Steele Leads the River

Ollie Garland

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Vanessa Kade raised to 3,000 from under the gun holding 10♥10♦. Jennifer Steele, in the big blind, looked down at 8♣6♦ and called.

The 9♠6♠9♦ flop saw Steele check and then call a bet of 2,500 from Kade, having paired her six.

The A♥ turn saw a repeat of the action, this time Kade bet out 3,000.

The 6♥ river saw Steele take the lead, making a full house. Steele led out for 12,000 and Kade made a frustrated fold.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

The action was caught with 8,500 in the middle and two players looking at flop of K♥10♥3♥.

Alexandra O'Brien, in the big blind, found herself all in and at risk for her effective stack of 6,000, against Ivonne Montealegre, on the button.

Alexandra O'Brien: J♥5♦ All in
Ivonne Montealegre: A♥7♥

O'Brien was drawing dead against Montealegre's flopped nut flush. The 6♦ turn and J♦ river changed nothing and O'Brien was sent to the rail.

The remaining nine players will now take a ten-minute break before the final table starts.
