Strong Start For Embleton

Level 2 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Daniel Embleton and John Doringer were heads up through the turn of a board showing 879K.

Doringer checked from the big blind and Embleton fired 5,500 on the button. The call was made to see the Q river, where Doringer checked once more.

Embleton took some time before opting to check back. Doringer showed J9 for a pair of nines, but it was second best as Embleton revealed 87 for two pair.

Logan Likes the River

Level 2 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Ian Logan opened to 1,000 from under the gun and action folded around to Pawaan Bansal in the big blind, who made the call.

Bansal checked the 8310 flop and Logan continued with a bet of 1,000. Bansal called and the dealer flipped over the 5 turn.

Another check from Bansal was met with a bet of 2,500 from Logan, and the call was made to the 7 river. Bansal took the lead by firing 3,500 into the middle.

Logan took a moment and made the call. Bansal showed 44 for a pair of fours, while Logan turned over K7 for a pair of sevens to claim the pot.

Kim Fires Every Street

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Juha Kim opened to 600 in middle position, with Errolyn Strang calling in the cutoff and Peter Le doing the same in the big blind.
