Winter Gets Value-Owned

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Sean Winter
Sean Winter

In a heads-up pot on a board of 8?4?4? with around 30,000 already in the middle, Zak Lawson checked from the small blind and Sean Winter bet 6,000 on the button. Lawson called.

Lawson checked on the 3? turn and Winter checked back. Lawson checked once more on the A? river and Winter took some time before betting 15,500. Lawson quickly called.

Winter quickly showed AxJx before mucking as his opponent showed A?Q? to have the high roller outkicked.

Big Bet On The River For Lehner

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Benjamin Gilbert in middle position and Stefan Lehner on the button found themselves in what appeared to be a three-bet pot.

The dealer revealed 4?5?K? on the flop, where Lehner bet 2,900. Gilbert check-called. Then both players agreed to check on the turn 4?.

On the river came the Q?. And when Gilbert checked again, Lehner fired out a bet of 18,500. Gilbert took a second to think about this move but folded quite easily.

Becker Gets Back-Raised

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Johannes Becker
Johannes Becker

Johannes Becker raised to 1,200 from early position and Tom Rafferty called from the next seat over. The action then folded to the player in the big blind, who made it 5,500 to go.

Becker called before Rafferty decided to up the ante to 17,000 chips by back-raise four-betting. The big blind let his hand go and so did Becker, asking; "I show, you show?" before both players' holdings eventually reached the muck face down.

"That's what you can do when you have chips," Florencio Bunal chimed in from another seat at the table.

Up and Down for E-Tay

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Esther Taylor
Esther Taylor

There was a raise to 1,500 in early position which was called by David Cowling on the button and Esther Taylor in the big blind. The flop came 8?7?2? and the action checked to Cowling who bet 1,900 and only Taylor called.

The turn brought the 5? and Taylor led out with a bet of 6,800. Cowling called and the 4? completed the board. Taylor splashed in another bet of 11,000 and Cowling was forced to fold. Taylor opted to show the 9? as she raked in the pot.

On the next hand, Tony Gregg raised to 1,000 on the button and Taylor just called from the small blind. Assad Kamran three-bet to 10,500 from the big blind and Gregg folded. Taylor stuck in a bunch of chips and Kamran called off his stack of 28,500.

Taylor turned over A?Q? and was flipping against the 10?10? of Kamran. The board ran out 9?7?6?4?7? and Kamran's pocket pair held on to double up through Taylor.

Two Pair for Munroe

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Gavin Munroe raised 1,200 under the gun and he was looked up by both the hijack and the big blind.

The dealer fanned a flop of 10?9?2? and the big blind checked to Munroe who continued for 2,500. Only the hijack called.

The J? turn and A? river were both checked by both players. Munroe whipped his A?10? over for two pair and his opponent mucked his hand.
