Schwind's Top Set Holds

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

With the flop reading {9-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{2-Spades}, there was a flurry of action between three players and they all got their chips in the middle before seeing any more cards. Jessica Dawley found herself in the mix holding {k-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}, Dave Schwind showed {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} and the third player held {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}. Schwind was all in for 54,200, the third player had 51,800, and Dawley had them both covered, creating a massive pot for whoever came out on top.

The turn was the {4-Spades} and the river landed the {6-Spades}, which meant Schwind's top set was good enough to take down the pot. Dawley was left with just under 15,000 while Schwind stacked up enough chips to sit among the chip leaders.

The Story of Us; Ethem Tosun and Tommy Chen Share the Bubble

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha

Tommy Chen got all in with {a-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{a-Diamonds} against an opponent with {8-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{2-Clubs}.
