Porter Gets a Full Double Through Liu

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Andrew Porter raised to 5,000 in the cutoff before Xuan Liu three-bet the button to 15,000. Porter called when it got back to him and the dealer fanned the K92 flop.

Porter started out with a check, and Liu placed out a bet of 13,000. Porter continued in the form of a call.

The 10 came on the turn, causing Porter to check again. Liu fired a second barrel of 65,000, and after giving it a bit of thought, Porter called.

A 2 completed the board and Porter checked for the last time. Liu unloaded the clip, firing a third and final barrel by putting Porter all in for his last 49,500. Porter snap-called.

Porter instantly turned over 1010 for a set, which was good to win the pot and earn himself a full double-up.

The flop came 5QQ, and Smirnov kept up his aggression with a bet of 5,000, and Rujis called.

Smirnov quicky tabled AJ, and Ruijs mucked with a grin.

River Favors Baron

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Isaac Baron jammed for 27,500 from the button and was called by Liangce Ni in the big blind to be at risk.

Isaac Baron: A4All in
Liangce Ni: A5

The flop did not change much as it came QK6.

The 6 turn made it appear the two were headed to a chop, but the 4 river changed that in a hurry as Baron upgraded to two pair to take down the pot.

Stephen Song raised to around 5,500 from early position with Adam Hendrix calling in the small blind and Asher Conniff defending from the big blind.

Both checked the A turn to see the 8 arrive on the river. Hendrix fired out for 19,000, resulting in a tank-fold from Song.

Kristen Foxen
Kristen Foxen

Lin Zhou jammed for his final 4,500 on the button and was called by Kristen Foxen in the big blind to be at risk.

Lin Zhou: 1010All in
Kristen Foxen: 22

Zhou was in a good position to double up, but the duck flew in to ruin his day when the flop came AQ2 to give Foxen a set.

The K turn gave Zhou some additional outs, but it was not meant to be on the 8 river.
