It's extremely difficult for us to see or hear the action based on the television set. We're doing our best, but forgive the sure-to-be inaccuracies.
Akenhead Tests Mortensen
Level 2
: 300/600, 0 ante
On a flop of 
Carlos Mortensen made a bet of 2,500. He found folds from Barny Boatman and David Oppenheim, but James Akenhead decided to test Mortensen and put his entire stack in the middle, going all in for about 12,000.
Tony G got out of the way, and after some thought, so did Mortensen.
Mortensen Can't Take the Heat
Level 2
: 300/600, 0 ante
From the hijack, Carlos Mortensen made it 1,400. David Oppenheim, on the button, was the only caller.
Flop: 
Mortensen led out for 2,000 and was faced by a reraise to 4,400 by Oppenheim. Not to be outdone, Mortensen made it 3,400 more, for a total of 7,800. Oppenheim made the call and the turn brought the 
.
Both players checked to the river, which was the 
, and that's where the action was. Mortensen bet 9,500 and after quite a bit of thought, Oppenheim slide his whole stack, about 19,000 into the middle.
It didn't take long for Mortensen to fold, and Oppenheim took down the pot.

Mortensen's Roller Coaster Ends
Level 3
: 400/800, 0 ante
In what was quite a ride for Carlos Mortensen, he has gone from chip leader to our first casualty. He raised it up to 1,600 preflop, only to have David Oppenheim three-bet to 3500. Mortensen made the call, and the two saw a 
flop.
The action was checked to Oppenheim, who bet 4,100 before Mortensen slid the rest of chips into the pot. Oppenheim made the call, and the two revealed their hands. Oppenheim was in the lead with pocket jacks, and Mortensen would need some help with pocket nines.
Neither the turn, or the 
changed anything and Mortensen has made his exit.
Hansen Waves Goodbye
Level 3
: 400/800, 0 ante
Short-stack Gus Hansen has exited the building. He moved his 2,400 stack in the middle and Barny Boatman reraised to 6,400 to get everyone out of the way - and they did.

The flop came down giving Hansen a straight draw, but it wouldn't happen as the turn brought the

Akenhead Next Amongst the Casualties
Level 3
: 400/800, 0 ante
Barny Boatman raised it up preflop, getting a call from David Oppenheim and an all-in shove of 16,100 by 2009 WSOP November Niner James Akenhead. Boatman counted down his stack, and moved all-in as well forcing a quick fold from Oppenheim.
Boatman was in the lead with two black tens, but the two were flipping, as Akenhead held 
. The board rolled out 
and Akenhead was sent packing.
We're now down to five players, and it seems as if this group is happy to play big pots on every hand.
