Fechter Takes From Maudlin

Livello 10 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Trent Fechter bet 3,500 from the button which prompted a raise from David Maudlin in the small blind to 15,000 that Fechter called.

Maudlin down-betted to 11,000 on the flop of K♦J♣9♥ which was called by Fechter. The 5♥ turn got a check from Maudlin and Fechter opted to bet 20,100.

Maudlin counted out their remaining chips whilst Fechter was still as a statue. After about a minute Maudlin relinquished their hand and Fechter took in the pot.

Orio has the Right Stuf with Triple Up

Livello 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Chris Orio moved all in for 14,000 from the cutoff. The button moved all in covering all of the remaining players. The small blind also moved all in and also had exactly 14,000 along with Orio.

Chris Orio: K♠10♠
Small Blind: Q♦10♦
Button: A♥8♠

The button was ahead, but a king on the flop on the completed board of K♥7♥4♠Q♠9♦ gave Orio top pair which tripled them up and sent the small blind to the rail.
