Aditya Agarwal Makes Them Fold

Level 3 : 75/150, 25 ante

We got to the table in the Miranda room to see Aditya Agarwal sitting in the big blind. The player in the cutoff position bet 375, the player on the button and Agarwal both called.

The flop came {J-Clubs}{3-Spades}{6-Diamonds} and Agarwal and the player in the cutoff both checked. The button bet 400 and Agarwal raised to 1,100. The player in the cutoff folded and the player on the button called.

On the turn, the {2-Spades} came. Agarwal bet 1,700 and the player on the button folded but showed the {J-Hearts}.

Taylor Paur Gets a Fold at a Tough Table

Level 3 : 75/150, 25 ante

At one very tough table in the Miranda room, Christopher Staats is in Seat 4, Mike Leah is in Seat 5, and Taylor Paur is in Seat 9.

Just now, Paur raised to 300 in middle position, Staats called on the button, and the big blind came along.

The flop was {9-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{2-Spades} and the big blind checked. Paur continued for 500, Staats folded, and the big blind called.

Both players checked the {4-Hearts} turn and the river was the {J-Spades}. The big blind checked, Paur bet 1,150, and the big blind folded. Paur picked up that pot and is just above starting stack.
