Hold'em

Hanks Honig check-raised from the big blind on a {4-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{k-Spades} board against Matthew Schreiber, and Schreiber called. Honig bet the {5-Spades} river and Schreiber quickly called with {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}, beating Honig's {a-Clubs}{9-Clubs} for a whiffed flush draw.

Then, Valentin Vornicu raised early and Honig made it three bets in the small blind. Vornicu called, and called more barrels on the flop and turn as {2-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{j-Spades}{10-Clubs}{k-Hearts} hit the felt. Honig tanked about 30 seconds before checking the river, and Vornicu checked back but couldn't beat {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}.

"Well-played," Honig said. "I was calling."

Vornicu raised the next hand as well and again got three-bet by the small blind, this time Brendan Taylor. Taylor fired the {j-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{a-Clubs} flop and Vornicu raised. Taylor called and checked the {4-Hearts}. Vornicu bet again, and Taylor fired in a raise.

"Ace-jack?" Vornicu wondered. He folded.
