Mikkelsen Takes a Hit; Loses Chip Lead

[user38449]

On a board showing {9-Spades}

, Michael Pesek led out with an 11,000 bet. Dag Martin Mikkelsen then kicked it up to 26,500. When action returned to Pesek he bet the pot, effectively moving all in for approximately 40,000 more, a bet which sent Mikkelsen into the tank.

After quite some time, Mikkelsen opted to lay it down, leaving himself with approximately 72,000 in chips. With the win, Pesek took over the chip lead, stacking up just over 110,000 in chips.

Winston Doubles Through Field

[user57954]

Josh "JJProdigy" Field opens the action with a raise to 8,000 and Roy Winston announces that he is all in. It's only 7,500 more to Field and he makes the call.

Winston: {Q-Hearts}

Field:

The flop comes {K-Spades}

and Field calls for spades as he looks for a backdoor miracle. The {5-Spades}

peels off to the "ooohs" of the crowd as Winston exclaims "Don't you do a spade...that would be rude!"

The river is the {10-Clubs}

and Winston cries out "You can't keep 'The Oracle' down!" as he doubles up to 31,000 chips.

Mikkelsen Gets Revenge; Doubles Up

[user38449]

Michael Pesek has been coming over the top of Dag Martin Mikkelsen's pre-flop raises all day, but this time, Mikkelsen showed some resistance and saw a flop:

{K-Diamonds}

Mikkelsen passed the first action to Pesek who opened with a 10,000 bet, to which Mikkelsen repsonded by re-raising all in.

"I'm pretty sure I have you," said Pesek, while he considered a call. "What do you have, K-10 or something?"

"Eh, I call," Pesek said, turning over {Q-Diamonds}

. Mikkelsen tabled the {J-Clubs}

for an open-ended straight draw.

The {J-Spades}

further improved Pesek's hand, giving him two pair, but the {A-Diamonds}

on the river was bad news for him, as it gave Mikkelsen the nut straight. After the hand, Mikkelsen reclaimed his spot atop the leaderboard with 138,000 in chips while Pesek dropped to about 88,000.
