Madan Closes the Door on Brightly

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Holly Brightly got her last 6,000 all in preflop and found herself in dire straits against Ian Madan.

Madan: {a-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}
Brightly: {a-Clubs}{7-Spades}

Brightly had a kicker problem but it got resolved on the {5-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{6-Spades} flop. Unfortunately for her, her lead was short-lived as the dealer burned and turned the {10-Spades} to give Madan the lead.

The {3-Spades} turn was of no consequence and Brightly headed for the exit while Madan was pushed the pot.

Madan Flushes Harada

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

The preflop action escaped us but we do know that Roger Harada got his stack of 13,000 all in preflop and was at risk against Ian Madan.

Madan: {6-Clubs}{4-Clubs}
Harada: {a-Diamonds}{2-Spades}

Harada was ahead and paired his deuce on the {j-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} flop. The {2-Clubs} turn improved Harada trips, but it also gave Madan a flush draw. It came in too when the {8-Clubs} spiked on the river to send Harada to the rail.

Harada Doubles Through Brightly

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante

Holly Brightly opened with a raise and wound up calling a three-bet jam to 11,000 from Roger Harada.

Harada: {a-Spades}{10-Diamonds}
Brightly: {q-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

The {3-Hearts}{5-Spades}{a-Hearts} flop made things interesting by giving Harada top pair and Brightly a flush draw. The {10-Clubs} turn improved Harada to two pair, and he shipped the double when the {4-Diamonds} bricked on the river.

The Ladies Love Sweigard

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante

An under-the-gun player opened for 1,400 only to have Greg Sweigard three-bet to 3,500 from middle position. Action folded back to the UTG player and he called to see an {8-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{8-Hearts} flop, which he checked.

Sweigard moved all in for his last 10,400 and the UTG player thought for a bit before making the call.

UTG: {4-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}
Sweigard: {q-Diamonds}{q-Spades}

Sweigard was way out in front and stayed there when the {9-Diamonds} peeled off on the turn followed by the {6-Spades} on the river.
