Raul Martinez Requena Forces a Fold

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

We got to the table to see Raul Martinez Requena, sitting in the big blind, playing heads-up against the player in the hijack position.

The flop was {9-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{7-Diamonds}, Requena bet 2,100, his opponent raised to 4,800 and Requena called.

The turn brought out the {2-Spades} on which both players checked.

The river {6-Hearts} completed the board, Requena bet 6,000 and got the other player to fold.

Two Hands With Erik Lemarquand

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

Erik Lemarquand is pretty active at his table. We just saw two hands where he was involved.

Hand 1

Lemarquand raised from under the gun to 500, and only the players in the blinds decided to call.

The flop came {3-Spades}{2-Hearts}{5-Spades}, and the players in the blinds both check-folded to the 600 bet of Lemarquand.

Hand 2

This time Lemarquand was in the hijack. After a {10-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds} flop, the player in early position check-called the 3,000 bet of Lemarquand. The turn then brought the {4-Diamonds} and both players checked.

The river completed the board with the {8-Hearts} and they both checked again. His opponent showed {A-Spades}{K-Spades} and Lemarquand showed {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs}, so they chopped the pot.

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante
Dietrich Fast
Dietrich Fast

One of the tables we're definitely keeping our eyes on is the one where Dara O'Kearney and Dietrich Fast are sitting.

We got to the table to see Fast sitting in the big blind and O'Kearney in the cutoff. A player in early position raised to 550 and both O'Kearney and Fast called.

The flop came {J-Spades}{5-Clubs}{K-Spades} and all three players checked. The turn was the {4-Clubs} and this again made all three players check.

The {8-Clubs} on the river completed the board. Fast bet 1,000, the other player folded and O'Kearney called. Fast showed {8-Hearts}{4-Hearts} for two pair and O'Kearney mucked.

Maxim Lykov Stacking Up

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

We got to the table and suddenly saw Maxim Lykov and Ismael Bojang sitting next to each other. This could be another table on which to keep a close eye.

While there Lykov got involved in a hand that began with a player in mid-position raising to 675. Lykov, sitting on the button, called and so did the player in the big blind.

The flop came {9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{10-Spades} and all three players checked. The turn brought the {7-Spades} and again, they all checked.

The {9-Clubs} on the river made the player in the big blind bet 750. The other player folded and Lykov called. The player in the big blind showed {A-Hearts}{3-Hearts}, but Lykov showed {3-Spades}{3-Clubs} for two pair to win the pot.

Aces Cracked

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

With about 11,000 in the pot and the board reading {8-Clubs}{3-Spades}{k-Hearts}{6-Spades}, Dylan Wilkerson was in the cutoff and faced an all in bet from Andrew Brinkley in late position for a total of roughly 21,500.

Wilkerson called and tabled {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds} while Brinkley turned over {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}. The river bricked off when the {4-Hearts} fell, and Brinkley's set of kings was good to take it down.
