Hand #79 - Matthew Woodward

Two players fold to Pieter de Korver in the small blind, who raises to 500,000. Big blind Matthew Woodward eyes de Korver's stack. He may be a bit confused by the unusual size of de Korver's raise (especially given how few chips de Korver is playing behind). Woodward finally moves in and de Korver calls.

Woodward: {k-Clubs} {j-Clubs}
de Korver: {9-Hearts} {9-Spades}

Woodward doesn't look happy but he couldn't have expected much more than a race in this situation. It turns out that de Korver has him barely covered by about 350,000 chips.

Woodward is in trouble after a flop of {7-Clubs} {6-Diamonds} {A-Hearts}. The {Q-Diamonds} is one card of a running combination that would stave off his elimination. A gasp goes up from the gallery as the second runner, the {10-Diamonds}, hits the river to give Woodward a Broadway straight and a double-up.

Hand #80 - Pieter de Korver Triples Up

De Korver pushes next hand for 345,000, apparently without looking at his cards, and both Woodward and Mikkelsen call in their respective blinds.

The two players check down the {6-Clubs} {8-Clubs} {4-Hearts} {3-Clubs} {10-Spades} board, and they all flip their cards.

Mikkelsen: {9-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds}
Woodward: {K-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds}
de Korver: {Q-Spades} {4-Clubs}

De Korver raises his hands above his head in victory, while his four wins the pot with top pair.

Hand #81 - Mikhail Tulchinskiy

Dag Mikkelsen completes the small blind after two players fold. Mikhail Tulchinskiy declines his option to raise. Mikkelsen bets 250,000 on a flop that comes down {Q-Hearts} {4-Clubs} {4-Spades}. Tulchinskiy calls.

The turn card is another baby, the {2-Diamonds}. Both players quickly check. They got another pair on board with {Q-Spades} river. Mikkelsen shows down king-high, {K-Spades} {8-Diamonds}; he loses to Tulchinskiy's ace-high, {A-Spades} {5-Diamonds}.

Hand #82 - Matt Woodward

Woodward raises it up to 360,000, and Mikkelsen smacks him with a reraise to 950,000. Woodward pauses for some time before four-betting all in -- and a snap-fold from Mikkelsen duly follows.

Hand #84 - Dag Mikkelsen

Woodward limps in on the small blind and big blind Mikkelsen checks.

Flop: {5-Diamonds} {A-Clubs} {9-Hearts}

Woodward bets out 220,000. Mikkelsen studies him intently, then calls.

Turn: {J-Spades}

Woodward checks and Mikkelsen bets 500,000 at him. After a moment's consideration, Woodward gives it up.
