Moulder Back Above Starting Stack

Frank Visser

Level 10 : Limits 3,000/6,000, 0 ante

Patrick Moulder raised in the hijack, with Ben Yu calling on the button and Richie Allen doing so in the small blind. James Davis then bumped it up with a three-bet in the big blind, which all players called.

Davis' bet on the 5♣7♥9♦ flop was also called by every player involved, while his bet on the 4♦ turn only folded out Allen.

Davis completed his triple barrel on the Q♠ river, again seeing Moulder and Yu call. Davis opened A♠A♦J♥2♥ for a pair of aces and the nut low, but would only receive a quarter of the pot as Yu played the same low with A♥Q♥6♣2♦ and Moulder had a better high with K♦6♠3♥2♣ for a straight.

Level 10 : Limits 3,000/6,000, 0 ante

Yehuda Buchalter raised from early position with Daniel Negreanu calling from the next seat, and Jesse Lonis calling from the blinds.

Lonis and Buchalter checked to Negreanu on the A♦5♥9♣ flop and he bet. Lonis raised, which forced Buchalter to fold. Negreanu called.

Lonis bet when the J♦ came on the turn, and Negreanu raised. Lonis called.

The river was 7♣ and Lonis check-called Negreanu's bet. Negreanu showed A♥J♣6♦2♣ for top two pair, and Lonis showed K♥4♥2♠2♦ for a seven-five low, meaning they chopped the pot.

Level 10 : Limits 3,000/6,000, 0 ante

Heads-up to the 7♦J♣A♦ flop, Kane Kalas checked from the small blind before he raised Matt Glantz's bet. He checked the 9♥ turn as well, raising all in when Glantz fired again.

Glantz quickly called, and the cards were revealed.

Kane Kalas: J♥J♦6♦2♣ All in
Matt Glantz: AxK♠10♥Q♥

The 9♠ river made Kalas a full house to secure his double-up in the tail end of Day 1.

Frank Visser

Level 10 : Limits 3,000/6,000, 0 ante

In the big blind, Per Hildebrand had gone all in for 10,000 on the 3♥9♦Q♥ flop, with Andrew Brown calling in middle position and Frankie O'Dell doing so on the button.

Brown then fired a bet into the side pot on the 8♥ turn, to which O'Dell quickly folded.

Per Hildebrand: A♠A♦7♥3♦ All in
Andrew Brown: A♥A♣6♦3♠

Both players had pocket aces, but Brown rivered the better low when the 2♥ emerged from the deck, awarding him three-quarters of the pot.
