James Chen Gets Three Quarters

Level 5 : 600/1,200, 0 ante

The board was {8-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{10-Clubs} and James Chen was first to act against one other player. He checked his option only to meet a bet from his opponent. Chen then raised and his opponent called.

The river was the {K-Spades} and Chen bet. His opponent called. Chen showed {A-Hearts}{8-Spades}{5-Spades}{4-Clubs} for a low and two pair. His opponent could only muster {A-Spades}{9-Hearts}{6-Spades}{4-Diamonds} for the same low and just ace high. Chen took down most of the pot and moved back over the starting stack.

Ho Quarters Magnus

Level 4 : 500/1,000, 0 ante
Maria Ho
Maria Ho

From the hijack seat, Maria Ho opened with a raise. Nadya Magnus called from the big blind.

The flop was {Q-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} and Magnus checked, then called a bet from Ho.

On the {10-Hearts} turn, Magnus checked again, then called another bet from Ho.

Magnus decided to shift it up and led out on the {A-Diamonds} river, but Ho called quickly. Magnus showed {J-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} for the nut low, but Ho was holding {A-Spades}{4-Hearts}{2-Spades}{J-Hearts} for the nut low with a better high hand, so she took down three-quarters of the pot.
