Henry Tran Takes One

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

On a {8-}{6-}{3-} flop with two hearts, Henry Tran faced a bet and put his opponent all in. The player called and showed {9-Hearts}{4-Hearts} for a flush draw. Tran turned over {K-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for a higher flush draw and paired his ten on the {10-} turn. The opponent could only win with a non-heart seven, and the river was the {A-Hearts} to give Tran the nut flush.

Jeff Madsen Moving on Up

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

An early position player opened to 1,000, and both Jeff Madsen in middle position and the cutoff called. All three players checked the {J-Hearts}{9-Spades}{6-Clubs} flop, and it was checked to Madsen on the {4-Clubs} turn. Madsen bet 1,400, which both players called, and everyone checked the {2-Spades} river. Madsen showed {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}, and his pair of sevens was good for the pot.

Mike Leah Not a Loser

Mike Leah
Mike Leah

On a {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}{5-Clubs} flop, Mike Leah had bet and called a player's raise. When the {9-Hearts} hit the turn, the player bet 2,100 into Leah, who quickly raised to 5,000 total. The player thought for a bit and looked at Leah, who was busy playing the online event on his laptop. Eventually, the player folded and Leah took down the pot.
