Fast Turns Broadway

Level 1 : 75/150, 0 ante

From big blind, Dietriech Fast checked the {J-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{K-Spades} flop and Chris Vitch fired 500 in the hijack. Another player folded in the cutoff but Fast stuck around, calling.

The turn fell {A-Clubs} and Vitch checked back to see the {2-Hearts} complete the board. Fast led out 750 and Vitch tossed in a call.

Fast rolled over {Q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for turned nuts and Vitch mucked his hand.

Good Start for Mo

Level 1 : 75/150, 0 ante

On a raised pot the flop was showing {2-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} when Weiyi Mo check-called her opponent's bet for 550. The turn brought a {k-Diamonds} and went check-check. The river {j-Diamonds} brought no more action and Mo tabled {j-Hearts}{10-Spades} for a pair of jacks, which was good to make her opponent muck his hand.

Mo, who recently final tabled Event #57: $1,000/$10,000 Ladies No-Limit Hold'em Championship, had now a stack around 62,000.

The Frog versus The Bunny

Level 1 : 75/150, 0 ante

The always jovial Eyal Bensimhon has draped himself in his trademarked pink bunny hood again. He also brought out the frog version, and right-hand neighbor Alan Bittikofer decided to put on the frog hood for a few hands. As could be expected, the two tangled right away.

It was the frog that'd draw first blood from the bunny. Bittikofer check-called 4,500 on a {4-Clubs}{8-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} board from Bensimhon before the {9-Hearts} river went check-check. Bittikofer showed {10-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} for two pair and Bensimhon mucked.

Pons Going Up

Level 1 : 75/150, 0 ante

The player in the nine-seat raised to 350 and the player on the button called, as did Fernando Pons from the big blind.

The flop was {8-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{9-Hearts} and they all checked. The turn was the {5-Spades} and Pons bet out this time with a bet of 575. Only the initial raiser called. The {2-Spades} completed the board and Fons took down the pot by betting 750.
