Anderson Picks Up Two in a Row

Level 3 : 200/400, 400 ante

Three ways to the {7-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} flop and Joni Joukimainen checked first to act and Bradley Anderson bet 2,100. The player on his left raised to 4,500. Joukimainen folded quickly and Anderson made the call.

The {k-Hearts} on the turn and the {k-Diamonds} on the river got checked by both players and Anderson tabled {a-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} which was good to take down the pot.

The following hand the under-the-gun player raised to 1,000 and Anderson three-bet to 4,000 next to act. The table folded back around to the original raiser who decided to let their hand go as well.

With 21,000 in the pot and {9-Spades}{3-Hearts}{10-Spades}{5-Spades}{q-Clubs} on the board, Susan Choi was all-in from the big blind with her opponent in late position covered.

Choi's opponent was deep in the tank with around 50,000 left when another at the player called the clock.

As the tournament director arrived, Choi clarified for all that she did not call the clock.

"That was not from me. I never call the clock. That's my golden rule."

Nevertheless, the tournament director counted Choi's opponent down and he ultimately folded.

Choi dragged another pot and her run at the top of the leaderboard continues.
