Jais Negates Postional Disadvantage to Claim a Big One

Bruno Jais has taken down the largest pot of the tournament so far, and with it moved into second place in the chip counts.

The Frenchman raised to 165,000 from early position and was only called by Vadzim Kursevich in the cut-off. The flop came {8-Spades}{5-Hearts}{9-Hearts} and Jais gave up the initiative by check-calling a 180,000 bet. The river came a dangerous looking {4-Hearts} and yest again Jais checked. Kursevich upped the ante with a 450,000 but his opponent wasn't to be shifted and called again. The last card was the {a-Clubs} and both players checked.

Jais opponent {q-Clubs}{q-Hearts} and took the pot as Kursevich mucked.

Graydon Stops Shoving

Mick Graydon must be feeling a little more comfortable with his stack as he just opened a pot in late position without shoving.

This time he made it 135k and Vuong Than Trong flatted from the button.

They went heads up to the {a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} flop where Graydon followed up with a 160,000 bet and Trong let it go.

Graydon into Shoving Move

Mick Graydon came into today as the short stack and the only way to change that fact is to gain chips. He had little choice, with the size of his stack, to commit them all when he moved.

Twice he's had his stack in so far, and twice the shove has got through. The first time he three-bet all-in, and the second time he open shoved. He'll get called at some point but every little chip helps.
