Trevillian Gets His River Raise Paid Off

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

Action was on the river with a board of {A-Hearts}{J-Spades}{9-Clubs}{3-Spades}{A-Spades} and Brett Trevillian was first to act in a three-way pot. He checked and his first opponent put out a bet of 2,200 into a pot of about 3,000. The other player in the hand called before Trevillian sprung to life with a check-raise, making it 8,000. His first opponent mulled it over for a bit, then called while the other player in the hand folded.

Trevillian revealed his {K-Spades}{6-Spades} for a flush and his opponent let out a groan. He showed his {Q-Spades}{9-Spades} for a slightly lower flush. With that, Trevillian was able to take down the pot and chip up to about 35,000 chips.

Bain Earns a Double Early

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

It’s unclear where all the money got in, but Tristan Bain was holding {Q-Clubs}{10-Clubs} on a board of {Q-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{10-Spades}{10-Hearts} and his opponent, Michael Fraizer was holding {K-Spades}{K-Diamonds} for an overpair to the board. Bain ended up with a full house and would double up. Bain was all in for 14,350 so Fraizer was forced to send over the majority of his stack, leaving him with just over 1,000 chips.
