Ville, Von't He?
Ville Wahlbeck, currently well in contention for Player of the Year, has put himself in a slightly better position to make another final table.
Down to a below average 43,500 (average is at 77,000 now with 72 runners left), Wahlbeck reraised to a raise from Greg Mueller and they saw a flop. Mueller check-called all the way down the
board and mucked when Wahlbeck showed him pocket tens for the flopped set.
Wahlbeck is up to 60,000; Mueller meanwhile barely feels the loss, with his stack now resting at 160,000. -

Schulman Surges Ahead
We've finally had our first sizable pot of heads-up play. Ville Wahlbeck opened the button to 60,000, then called after Nick Schulman re-raised to 200,000. Schulman rapped pat before Wahlbeck took one card.
Once the draw was complete, Schulman led out for 260,000. Wahlbeck rubbed his forehead as he double-checked the card he received on the draw. He glanced up at Schulman briefly while absent-mindedly riffling his chips and trying to discern the correct action. After a minute he called. Showdown!
Schulman: 9-7-5-4-3
Wahlbeck: muck
It's a huge setback for Wahlbeck, knocking back almost half of his stack. -

Another Hit for Sung
The chips are becoming very evenly distributed around the table now. In fact, Steve Sung, chip leader moments ago, may now be in third place. Sitting in the big blind, he called a raise to 60,000 from Ville Wahlbeck. Both players drew one card.
After the draw, Sung led out for 100,000. Wahlbeck called with 9-7-6-5-4 and took the pot away from Sung, who flashed J-10-x-x-x. -

Schulman Recovers
It was a nine perfect for Nick Schulman that won a recent pot against Ville Wahlbeck. Wahlbeck opened the button to 45,000 and was called by Schulman in the small blind. Schulman drew one card; Wahlbeck took two. After the draw, Schulman led out for 80,000. Wahlbeck must have been suspicious; he called. But when Schulman showed down 9-5-4-3-2, Wahlbeck tossed his cards to the dealer.
