Winston Doubles Through Field

[user57954]

With all the money in pre-flop the cards were tabled:

Roy Winston: {A-Hearts}

Josh Field: {A-Spades}

The board of {2-Spades}

left Winston's aces in front as he collects a much needed double up!

01-13-2008 16:05 UTC+10

The players have tightened up a little over the last fifteen minutes or so as we head towards the heavy end of the payout tree. No one is desperately short so they are preferring to wait for a good spot to strike and commit their chips.

Roy Winston Doubles Up

[user38449]

Roy "The Oracle" Winston opened the pot with a 12,000 raise from the cutoff and was met by a reraise from Dag Martin Mikkelsen, who bet the pot. Winston made the 40,000 call and the flop came {Q-Clubs}

.

Mikkelsen studied the flop for a moment before quietly announcing, "Pot." Winston made the call and revealed {Q-Spades}

for a king-high straight. Mikkelsen flipped over {Q-Diamonds}

.

The {A-Spades}

fell on the turn, giving Mikkelsen additional outs to a full house or quads, but the {5-Hearts}

on the river locked up the pot for Winston, who now has over 150,000 in chips.

JJ Hazan Eliminated in 6th Place (AU$13,680)

[user57954]

JJ Hazan raised it up pre-flop to 18,000 and Michael Pesek announces a raise of the pot. It's enough to put Hazan to a decision for all of his chips.

Hazan says "I have one of the worst hi-lo hands in history, but it's going to win!" before making the call.

Hazan: {7-Hearts}

Pesek:

The board runs out {2-Hearts}

and Pesek scoops the high and the low to eliminate JJ Hazan in 6th place.

Josh "JJProdigy" Field Gets 1/4

[user57954]

David Bach and Josh "JJProdigy" Field got it all in pre-flop with Field playing for his tournament life.

Bach: {A-Hearts}

Field:

The board came {K-Hearts}

and Bach wins the low with his A-2 while both players split the high with A-4.

With Field only winning 1/4 of the pot, he is now the clear short stack on the table with a little over 20,000 chips.

JJProdigy Crippled

[user38449]

Josh "JJProdigy" Field opened the pot with a 21,000 pre-flop bet from under-the-gun plus one, leaving himself with just 2,000 behind. Dag Martin Mikkelsen called from the small blind, as did David Bach in the big.

"I'm folding if I don't hit," Field said.

The players were content to check down the board, which filled out {K-Clubs}

, and showed the following hands:

Field: {J-Spades}

Bach:

Mikkelsen: {4-Spades}

The dealer awarded the entire pot to David Bach, however, if our notes on the hand are correct, then Dag Martin Mikkelsen should've been awarded the half the pot with a A-3-4-5-6 low. There was a bit of confusion between the dealer and tournament director Mike Tarr as to which hands won the respective high and low, but in the end Bach was awarded the whole pot.

Strangely, neither Mikkelsen nor anyone else at the table spotted the error, and play has resumed.

Two Chips and a Chair

[user57954]

Josh "JJProdigy" Field was down to his last 2,000 in chips and all in on the big blind a few minutes ago. He has just won or chopped four or five pots in a row, improving his stack to now have around 40,000 chips to be back in contention!
