Tyler Boyer

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 0 ante

Jin Park limped in from middle position, before Quoc Le raised to 1,200. He was called by the big blind Q Le, and Park called as well.

After the 8♥J♥4♦ flop, action was checked to Le in the hijack, who bet out 1,500. Le in the big blind folded, and Park made the call.

After the 8♥ on the turn Park led out for a bet of 2,000, which Le called.

The river brought the K♦ and Park fired out 6,000, and Le raised to 20,000. After sitting in the tank for over three minutes, Park eventually found a fold and showed 4♠4♥ for a set of fours as he tossed his cards in the muck. Le then tabled K♠7♠ for just a pair of kings as he took in the pot.

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Action was picked up with Nick Phoenix all in for 4,900, and Albyn Bello calling to put him at risk.

Nick Phoenix: K♦J♦ All in
Albyn Bello: 5♥4♥

Phoenix was short so Bello made the call with his small suited connector, but once the board ran out A♥9♣7♠8♠7♥ the king high of Phoenix was still best, to give him the double up.

Salvatore Plays Queens in an Interesting Way

Tyler Boyer

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Vince Salvatore limped in from under the gun, and when it folded to the the player on the button, he limped as well. Then Ronald Miller raised to 2,100 in the small blind, and after the big blind folded, Salvatore made the call. The button folded to leave the players heads up.

Both players checked after the 9♣A♦7♦ flop, which brought the 5♥ on the turn. Miller then bet out 2,100 which was called by Salvatore.

Both players checked the J♠ river. Salvatore turned over Q♠Q♦ which shocked Miller, who jokingly said "You play queens like that?" as he tossed 10♠10♦ in the muck. Salvatore laughed and said "It was ill-advised, and now we see why".
