Edwards Wins With Full House

Level 3 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Four ways on a flop of {8-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{4-Clubs}, Shane Edwards bet 1,300 from the big blind and was called by a lone opponent in early position. Everyone else folded.

The turn brought the {6-Clubs} and Edwards check-called a 2,000 bet from his opponent.

Edwards checked dark before the {5-Hearts} river came and his opponent checked back. Edwards tabled {8-Hearts}{5-Hearts} for a rivered full house, which was good against the {9-Spades}{7-Spades} of his opponent for the pot.

A player opened to 400 from under-the-gun and was three-bet to 1,200 by Cortez Baker on the button. The player in the small blind cold-called and the original raiser called as well.

Everyone checked on the {8-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} flop and the small blind led out for a 2,300 bet on the {k-Spades} turn. Both players called.

The {a-Spades} completed the board and the player in the small blind bet 5,500. The player under-the-gun folded, but Baker then raised to 15,000. His opponent called and Baker showed {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds} for top two pair. His opponent mucked and Baker took down the sizable pot.

Six Enough For Fleishman

Level 1 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante

Barry Fleishman opened to 300 from under-the-gun and was called by the player on the button and both players in the blinds.

Everyone checked on the {q-Hearts}{q-Spades}{j-Hearts} flop and action was checked to Fleishman on the {6-Clubs} turn. Fleishman bet 800 and only the player on the button called.

Both players checked on the {5-Spades} river and Fleishman announced, "Six," before turning over {7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} for queens and sixes. It was good as his opponent mucked — awarding the pot to Fleishman.
