White's Pocket Pair Good Enough to Win Three Way Showdown

Level 3 : 200/400, 400 ante

Frank Bastow led from under the gun for 800. The hijack raised to 1,800. Nell White, from the button, made the call, as did Bastow. The table went three-handed to the flop, which came out {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{q-Hearts}. Action was checked through.

The turn came {4-Hearts}. Bastow led for 2,200. The hijack and White both called.

The river came {2-Diamonds}. Action was again checked around, at which point White showed his {9-}{9-}. Both opponents mucked their hands, giving White the pot.

Stephens Gets Trips And Gets Paid

Level 3 : 200/400, 400 ante
Marty Stephens
Marty Stephens

Marty Stephens raised a board of {3-Hearts}{3-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds} from the hijack after his opponent made it 6,000 to go. He pumped it up to 15,000 and got the call.

They were heads up to a {j-Spades} river and Stephens sent a green 25,000 chip into the pot. His opponent said ''I think we have the same hand'', and called Stephens bet. He was not right this time and Stephens turned over {3-Clubs}{5-Hearts} for flopped trips.

''Nice hand sir'', his opponent said with perhaps a hint of sarcasm. The man from Oregon moves close to the 100,000 mark after that big pot.

Casey Makes Early Knockout

Level 3 : 200/400, 400 ante

The chips were in the middle on a board of {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{3-Spades}{a-Spades}. The at-risk big blind tabled {q-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} for aces and queens, but Billy Casey rolled over {a-Clubs}{5-Spades} for trip aces to scoop in a large pot and eliminate his opponent.

Casey immediately took a photo of his stack and shared it with his virtual rail.

Eget's Third Barrel Scoops Pot

Level 2 : 200/300, 300 ante

Preflop action landed on Barrie Eget on the button after the hijack and cutoff called the blinds. Eget raised to 1,600. Both blinds folded, but each of the limpers called, coming along to see the flop, which read {8-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{9-Hearts}.

The table checked to Eget who continued, now for 3,200. After a hesitant call from the hijack, the cutoff got out of the way, leading to heads-up action on the turn, which came {q-Spades}.

The hijack again checked to Eget, who fired his third and largest barrel yet, pushing 5,300 into the middle. The hijack quickly released his hand, giving Eget the pot.

Coordinated Board Doesn't Scare Off Stewart

Level 2 : 200/300, 300 ante

Scott Stewart was facing a 15,000 chip bet from the button on a dynamic board of {k-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}. With already 8,000 in the middle, he chose to call the large bet and showed down his {j-Hearts}{9-Hearts} for Broadway, to which his opponent said ''Nice call'' as they mucked their holding.

PokerNews staff noticed he won a couple of other big pots as the next few hands went Stewart's way. That will have put him among the early chip leaders.

Diaz's Flop Raise Takes Down Five-Handed Pot

Level 2 : 200/300, 300 ante

The under-the-gun player led out for 600 and the player to his left called. Action folded to Roger Diaz in the cutoff, who also called. The button and big blind flatted as well, making it five players to the flop, which came {10-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}.

A continuation bet from the under-the-gun player came in to the tune of 1,100. His immediate left again called, bringing action back to Diaz. After a moment, he tossed in a red 5,000 chip and announced his raise to 4,500. This barrel was too large for the rest of the table, as all four players quickly folded, giving Diaz a nice early pot.
