Carlos Mortensen
Carlos Mortensen

Full Tilt Poker Red Pro Carlos Mortensen entered the pot from early position with a raise to 600.

After finding two callers to see a {K-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{2-Spades} flop fall, Mortensen continued for 1,000 only to have the big blind check-raise to 2,000. Mortensen responded by moving al in for roughly 8,500 with the big blind making the call.

Mortensen: {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}
Opponetn: {K-Clubs}{Q-Spades}

With Mortensen in dominating shape, the {8-Diamonds} and {5-Hearts} on the turn and river would ensure that the 2001 WSOP Champion doubled through to 19,100.

Tezay Finds Two-Outer

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

With a raise to 600 and a call ahead of him, Aytunc Tezay pushed his last 9,500 into the pot from the button.

The original raiser made the call as the cold-caller kicked his cards to the muck to see each player's holdings tabled.

Tezay: {6-Diamonds}{6-Spades}
Opponent: {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}

The board was spread {J-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} . . . {6-Hearts} to see Tezay spike a two-outer to stay alive and sit with his starting stack.

Score One for Johnson

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

Cash-game pro and former poker blogger Adam Johnson is making himself comfortable at the feature table. He opened to 500 from the hijack, and the button three-bet to 1,600. Johnson called, then checked the {10-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} flop. His opponent checked behind. The {10-Diamonds} on the turn paired the board and put a diamond flush out there. Johnson bet 2,800. His opponent got the bet he wanted and raised to 6,000. Johnson called. The {a-Diamonds} on the river scared both players. Johnson checked, and with a shrug, the button turned up his black kings. Johnson showed {j-Spades}{10-Spades} to take the pot. He's up to 28,000.

Ghezelbash Gone

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante
Ali Ghezelbash
Ali Ghezelbash

Catching the action on the river with the board reading {10-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{7-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}, Ali Ghezelbash found himself all in against Jann Suchanek.

Suchanek had tabled his {K-Clubs}{J-Clubs} for a straight, and an angered Ghezelbash mucked his hand, and made his way to the rail as Suchanek climbed to 44,000 in chips.

Sarwer Soars to Lead

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante
Jeff Sarwer - a happy man holding the lead
Jeff Sarwer - a happy man holding the lead

Evan Panesis opened the action to 525 with Jeff Sarwer making the call from the cutoff before Jann Suchanek three-bet to 1,900 from the small blind.

Panesis made the call, as did Sarwer, to see a {8-Clubs}{A-Clubs}{5-Hearts} flop fall and Suchanek continue for 4,200.

Panesis passed, but Sarwer made it 11,500 to go before Suchanek responded by moving all in for over 46,000. Sarwer instantly made the call for his 33,550 as the cards were tabled.

Suchanek: {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs}
Sarwer: {A-Spades}{8-Diamonds}

With Sarwer in tremendous shape to soar to the chip lead, the {8-Hearts} on the turn would render him only needing to fade one card in the deck to chop.

The {4-Spades} on the river wouldn't be it as Sarwer doubled through to 73,000 as Suchanek was left with just 13,000.
