Hand #68 - Matt Woodward

It folds right around to Matt Woodward in the small blind, who thinks about it for a moment before just limping. Big blind Mikkelsen checks, and they see a flop.

Flop: {8-Hearts} {Q-Clubs} {A-Diamonds}

Woodward bets out 300,000, and Mikkelsen gives it up there and then.

Hand #69 - Mikhail Tulchinskiy

Dag Mikkelsen raises from the small blind to 360,000. Mikhail Tulchinskiy, looking every bit the Russian, matches the bet. It's another big and coordinated flop, {Q-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} {10-Hearts}. Mikkelsen quickly checks, drawing a half-pot bet of 360,000 from Tulchinskiy. Dag calls.

The deck and the dealer conspire to produce the {3-Hearts} on the turn. Both players check that card; the {8-Spades} then hits the river. Dag Mikkelsen bets 1.1 million and is snap-called, which can't be good for him. He shows down top pair, {Q-Diamonds} {4-Clubs}; Tulchinskiy has that handily beat with {J-Clubs} {10-Clubs}, trip tens.

Hand #71 - Matthew Woodward

Dag Mikkelsen raises to 240,000, a minimum raise. Matthew Woodward calls for a flop of {4-Spades} {5-Clubs} {7-Clubs}. Woodward checks. The ever-aggressive Mikkelsen bets 325,000. Woodward check-raises all in for about 3,375,000, a move that clearly is not what Mikkelsen wanted to see. It looks like he's doing math in his head now while the dealer cuts down Woodward's stack to get an exact total. After two minutes in the tank, Mikkelsen says, "Tight fold" and gives up his hand.

Hand #72 - Dag Mikkelsen

Second-in-chips Tulchinskiy opens for 350,000 under the gun, both Woodward and Mikkelsen call from the blinds.

Flop: {J-Spades} {9-Clubs} {A-Diamonds}

The blinds check to the Russian, who bets 650,000. Woodward gets out of the way, but Mikkelsen very slowly and deliberately makes it 1,450,000. Tulchinskiy sits back in his chair, considering. After a while, he passes.

Hand #75 - Pieter de Korver

Mikhail Tulchinskiy opened to 350,000. Pieter de Korver very quickly jammed all in for 1.4 million total, eliminating everyone but Tulchinskiy from the pot. He got a count from the dealer, then called.

Tulchinskiy: {k-Spades} {8-Diamonds}
de Korver: {a-Hearts} {9-Hearts}

It's another good situation for de Korver, made even better when the board runs out {2-Diamonds} {3-Spades} {10-Clubs} {6-Clubs} {6-Hearts} to give him the pot and the double-up.

Hand #76 - Dag Mikkelsen

Woodward limps in on the small blind, and then calls a raise to 320,000 from big blind Mikkelsen.

Flop: {2-Hearts} {2-Diamonds} {4-Hearts}

Woodward checks and Mikkelsen makes it 425,000. After a pause, Woodward calls.

Both players check the {Q-Clubs} turn, and they proceed to the {6-Spades} river. Woodward bets out 550,000, and Mikkelsen calls. Woodward flips the {K-Hearts} {10-?} for absolutely nothing, and Mikkelsen takes it down with the {A-Spades} {6-Diamonds}. Mikkelsen is over 16 million now.
