A Return to Small Ball?

[user25067]

The tone of this match has turned much more methodical since Theo Jorgensen doubled back up through Sorel Mizzi. Instead of, "pot, re-pot, all in," it's been more like, "check, bet, call" as of late. Here's how the last three heads-up hands played out.

1. Jorgensen raised to 60,000 from the button and Mizzi called. The flop was {Q-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

{2-Clubs}

and both players checked. The turn was the {J-Spades}

{J-Spades}

and they checked again. The river was the {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

. Mizzi checked, Jorgensen bet the pot, and Mizzi folded.

2. Mizzi raised to 40,000 from the button, Jorgensen reraised to 120,000 and Mizzi called. A 150,000 bet from Jorgensen took it down on the {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{Q-Hearts}

{6-Hearts}

flop.

3. Jorgensen raised to 50,000 from the button and Mizzi called. The flop was {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

{5-Hearts}

. Mizzi checked, Jorgensen bet 80,000 and Mizzi folded.
