Volynsky Drags an Early Pot

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

With around 10,000 chips in the pot on a board of K6J8, Lara Eisenberg checked from middle position and Victoria Volynsky fired out a bet of 5,000 on the button. Eisenberg called.

When the 2 hit the river, both decided to quickly tap the table and take it to showdown, with Volynsky showing AK for top pair. Eisenberg couldn't beat that and mucked, allowing Volynsky to grow her stack early on.

Rabichow Picks Off Kathrud With Jacks

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Kevin Rabichow
Kevin Rabichow

Steven Mangum raised from the cutoff before Kevin Rabichow three-bet to 5,600 on the button. Oscar Kathrud then moved all in for 24,700 in the small blind.

Mangum put in the 5,600 to call Rabichow's bet, not noticing that Kathrud had shoved. The floor had to be called over, and it was ruled that he could choose to leave the 5,600 in the pot and fold, or call Kathrud's all-in. He eventually folded, while Rabichow took a minute before calling.

Oscar Kathrud: 1010 All in
Kevin Rabichow: JJ

Rabichow had Kathrud dominated with his jacks, and the 855Q9 board provided no help to Kathrud as he was sent to the rail. Mangum then admitted he folded ace-queen.

"I probably would've folded if you called," Rabichow told him.

Great Flop, Terrible Turn and River

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Joshua Schindler defended the flop against a raise by Arsh Grover and was spotted leading the J433 turn for 4,000. Schindler then checked the 10 on the river and Grover checked it back.

"Great flop, terrible turn and river," Schindler said as he exposed the 52 for a missed straight and flush draw.

Grover won the pot with the A10 and replied "if you gonna play five deuce suited, that's the flop you want."
