Linda Iwaniak Scoops One

Linda Iwaniak raises to 300 preflop from middle position and the player next to her calls. Everyone else folds and action is heads up.

The flop is  Kc Js 2h and Iwaniak bets 400. Her opponent thinks for a short time before calling. While that is happening, a discussion breaks out around the table about how players are seated, as a new player joins the table in Seat 1.

The turn is the 3d and Iwaniak bets 600, and her opponent instantly folds. As Iwaniak is stacking her chips, she turns to the new player and says, "You spend all that time building an image, and then they break your table!". Thankfully for Iwaniak, this is unlikely to happen to her today, as players are breaking into the Brasilia Room, not out of it.

Linda Iwaniak - 7,000

Ger Smyth Stacking Chips

With both the small blind and the big blind not at the table, action folds to a player in middle position, who limps in. Ger Smyth debates raising but elects to just limp behind from the cutoff. The button folds, and action is heads up to the flop.

The flop is Kh Kd 7s and both players quickly check. The turn is the Ad and the other player bets. Smyth quickly calls, and the pair see the 7h arrive on the river. Again, both players quickly check, and Smyth, a player who has traveled from Ellesmere Port in the United Kingdom, shows Ac 10c, enough for his opponent to muck his hand and send the pot in the direction of Smyth.

Ger Smyth - 6,500

Simon Lawlor Back to Starting Stack

In a blind-on-blind hand, there is 650 in the pot and the board reads Js Jc 3c. Simon Lawlor is in the big blind and faces a bet from the small blind. He calls, and the pair then both check the 10c on the turn.

The river is the 8s and the small-blind player bets 700. Lawlor tanks, commenting, "I have three jacks...," before sighing and calling. His opponent taps the table in defeat, and Lawlor shows Jh 9s to take the pot, putting him back to today"s starting stack of 5,000.

Simon Lawlor - 5,000
