Beasy Wins Small Pot

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

Joseph Beasy opened to 4,500 from under the gun. Adam Weinraub called out of the small blind, and Benjamin Grise joined out of the big blind to create a three-handed pot.

The 358 flop led to a round of checks to bring the 6 turn. Weinraub checked before Grise put out a bet of 6,000. Beasy called, but Weinraub folded.

Both players slowed down on the 6 river with a round of checks.

Beasy showed AQ, which was good enough to claim the pot as Grise folded.

James Rivers a Set

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

There were roughly 120,000 chips in the pot on 2345.

Eelis Parssinen in the small blind checked to Robert James in the big blind and he checked behind.

The J on the river saw Parssinen think about his decision for a short while, and he even threw in a time bank but eventually checked his option. James did not take long to check behind, and Parssinen tabled 99 but was behind the whole way as James tabled JJ to scoop the pot.

Both players checked the J turn to bring the 10 river. James chose to wager 26,000, and Minko made the call to go to a showdown.

James showed 88 for eights and nines, but it was no good as Minko revealed he hit the turn with AJ for jacks up to take the pot.
