Flush for Song After Confusion

Level 6 : 1,500/3,000, 0 ante

After the floor was called to the table over a debate about who a certain card belonged on the deal, there was another controversy over a bet size being a raise or a call. After the initial confusion was eventually cleared up, three players saw a flop of {4-Clubs}{a-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}. Kevin Song bet on the flop and was called by both opponents.

The turn was the {2-Clubs}. Action was checked around. The river was the {a-Diamonds} and Song bet again, which folded out one of his opponents but got a call from the other. Song turned over the {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs} for the flush and took down the decent size pot.

Gregorich and Brown Win Without Showdown

Level 6 : 1,500/3,000, 0 ante

Mark Gregorich raised on the button and James Chen called in the big blind. On the {6-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{9-Spades} flop, Chen check-raised and Gregorich called. Chen bet the {3-Hearts} turn and Gregorich raised. Chen gave it up.

At the neighboring table, Toru Wakamatsu raised in the cutoff and Andrew Brown three-bet it on his left. The big blind came along, as did Wakamatsu, making it three to the {j-Spades}{2-Spades}{3-Hearts} flop. Brown bet and only the big blind continued. He check-called the {q-Spades} as well but waved the white flag on the {5-Diamonds} river with a check-fold.

Joe McKeehen
Joe McKeehen

Stephanie Nguyen found herself all in before the flop holding {a-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} against the {k-Spades}{q-Clubs} of Joe McKeehen. The flop would be good to Nguyen as it came the {j-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{7-Spades}. The turn was a hamrless {6-Hearts}. But the river sent her home as the {q-Spades} peeled off to give McKeehen the winning pair.

Hui Survives

Level 5 : 1,200/2,400, 0 ante
Phil Hui
Phil Hui

Phil Hui was already all in before the river with {q-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{9-Clubs} on the board. Eric Panayiotou checked from under the gun, Matthew Gonzales bet into the side pot, and Katherine Fleck thought a bit then folded.

"There's too much out there," Panayiotou declared, throwing in a call.

"Ace-high," Gonzales said with a shake of the head, showing {a-Hearts}{5-Hearts} when instructed to turn his cards over.

Panayiotou had better ace-high with {a-Spades}{k-Hearts} and Fleck lamented folding her pair. Hui took the main pot with {k-Diamonds}{q-Spades}.

Panayoitou Binks on Hui Again

Level 5 : 1,200/2,400, 0 ante

Phil Hui opened from early position and got action from Eric Panayiotou in the cutoff and Katherine Fleck in the big blind.
