Mortensen Est Mort

Carlos Mortensen: [a]{2-}{3-}{5-}{k-}{2-}{3-}
Dee Tiller: {a-}{2-}{7-}{8-}{10-}{a-}{8-}

Carlos Mortensen had not long previous to this hand doubled through Dee Tiller, but Tiller got it all back again and in the process resigned Mortensen to the rail.

Carlos Mortensen got his last in on fifth street, and never got it back out again. By the end of the hand Tiller's ten low beat Mortensen's mere king low, and the former Main Event champion was sent hurtling toward the door.

Harman in the Lead

Jennifer Harman: (XXX) / {10-}{4-}{7-}{7-}
Jeff Madsen: (XXX) / {9-}{5-}{q-}{8-}

Jennifer Harman limped in on third street and called a raise from Jeff Madsen. They went heads up to fourth street. Madsen bet out on fourth and Harman made the call.

Harman was first to act on fifth and she bet out. Madsen called. Come sixth street Madsen was first to act once more and he bet out; Harman called.

They got to seventh street and this time Madsen checked. Harman bet, and it was enough to push Madsen off. He folded, and Harman picked up the pot without a showdown.

After that, Harman was up to a whopping 25,000.

All Aboard the Chiu-Chiu Train

David Chiu: {4-}{6-}{K-} / {A-}{7-}{7-}{5-}
Seat 7: (XXX)/{2-}{9-}{6-}{8-}
Seat 8: (XXX)/{5-}{2-}{9-}{8-}

A three-way pot was developing between David Chiu and his opponents when there was about 4,000 in the middle after sixth street. When Chiu received his down card, he bet 600 and was called by the player in Seat 7. Seat 9 thought long and hard before mucking.

Chiu revealed a 7-6-5-4-A low and Seat 7 tossed his hand into the muck. With that win, Chiu has broken the 20,000 chip mark.

Binger Binks

Michael Binger was in the process of winning a large pot with {a-}{4-}{5-}{6-}{7-}{q-}{k-} when we caught up with the action - those cards not in any particular order.

"I completed first to act with the queen," he was telling the next table most cheerfully as he bumped his stack up to 16,000. His opponent in the hand, who'd mucked, looked somewhat less cheerful than Binger.

Minieri Stack Shrinks

Dario Minieri: (mucked) / {8-}{8-}{5-}{k-}
Mr. Opponent: {5-}{7-}{j-} / {10-}{a-}{4-}{8-}

Dario Minieri's opponent bet on sixth street, and despite ordering Minieri to, "Fold! One time!" Minieri made the call.

Minieri's opponent bet again on seventh street and, undeterred, Minieri called again - only to muck to his opponent's 8-7-5-4-A low.

"We can just trade," said Minieri's very cheerful opponent, "I like you."

Minieri just grinned as he took a smallish hit to 13,200.
