Jamie Pickering opened for 800 from early position and Nick Wong called from the button. Zane Ly then three-bet to 2,200 from the small blind, Pickering four-bet to 6,800, and Wong got out of the way. Ly tanked for a bit before making the call and then checked the 
flop. Pickering tossed out 8,500, and Ly tank-folded.
Not much of a hand, but it gave us a good excuse to update you on their counts.
Jeff Madsen opened to 600 from middle position and Yu Kurita three-bet the button to 2,400. Once the blinds folded, Madsen deliberated for a few moments before dropping in the majority of his chips to amount to a four-bet of 11,600. Kurita pushed all in and Madsen made the call for his 12,500 total.
Kurita: 
Madsen: 
With Madsen trailing, the 
flop didn't connect with his holdings, but when the 
landed on the turn he took the lead.
The river landed the 
and the American doubled to over 25,000 as Kurita slipped to roughly 47,000 in chips.
Corey Kempson raised to 700 and got called by Brian Rast as well as the player in the small blind. On the 
flop everyone checked and Kempson then bet 1,300 on the 
turn. Both his opponents called and the

On a flop of 
both Yu Kurita and Jackson Zheng committed 7,000 each as the 
rolled off on the turn.
Kurita tossed in 11,000 and Zheng quickly folded to concede the pot to the Japanese player.
A player in late position raised to 650 and then called when Brendon Rubie raised to 1,500 from the cutoff.
"Both check for hearts?" Rubie asked his opponent when the flop came down 
. An affirmative was given and Rubie responded, "Ok... go."
Indeed, both players took a moment to recheck their hole cards, and then the late-position player check-called a bet of 1,500. He'd check-call another one of 3,400 on the 
turn before both players checked the 
river. The late-position player revealed the for jacks and fives, and it was good as Rubie sent his cards to the muck.
Jeff Rossiter opened for 750 under the gun and was met by a three-bet to 2,225 from Toan Nguyen in the cutoff. Antonio Esfandiari flatted from the button, the blinds both folded, and the flop came down 
. Two checks put action on Esfandiari, and he fired out 2,700.
Rossiter paused for a moment before check-raising all in for 19,500, and that proved more than enough to get both Nguyen and Esfandiari to fold.
Suzy Khoueis' table recently broke and she found herself sharing a table with her brother Sam Khouiss.
Following a raise to 700 and a call, Khoueis raised all in for her last 1,675 with the initial raiser giving her some protection by making it 3,700 to force the player in the middle to fold.
Khoueis: 
Opponent:
With Khoueis packing her belongings, her brother Sam said, "Where you going? The ace is coming!"
The dealer spread a 
board to see Sam's premonition come true as Suzy doubled to 4,500 in chips.
Following a hijack raise to 600, Steven Zhou moved all in for 5,450 from the small blind. The original raiser contemplated for a few moments before making the call.
