Tureniec, Obrestad Chip Up the Easy Way

[user75032]
[user75032]
The easiest way of chipping up is getting your opponents to fold before a flop even comes out. Michael Tureniec took advantage of his button by reraising to 1,500 after the cutoff player made the initial raise to 500. Tureniec's reraise was enough to fold everyone and get all of the chips.

Annette Obrestad had similar success by putting in the first raise preflop. Nobody wanted to play, prompting Obrestad to flash pocket kings. Peter Hedlund, sitting to her left, flashed a look of mock surprise.

"You won with kings?" he asked Obrestad. "I've lost all my kings so far."

Mergioti and Acquisitions

Five players made it to a {7-Clubs} {6-Diamonds} {A-Diamonds} flop, and it checked around to Maurilio Mergioti who bet 400. To his immediate left, Alex Kravchenko nursed a snifter of brandy and raised to 1,200; one other player called, as did Mergioti.

Come the {7-Spades} turn, though, Mergioti just shoved for a lot more than the pot -- perhaps 10- or 15,000. Kravchenko and the third player looked bemused, and passed.

Hungry?

[user75032]
[user75032]
We're starting to get hungry in media row so we thought it'd be a good idea to make some inquiries about dinner. It turns out that dinner plans aren't all that simple. Sending 350-400 people to dinner at once isn't feasible given the facilities here. Therefore, at the start of the next level, one-third of the field will be sent to dinner while the other two thirds play Level 5. When the first third comes back, the second third will be sent to dinner (and, we presume, the tournament will play two different levels simultaneously -- the first third playing Level 5, the last third playing Level 6). Finally, the last third will be sent to dinner while the first two thirds of the field play Level 6.

At the end of it all, the whole field will be back in action together for Level 7.

Fohrenbach Doesn't Want to Show; Doesn't Have To

Is allowed to muck
Is allowed to muck
Richard Fohrenbach has lost most of his chips on a {K-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} {3-Hearts} {3-Spades} {4-Hearts} board. His opponent, who had bet the river, turned over {6-Hearts} {6-Diamonds} and Fohrenbach mucked. His opponent though was most unhappy -- he wanted to see Fohrenbach's hand, claiming that at the PCA he'd been allowed to demand to see a player's hand who had called on the river, but Fohrenbach didn't want to show, and Thomas Kremser had to be called over to verify that Fohrenbach was allowed to just muck.
