Yockey Gets a Fold

Livello 7 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 0 ante

Bryce Yockey raised from the hijack and was three-bet by the player in the small blind. Action folded back to Yockey, who called.

The small blind continued for a bet on the 4♦8♥6♥ flop and Yockey called.

Both players checked on the 9♥ turn; however, Yockey led out for a bet on the Q♣ river.

Yockey's opponent tanked for a bit before letting his hand go and Yockey collected the pot.

The action was picked up in a pot of roughly 20,000 on a board showing K♥7♠3♦5♥. A player from under the gun bet out and Kevin Song made the call in the cutoff.

The 7♦ hit the river and the under-the-gun player bet out again. Song put in a raise and his opponent reluctantly made the call. Song tabled 10♣7♣ for rivered trips and his opponent tossed his cards into the muck.

Livello 8 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 0 ante

Jesse Lonis opened the action from early position and both Brian Lieberman in the small blind and Yong Wang in the big blind made the call.

The flop came K♠8♠7♠ and Lieberman led out, which both Wang and Lonis called. The J♦ hit the turn and Lieberman bet again. Wang raised it up and only Lieberman called.

On the 4♣ river Lieberman checked and Wang tossed out a bet. Lieberman went deep in the tank, but after close to 30 seconds flicked in the chips for a call.

Wang tabled Q♠J♠ for the flopped flush and Lieberman rolled over K♥K♣ to show his top set was no good.
