Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

There was a raise to 1,500 in the cutoff and Pedro Marques called on the button along with the big blind. The flop came Q♣10♠10♥ and the action checked to Marques who bet 1,200. The big blind folded but the cutoff called.

The turn was the A♥ and both players checked to the 3♠ on the river. The cutoff led out with a min-bet of 600 and Marques raised to 5,400. His opponent countered with a three-bet to 17,500 and Marques slid his cards to the muck.

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Jeff Platt opened to 1,200 from under the gun and was called by Ramon Colillas in the big blind. The flop fell 9♠8♣3♠ and Colillas checked to Platt who continued with a bet. Colillas check-raised and the two players quickly got all of the chips in the middle with Colillas being the player at risk for around 15,000.

Ramon Colillas: K♠8♠
Jeff Platt: A♥A♣

Colillas flopped a pair and a flush draw but Platt was holding the best pair. The Q♦ and 10♦ runout changed nothing and Colillas was sent to the rail.

Foxen Takes it on The Chin

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

On a turn reading 4♠6♣4♠J♠, Kristen Foxen placed a bet of 10,500 and was called by Eric Baldwin. Heads up, they saw the river peel a 10♣ and this time Foxen bet everything except for 1,200 chips she left behind. Baldwin raised her and she obliged by putting the rest of her chips in.

She showed the 3♥4♥ for flopped trips, but Baldwin showed the A♣4♣ for a better kicker with his four.

Foxen wished her opponents good luck and left the area but it would be no surprise to see her back in the fray shortly.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

John Hennigan was seen with all of his 21,100 chips in the middle and he was called by an opponent holding a bigger stack.

John Hennigan: A♥K♥
Opponent: J♥J♦

The flop came A♠A♦4♠ and Hennigan made three aces to take a big lead. Nothing changed on the turn or river and Hennigan managed to double up, possibly for the second time.
