Mickey Petersen needs to come from behind to win.

We caught up with Mickey Petersen and Alessandro Longobardi on a flop of {Q-Hearts} {3-Clubs} {4-Hearts}. Petersen checked, Longobardi bet and Petersen raised 15,000 more. Longobardi slid out 30,000 and Petersen shoved. Longobardi called and the hands were tabled.

Petersen: {Q-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds}
Longobardi: {6-Hearts} {5-Hearts}

The board completed {2-Hearts} {7-Hearts} and Longobardi's flush gave him the chip lead and left Petersen with around 130,000.

Update From Table 452

We found Craig McCorkell raise to 8,000 from the button. James Akenhead looked down at his cards and dipped into his stack to shove out a three-bet to 21,500. McCorkell counted out enough chips to make the call but opted to fold his hand instead.

Akenhead is currently leading the match on this table.

Levi Cracks Tehan's Tens

Joe Tehan had Nicolas Levi covered and the two got it all in before the flop.

Tehan: {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}
Levi: {9-Hearts}{7-Hearts}

Levi paired up on the {7-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{A-Spades} flop and hit his miracle two pair when the {9-Diamonds} fell on the turn. The {3-Hearts} rivered and Tehan was visibly upset at this turn of events. Tehan is now the shorter stack in this heads up battle.

Update on Table 457

Mickey Petersen raised to 8,000 from the button and Alessandro Longobardi called from the big blind.

The flop brought {8-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{A-Spades} and both players checked. When Longobardi checked on the {7-Hearts} turn, Petersen fired 8,000. Longobardi called and the river was the {5-Hearts}.

Longobardi checked a third time and mucked his hand when Petersen shot 14,000 into the middle.

Longobardi has the chip advantage as of now but that could all change in a single hand.
