Play The Board

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Our PokerNetwork reporter came to the felt with a flop showing {9-Spades}{8-Clubs}{7-Clubs} and Bruno Portaro leading the action in front of Tim English. The bet was 3,000 and English would make the call.

The turn card saw the {10-Hearts} fall and another bet from Portaro, this time 3,500. English made the call to see the {6-Clubs} roll off on the river and make a straight on the board.

Portaro would lead out again for 5,500. English thought for a few moments before making the call.

Portaro tabled his {a-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} and English his {10-Clubs}{q-Spades}, with both of them playing the board.

"Couldn't make you believe i made a flush!?", Portaro said laughing.

They chopped the pot, each winning half a blind.

Jack Of Justice For Judah

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

When play folded around to the cutoff he raised it to 4,700 whereby the dealer button moved allin for aroun 20,000. With the play now on Mel Judah in the big blind he too would move allin for his remaining 13,400.

The decision was back on the cutoff who had both players covered and he went into the tank, trying to work out if it was worth the call. He eventually folded and the other two players would turn their hands over.

Judah: {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}
Button: {a-Clubs}{a-Spades}

It wasnt looking good for Judah but when the flop came {k-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{10-Spades} there was some hope for Judah as he yelled for a jack.

The {3-Clubs} on the turn was no help but the {j-Diamonds} on the river would be Judah's savior as he manages to double to around 27,000.

Ace-King Is Good

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 100 ante

Tim English raised to 2,800 from under the gun and sent the action flying all the way around to the button as all the others got out of the way.

The player on the button had other ideas though as he moved his stack allin. English would make the call, his stack looking very similiar in size to his opponents.

Button: {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}
English: {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}

The board ran out {k-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{6-Spades}{a-Spades} and when they counted the stacks out English had the player covered by a few hundred.

As English's opponent made his way to the rail mutters of anger at ace-king could be heard. Apparently ace-king never works for this guy so how does it work for anyone else? Well, it worked for English as he soars to over 50,000.

Main Event Last Year, Bounties This Year

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 100 ante

This time last year Frederik Jensen was in the same position as the current Main Event final tablist, sitting with only a few remaining with a huge score in sight. In 2010 Jensen hasn't been so lucky but if he can manage to continue surviving today he may still be able to take another gold ring.

Jensen raised from middle position and play then came to Ash Gupta who three-bet to 2,700. Jensen then four-bet allin and put the decision to Gupta.

Gupta ended up folding and kept Jensen in the game. Jensen currently has around a 20,000 chip stack, half of the average but still alive.
