Lindgren Runs Down a Set of Treys

Roxanne Johnson

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

The player on the button raised to 600 and Erick Lindgren in the small blind and the big blind both called. The flop came down K♠6♠3♠ and Lindgren bet out 500. The big blind called and the button folded.

The turn brought the 9♣ and both players checked.

The river was the 4♠ and with that last scary spade both players checked.

The big blind turned over 3♦3♣ for a flopped set and Lindgren turned over 4♦4♥ for the rivered, higher set.

The blind player said, "Write that he ran down a set of threes."

Kirk Brown

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

The player in early position opened to 700 and was called by Sofia Lovgren in the hijack and Steven Veneziano in the small blind. The big blind also decided to come along and the four of them went to the flop of 4♦7♣3♣ which checked around.

On the turn Q♥, Veneziano led out for 1,600 and only received one call from Lovgren so the two went heads-up to the river 10♣.

Veneziano thought for a second before placing out a bet of 4,200 and Lovgren promptly folded to award him the pot.

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

In a pot containing around 29,000 with two players involved, the board already showed 5♠Q♥K♦J♥ when Giovanni Zanette bet 9,000 and Paul Guichard tanked a minute before calling.

The 7♣ brought a pair on the river and this time Zanette check-called Guichard for 6,700. The latter tabled A♣A♠ and it was good to take the pot as Zanette mucked his hand.

The hijack raised 600 before Eric Fields three-bet to 2,100 in the cutoff. Jake Schwartz was on the button and put in a four-bet to 5,500. The blinds quickly folded as did the hijack, but Fields didn't go anywhere as he made the call.

Both players checked to the river on the Q♣Q♠J♣8♠3♣ board and Fields checked once more to Schwartz who dropped a bet of 4,000 across the line. Fields didn't take too long before surrendering the pot.

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Alexandru Papazian opened 800 in early position and Jeffrey Tomlinson called from a couple of spots to his left before Matthew Beinner three-bet 3,600. Both Papazian and Tomlinson called.

All three players checked the J♦7♦6♣ flop to see the 7♣ hit the turn.

Papazian checked once more before Tomlinson dropped a red chip across the line for a bet of 5,000. Beinner called quickly and Papazian took a few extra seconds before doing the same.

The 2♥ landed on the river and the action checked to Beinner as he blasted 12,000 across the line, which was enough to drag the pot as both players cards hit the muck.

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

A player in middle position raised preflop to 800 and Erwann Pecheux in the cutoff and the player in the big blind came along for the flop. The flop came out K♥4♣A♦ and the middle position player placed a continuation bet of 900 and both players called.

The turn brought the 5♦ and the two players checked to Pecheux who placed a bet of 3,400. The big blind made the call.

Both players checked the river 3♠ and the big blind showed A♥10♥ and Pecheux turned over A♣Q♥ for the better kicker.
