Lazar Coolers Opponent

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

A player in early position raised to 3,000 and there was a call before Scott Lazar three-bet to 15,000 on the button. Both players called.

On the A97 flop, the action checked to Lazar and he jammed for his remaining stack of about 18,000. The early position player splashed in his chips to call for about 15,000 and the third player got out of the way.

Early Position: AQ
Scott Lazar: AK

Lazar had coolered his opponent with his king kicker and the 4 turn and K river improved him to top two pair as his opponent left the table.

Runner-Runner Set For Yau

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Chipleader of her table, Cindy White limped in middle position. The player on the cutoff raised to 3,500, and he was called by Richard Yau in the big blind and by White.

All three players checked on the flop 9108. But on the 3 turn, Yau took the lead by betting 4,500. His two opponents called to see the river 3.

With a pair on the board, Yau made another bet of 7,000. White snap called, and the cutoff folded.

"Sorry," said Yau when he showed 53 for a set. In response, White simply mucked her cards, remaining above 200,000 chips.

Baldwin Susses Out the Bluff

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Eric Baldwin bet 1,500 on a 525 flop, and the big blind called.

The 4 turn slowed down Baldwin, and both players checked. The big blind took the lead on the river, betting 4,000 on th 7. Baldwin, who has experience navigating big fields with two bracelets and two circuit rings in large field events, performed several chip riffles as he talked himself into the hero call.

The big blind showed Baldwin's intuition was correct, turning over king-ten, and Baldwin's AQ was good for the win.

Sobash's Deuces Punch Above their Weight Class

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

An early position player got it all in for 24,000, and Sean Sobash said, "These have always worked for me," and called.

Early Position: Ax4x
Sean Sobash: 22

Sobash's prediction proved true as the board put out a lot of overcards to his deuces, but none that the other player needed, 7x8xKx10xJx, and Sobash scored the knockout.
