Melanie Weisner Picks Off A Bluff

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

The board at the turn saw three players contesting the pot.

The cards in the middle were {10-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{9-Hearts} and Melanie Weisner led out for 600 from the big blind. One mid-position player called and the player on the button folded.

The river card was the {3-Diamonds} and Weisner check-called a bet of 1,500 and waited for her opponent to show his {a-Diamonds}{8-Spades}. Weisner tabled {q-Diamonds}{4-Spades} and collected the pot.

Thomas Zanot From Early Position

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

Thomas Zanot opened for 800 from under the gun and picked up a call from Audley Harrison, a player on the button, and the player in the big blind.

Four players saw the flop of {j-Spades}{j-Hearts}{10-Spades} and they all checked. The turn card was the {q-Clubs} and Zanot bet 1,700, picking up just one call from the player on the button.

They both checked the {6-Diamonds} turn and Zanot tabled the winning {k-Spades}{10-Hearts}.

Swing and a Miss For Sharon Liss

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

There was an open from a player in middle position for 1,200 and Sharon Liss moved all in for 9,000 from the button. The blinds folded and the original raiser called.

Liss: {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}
Opponent: {a-Clubs}{q-Spades}.

“Give her some diamonds,” said the opponent who had Liss covered.

The board ran out {5-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{8-Spades}{8-Hearts}{3-Spades}.

There was nothing there for Liss and her first bullet missed the target.
