Alan Widmann
Alan Widmann

With the pot up to around 20,000, Alan "Hotted" Widmann shoved all in for 42,000 on a {10-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{8-Hearts} flop. His opponent had around the same behind and went deep in the tank.

Eventually, he gave it up to the German Twitch streamer, and Widmann showed {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs} for top set.

Schulz Flops the Joint

Level 3 : 150/300, 25 ante

A player in the hijack bet 1,400 on a {9-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} flop, and Robert Schulz made it 4,500 in the cutoff. A player on the button cold-called, the original bettor called, and the three took in a {k-Hearts} turn. Action checked to the button, where the player there put in 8,000. Only Schulz continued, seeing a {4-Clubs} river. Both players checked and Schulz tabled {j-Diamonds}{8-Spades} for a flopped straight.

Ana Marquez Getting Short

Level 3 : 150/300, 25 ante
Ana Marquez
Ana Marquez

William Kakon opened the pot for 800 and picked up two callers before Ana Marquez in the small blind raised to 4,200, leaving around 11,000 behind.

The big blind called, as did Kakon, and another player but the player on the button decided to fold.

The flop was {2-Clubs}{2-Spades}{3-Hearts}.

Marquez and the player in the big blind checked it to Kakon who bet 7,800. The other players folded and debate turned to whether Kakon had been bluffing.

“I wouldn’t bluff if she only has 10,000 behind,” Kakon said, gesturing at Marquez’s stack as she remained tight-lipped,

“Dangerous spot to bluff,” opined another player.

Terrence Chan
Terrence Chan

With about 9,000 in the middle of a {q-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{8-Clubs} board, Terrence Chan check-called a bet of 4,000 from a player in late position.

Both players checked when the {5-Clubs} hit the turn and once again to see the {a-Clubs} fall on the river.

Both checked one more time and Chan tabled {j-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for a busted flush draw and his opponent turned over {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}, claiming the pot.

With about 4,000 already in the middle and the board reading {10-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{3-Spades}, action checked to Niall Farrell in middle position and he bet 1,800. One player folded from the hijack and another called from early position.

The turn brought the {J-Clubs} and Farrell's opponent checked. Farrell tossed out an orange T$5,000 chip as he announced a bet of 4,000, and after a few moments of thought, his opponent sent his cards into the muck.

Brandon Adams
Brandon Adams

There was a raise to 800 from middle position and Brandon Adams called from the big blind. "Are you going to try and bluff me again?" Adams' opponent asked from across the table.

The flop came {j-Spades}{9-Hearts}{8-Clubs} and Adams checked to his opponent. "OK, I'll let you bluff me," he said as he bet 1,000. Adams took that opportunity to raise to 3,400 and his opponent mucked his hand.

"You have to show me if you're bluffing," his opponent begged.

"Of course I'm bluffing, but with some equity." Adams tabled {q-Clubs}{5-Clubs} to indeed show his opponent a bluff.
