Carter Gill and Jacky Wang have been dancing a pas de deux today at a table near the front of the room. They were at it again just a few moments ago, with Wang opening from middle position for 2,800 and Gill calling from the button. Wang continued for 2,900 on a flop of ; Gill called to see the hit the turn. Wang's bet of 3,700 wasn't enough to shake Gill, as he called again. The river brought a check from Wang and a bet of 7,000 from Gill.
"Soul read Carter one time?" Wang mused aloud. He stared intently at the board and at Gill for about a minute before tossing 7,000 into the pot. Gill silently turned over , an airball. Wang showed for a pair of treys and the winner.
"Nice hand," said Gill.
"Figured it was the right time for it, right?" Wang asked. Uncharacteristically, Gill had no response.
Here’s something you don’t see every day. David Steicke open-limped the button. We weren’t sure if we were seeing things, but never one to doubt the powers of the great man, we took note and watched on. Sammy Huang smelt something fishy and folded his small blind as Ted Wang was lured in as he tapped the table in the big blind.
The flop landed and Wang led out with a bet of 1,500. Steicke made the call. The turn brought the to put four clubs on board and a check from Wang. Steicke toyed with his chips before sliding out 3,300. Wang deliberated for some time before making the call.
The river was the to now put four to a straight on board and Wang checked once again. Steicke gave a wry smile before seemingly tapping the table in resignation. Wang opened for top pair but the powers of Steicke were demonstrated as he tabled for a straight. Kids, don’t try this at home.

Antonio Martins began the day as the chip leader and while that isn't still the case halfway through the day, he is still in great shape.
We recently caught Martins in a hand against one opponent. By the time we were at the table, a flop was showing and Martins had checked to his opponent on the button. The player bet 11,300 and Martins then check-raised it up an extra 15,300. Martins' opponent wasn't keen to rumble any further and decided to let his hand go.

With a raise to 3,400 and an all-in shove for 32,000 in front of him, Chris Edgar looked down at in the small blind and re-raised to a total of 70,000. The early-position raiser thought long and hard before making a reluctant fold as Edgar found himself racing with the short stack’s .
Edgar didn’t hit a pair but the board gave him the king-high flush which was good to collect the pot and eliminate his opponent.

ANZPT Adelaide champion Octavian Voegele is the latest casualty from the APPT Cebu Main Event. We don’t have a lot of details, but Voegele was all in preflop with pocket eights against an opponent’s ace-queen.
The flip went the way of his opponent as the board ran out to pair the ace and send Voegele back to his hotel room.

Carter Gill and Jacky Wang have been rumbling much of the afternoon, but the two seem quite friendly in their poker battle. At this point Wang is doing far better than gill chip-stack wise, but Gill's stack is certainly healthy enough to scare at this point in the tournament.
Recently we arrived at the table and Wang and Gill were involved in a hand against one other opponent. All three players checked a flop and a was dealt on the turn.
This time Gill would bet 6,000 and Wang and the other player would get out of the way. At this point Gill flipped over an and him and Wang began chatting and making cracks at each other again.
