Lockwood off to a Good Start

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

After a four way flop where the early position player, Tom Lockwood, raised, two middle position players called and a late position player reraised and the two middle position players and Lockwood came along for the ride.

The flop came AAQ and the middle position player bet and everyone called.

The turn provided the 2 and all players checked to the late position player who bet and Lockwood raised, the middle position players folded and the late position player took some time before he hesitantly folded.

Lockwood turned over the A8 for the trip aces.

Tran Triple Barrels

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

There was an open from early position to 600 and action folded to Michael Tran in late position who put in the cold three bet to 2,700. The remaining players folded and action was back on the original raiser who put in the call.

The 2910 flop landed and the early position player checked. Tran didn't waste too much time before putting out a bet of 2,200. His opponent made the call.

The 6 turn hit the felt and again the player in early position checked. Tran now sized up with a bet of 7,000. Again, the player in early position made the call.

The 7 landed on the river and one last time the player first to act checked. Tran wasted almost no time before stacking up the remainder of his chips and sending them into the middle. No sweat needed, as his opponent snap-folded and Tran was the recipient of a nice pot early in Day 1c.

Tetreault Makes Big Fold Against Ferrante

Level 3 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante
Damon Ferrante
Damon Ferrante

The players relayed the story about a hand that occurred a few hands ago where a middle position player raised, Greg Tetreault called preflop, and Damon Ferrante in the big blind reraised to 3,000. Everyone called to see the flop of Kx10x3x.

Ferrante took the betting lead and on the turn of 8x and the other two players called.

On the river 3x, the middle position checked, Tetreault bet 1,000, and Ferrante raised to 3,000. The middle position thought for a bit and folded and Tetreault had a gut feeling and took a while to make a decision and folded as well.

Ferrante showed KxKx for top full house, the middle position showed he had a flush, and Tetreault showed 10x10x for the lower full house.
