Sontheimer Scores a Full Double

Level 3 : 150/300, 25 ante

We didn't catch when the money went in but Steffen Sontheimer and Mack Lee ended up all in for Sontheimer's 26,000.

The board read {9-Hearts}{8-Spades}{8-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} and Sontheimer had rolled over {J-Spades}{J-Diamonds} by the time we arrived, beating Lee's {10-Spades}{10-Hearts}. Sontheimer, who started well but dropped below par, is now back above the starting line as he continued with around 56,000 or so.

Andrejevic Check-Raises the Turn

Level 3 : 150/300, 25 ante

Under the gun, Mike McDonald raised to 700 and a series of folds followed until the action stopped at big blind Andjelko Andrejevic, who defended with a call.

Andrejevic checked the {A-Spades}{8-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} and called when McDonald bet 600. Then he checked again with the turn showing {6-Spades}. McDonald placed in a second barrel, firing 1,800. Andrejevic paused for a moment and then tossed in 6,000, prompting a fast fold from McDonald.

Feshchenko Over Tuna

Level 3 : 150/300, 25 ante
Akin Tuna
Akin Tuna

In a three-bet pot between Akin Tuna in the cutoff and Daria Feshchenko on the button, the {J-Spades}{8-Hearts}{7-Spades} was checked to the latter. Feshchenko bet 2,100 and Tuna called before both players checked the {Q-Diamonds} turn.

Tuna bet 2,500 on the {9-Diamonds} river, a quarter of his remaining stack, and Feshchenko quickly called it off.

Akin Tuna: {K-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}
Daria Feshchenko: {A-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

Tuna's top pair was no good against Feshchenko's rivered straight, leaving Tuna with fewer than 25 big blinds.
