Hand #95 - Pieter de Korver

Dag Mikkelsen, his stack seemingly on a permanent downward trend, opens with a raise to 380,000. Small blind Pieter de Korver moves all in and after Matt Woodward folds, Mikkelsen snap calls.

Mikkelsen: {10-Clubs} {10-Hearts}
de Korver: {j-Hearts} {a-Diamonds}

Oh my. It's a race. And de Korver has been running really good against Mikkelsen today. So nobody is surprised in the media room when de Korver flops two pair, {j-Spades} {k-Clubs} {a-Hearts}. Mikkelsen is looking for a queen or a ten, but they're nowhere to be found. Brick {4-Spades}, brick {2-Diamonds}. Mikkelsen can't get to the next break fast enough. By doubling up de Korver twice in three hands, Mikkelsen has given back all of the chips from his chip lead and has turned this back into a four-handed game that anyone could win.

Hand #97 - Matthew Woodward

Matthew Woodward raises to 360,000 from the button. Mikhail Tulchinskiy has shown a willingness to defend his big blind today and does so again here.

We get a flop of {8-Spades} {Q-Diamonds} {6-Hearts}. Woodward bets 475,000 after Tulchinskiy checks. Tulchinskiy then springs a trap (perhaps?) by check-raising to 1.2 million. Woodwards thinks, then thinks, then flat calls, drawing raised eyebrows from the assemblage.

The {4-Hearts} comes on the turn. Tulchinskiy leans back in his chair, scratches the back of his neck, and checks. Woodward quickly moves in his whole stack; Tulchinskiy just as quickly folds. By grabbing that pot he has grabbed the chip lead, something that was unthinkable about two hours ago.
