Moving At A More Leisurely Pace

Vicky Coren and Juha Helppi have just started their match. Helppi wanted a little delay as he hadn't eaten since he had come straight from the Poker Million heat across town.

This match will probably be moving a bit slower.

Position The Key...

Veldhuis raises to 775 and Schwartz calls but then folds to the Dutchman's bet on a {A-Diamonds} {2-Hearts} {5-Clubs} flop.

Then Schwartz raises to 800 on the button, Veldhuis calls and then calls another 800 on the {Q-Clubs} {J-Spades} {3-Diamonds} flop, but folds to a 2,200 bet on the {3-Clubs} turn.

Use The Schwartz Luke!

Luke Schwartz is going for a major comeback, after picking up several pots to boost himself up to 7,700 he's just doubled up again.

Veldhuis: {5-Hearts} {5-Clubs}
Schwartz: {A-Spades} {K-Spades}

A board of {6-Clubs} {K-Clubs} {9-Spades} {2-Hearts} {4-Spades} means 'FullFlush' has bounced all the way back up to 15,400.

Game on...

Schwartz Doubles

Luke Schwartz moved all-in for his last 1,500. Veldhuis quickly called.

Schwartz: {Q-Diamonds} {5-Hearts}
Veldhuis: {A-Hearts} {J-Diamonds}

The flop came {K-Hearts} {6-Clubs} {Q-Hearts} but Schwartz remained unconvinced, "Bring on the turn!" he said...

The turn was the {Q-Clubs} and now Veldhuis needed a ten but the river was the {9-Hearts} instead and Schwartz now has 3,000 to Veldhuis' 37,000.

We're Jammin'

"Lexcellent..."
"Lexcellent..."
Luke Schwartz raises to 450, Lex Veldhuis reraises to about 1,600 but we found it hard to tell because Schwartz immediately pushed all-in for his 21,000 or so and Veldhuis called even quickler.

Schwartz: {7-Spades} {7-Clubs}
Veldhuis: {K-Diamonds} {K-Spades}

The board came {K-Clubs} {9-Hearts} {7-Hearts} {Q-Hearts} {5-Clubs}, both players making sets but Veldhuis was holding top set to win.

Schwartz has about 1,500 left which means Veldhuis has about 38,500 but the blinds are still 100/200.

Phoney War

A few raises but nothing major has happened.

A raise to 500 from Veldhuis was called by Schwartz but they checked the {10-Diamonds} {6-Spades} {5-Clubs} {7-Spades} {6-Hearts} board to the river where Schwartz bet 800 to win.

A couple of hands later and Schwartz raised to 450, which Veldhuis called. Veldhuis led out for 650 on the {K-Clubs} {Q-Spades} {J-Clubs} flop and Schwartz folded.
