Marking Cards

Director of Tournament Operations, Jonno Pittock, had to school table 43 on how to squeeze cards. Apparently, someone keeps creasing the cards with their nails. Jonno explained that it is a disadvantage to do so and that it slows down the action.

James Potter Doubles Up

On a flop of {Q-Spades}{8-Clubs}{4-Spades}, James Potter bet 700, Jani Pai Vilmunen moved all in for 4,000 and Potter called.

Vilmunen {7-Hearts}{9-Hearts}
Potter {K-Spades}{J-Spades}

The turn was the {3-Spades}, making Potter's flush and leaving his opponent drawing dead. The river was the {A-Diamonds} and Potter raked in the pot, increasing his stack to 24,000.
