Raise, Fold, Fold

It seems as though a simple button raise or all in is enough at the moment.

The player on the button has been picking up the blinds and antes over the past few orbits, as the remaining three players don't seem too interested in player any flops.

Level: 14

Blinds: 12,000/24,000

Ante: 3,000

We're Getting Short!

With only 840,000 chips in play and an average stack of 280,000 and an orbit costing 45,000 per round, the 'M' of the average stack is just a little over 6.

What does this exactly mean?

Basically each player has just an average of six orbits of play before their stack hits the felt.

So the pressure is on!

How Much To Donate?

The Tournament Director has just made an announcement about the previous winners.

In 2007, Dan Shak donated 100% of his winnings, while in 2008 John Hennigan also donated 100%.

Last years winner Alex Bolotin donated half his winnings, so the question for 2010 is how much will Alex Filatov, Phil Gordon or Shannon Elizabeth donate to this very worthy cause?

Back-To-Back Gordon

Currently Phil Gordon is in great shape to take down the fourth annual Ante Up for Africa.

Gordon is in good form in this event after final tabling last year before finishing in 6th place for a $30,760 payday.

Currently guaranteed $56,516, Gordon will be aiming for only one prize; the $130,641 first prize!
