Neal Pots Flop for Win

Level 10 : 300/600, 70 ante

Adam "IT5PAYDAY" Neal played it aggressively after "btrwakeurSup" raised the hijack to 1,200 from a small stack. Neal reraised to 3,600, and when "btrwakeurSup" called, and checked the {8-Spades}{4-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} flop, Neal over-potted for 9,000, enough to force their opponent all in, and got the fold.

Ambassador Update

Level 9 : 250/500, 60 ante

So far today, only two 888poker ambassadors have been spotted at the felt. Sofia "sofialovgren" Lovgren just busted her second bullet of the day, and hasn't rebought, while Vivian "vivi.888." Saliba is nursing a short stack. There is still almost two hours for others to jump in though. Currently, the field stands at 120 entries, with 109 players and 11 rebuys and 90 players still in action.

"ankapupu" Raises Big from Button

Action folded to "ankapupu" on the button, and they put in a huge raise to 9.898. That sent small blind "90020590" and big blind Sofia "sofialovgren" Lovgren into the tank, but both ultimately folded to the unorthodox raise.

Glatzer Takes it on the Turn

Level 7 : 150/300, 40 ante

PokerNews reporter Jason "wackyJaxon" Glatzer is taking a day to get some online play in, and took down a pot of over 6,000 after calling 750 pre-flop in the cutoff against the middle raise from "90020590". Glatzer called 732 on the monochrome {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{3-Hearts} flop, then fired 2,607 after a check on the {2-Diamonds} turn. "90020590" folded, and Glatzer raked in the pot.
