Nelson Up and Down

Lee Nelson has been pretty active so far.

We caught him in action in two hands recently.

The first one involved a sizeable pot that we caught on the river. Nelson's opponent had just fired 2,600 at the {2-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{j-Spades} board.

Nelson made the call and mucked upon seeing the opponent's {A-Clubs}{3-Clubs}.

Nelson would get all of chips in the middle the next hand on a {9-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{7-Clubs} flop holding {k-Clubs}{2-Clubs} against the {Q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} of his opponent. Nelson was hoping to his flush, but got their the long way with the {k-Spades} hitting the turn to give him the lead, and a {2-Spades} completing the board and giving Nelson two pair.

He's up to 9,100.

Colman Finds a Double

Neil Channing raised to 225 from the hijack seat and Martin Comer made the call in the cutoff. Action folded over to Julius Colman in the big blind and he raised all in for 2,225 total. Channing folded, but Comer called.

"Let's gamble!" said Comer as he tossed in the chips.

Comer revealed {A-Hearts} {7-Hearts}, but was dominated by Colman's {A-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds}.

The board ran out {Q-Hearts} {8-Spades} {7-Spades} {A-Spades} {5-Spades} and Colman doubled to 4,725. Comer dropped to 3,900.

Phillips Takes One Out

Carter Phillips has finally been able to catch some good vibes. He just moved his chip stack up to 8,650 after busting a player on the following hand.

Phillips raised to 275 from middle position and action folded to the small blind who made the call. The two players saw a flop of {J-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} {7-Clubs} and the small blind fired 900. Phillips fired all in for 5,900 and the small blind snapped off his last 1,300 chips.

Phillips rolled over {A-Spades} {J-Spades} and his opponent gave a disgusted look turning up his {K-Spades} {J-Diamonds}.

The turn was the {Q-Diamonds} and Phillips has a brief thought that things could go wrong here. "Don't do it," he said.

The river card didn't do it when the {6-Spades} landed, keeping Phillips in the lead. He was able to bust the player and gather in the pot.

Not So Lucky Chewy

The Aussie Millions is a happy hunting ground for Stewart Scott

Andrew "luckychewy" Lichtenberger won't be taking the down rebuy tournament this year, he's out.

Lichtenberger clashed with defending Main Event champion Stewart Scott. We caught action on the turn with the board reading {Q-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{7-Spades}{2-Diamonds}.

Lichtenberger fired out 1,600 on the turn with Scott raising to 3,300. Lichtenberger made the call and the river was the {4-Diamonds}.

Lichtenberger moved all in with Scott quickly calling and tabling {Q-Hearts}{Q-Spades} to cooler Lichtenberger's {2-Clubs}{2-Hearts} with a bigger full house.

Lichtenberger exits, while Scott continues to be chipleader.

Warne Flushes Out Opponent

Shane Warne is relaxed and confident today
Shane Warne is relaxed and confident today
Shane Warne continues to chip away eliminating yet another opponent after flopping a flush.

Warne was holding {A-Clubs}{9-Clubs} on the {2-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{10-Clubs} flop and check-called a 500 chip bet from his opponent. On the turn {j-Hearts} Warne bet 500 which the opponent called and they moved to the river {2-Diamonds}.

Warne must have sensed some confidence from his opponent because he went for the home run (or is six more fitting here?) moving all in. The opponent though for a few moments before making the call for his stack and mucking upon seeing Warne's hand.

Warne is up to 16,000.

Lee Nelson Runs Good

Lee "Final Table" Nelson
Lee "Final Table" Nelson
Tournaments always have an element of right time and right place in them. That time was right for Lee Nelson recently.

Nelson found {A-Hearts}{a-Clubs} up against {k-Spades}{k-Clubs} and {K-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} in a three way all in situation.

The board ran out {6-Spades}{2-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} to move Nelson to 11,500.
