about 3,100 in the middle and four players seeing the 8♥9♦K♦ flop, action checked to Sean Jazayeri, who fired a bet of 1,500. Daniel Wirgau didn’t waste much time and shoved for his last 17,200. Orion Gallagher and Nikola Gunchev got out of the way, but Jazayeri quickly made the call.

Daniel Wirgau: K♠9♠ All in
Sean Jazayeri: 10♦8♦

Wirgau had flopped top two pair, while Jazayeri held a pair of eights with a flush draw and some straight possibilities.

The K♥ on the turn gave Wirgau a full house, locking up the hand, and the A♥ river changed nothing.

Wirgau secured the double-up and chipped back up to a healthier stack.

Jerome Solomon

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Lucas Aleandri from the hijack and Robert Councell in the cutoff each put in 5,000 preflop, but the action slowed after the flop hit 6♠J♥8♦.

They each checked on the flop and the turn of 10♥.

When the 8♣ landed on the river, Aleandri led out with a bet of 17,000. Councell considered the call for some time before making it.

He turned over K♣K♦ to win a nice-sized pot.

Heads-up on a flop of 4♦K♣9♣, Barry Remmel bet 4,000 from the button and Benjamin Gros called in middle position.

The turn was the 2♣ and Remmel bet another 10,000. Gros again called and the 2♦ fell on the river.

Gros checked over to Remmel once more. "You win," Remmel finally said, surrendering the pot and tossing A♣10♦ into the muck. Gros showed him 9♥9♦ for a full house, as he took the pot.

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

With an already large pot of around 19,000 brewing to the K♣7♦5♥8♣ turn, Sam Chartier checked in the cutoff and Arkadiy Tsinis checked behind on the button. The river brought the 4♠ for a four card straight on the board and Chartier checked again.

Tsinis opted to check back and Chartier revealed the A♦2♦ for air, while Tsinis won the pot with the A♥K♥ for the top pair and top kicker.
