Level 4 : 200/400, 400 ante

There was an under-the-gun raise to 900 and two callers, one of whom is down in the player list as Stan L in on the button before big blind Adam Smith squeezed to 4,000.

Smith received zero respect for his big squeeze with both opponents making the call to take action three-way to a flop of .

Smith continued for 5,000 which was enough to deter one of the calls, but not Mr. L who raised to 12,000, with Smith responding with a shove. Mr. L called immediately and the two revealed their hole cards.

Smith had the lead in the hand with though Stan L was drawing extremely live with for the gutshot straight flush draw. Fortunately for Smith the turn and river bricked out and he stacked up to 60,000 while Stan L dropped to 40,000.

Feature Table Fun

Ben Wilson

Level 3 : 200/300, 300 ante

Over on the feature table the action folded around to Ryan Otto in the cutoff, who is evidently still recovering from his three and a half hour heads-up battle with Jonathan Karamalikis in the High Roller as he announced a raise to 750.

However, this proved problematic as there are no 25 denomination chips in play. The floor was called to decide whether Otto had to make it 700 or 800, with the former decided upon.

Big blind Vincent Xu was the only caller, with the flop falling . Xu checked it over to Otto, who jokingly announced 631 and was immediately reprimanded by the dealer, who evidently did not find it all that amusing.
