Eastgate Has a Fan

Meanwhile on the next table, Michael Fratty bet out 40,000 on a {4-Spades} {7-Diamonds} {9-Spades} flop, only for Peter Eastgate to make it 140,000. To very brief applause from a single railer, Fratty folded.

Cody Back in the Game; Morante Even Less Happy

The Emo has a reason to smile.
The Emo has a reason to smile.
David Morante is really not happy about things now that he's doubled Jake Cody back up.

The chips went in preflop.

Morante: {A-?} {10-?} suited
Cody: {Q-Spades} {Q-Diamonds}

Board: {4-Hearts} {K-Spades} {5-Clubs} {2-Diamonds} {9-Clubs}

We wish we could have seen the respective expressions on their respective faces, because they were probably very noteworthy.

Cody's back up to around 1.7 million; we couldn't see how much Morante had left, but it wasn't very much.

Morante Doubles Up, Not Happy About It

Morante: morose
Morante: morose
On the second-last hand of the level, David Morante raised to 62,000, but Jake Cody reraised. Morante laid it down.

So on the last hand of the level, Morante raised to 62,000, and Cody reraised again, to 282,000. Back around to Morante, and this time he announced all in. An insta-call from Cody, and they were on their backs for Morante's tournament life, sucking up valuable break time.

Cody: {8-Spades} {8-Diamonds}
Morante: {Q-Spades} {Q-Hearts}

Board: {Q-Diamonds} {10-Hearts} {6-Clubs} {A-Diamonds} {K-Spades}

"You don't believe me?" growled Morante, who seemed genuinely angry despite just doubling up to around 1.5 million. Cody is left with perhaps 750,000.

Break It Up

Before we break some railers' noses. It's insanely crowded out there, so we're hoping some of the fans go grab a smoke and decide they don't want to come back. Either way, time for break. Back in 15.

Check/Fold It Out

The recent trend is the catchy preflop raise/call, postflop check/fold.

On Table 1, David Morante raised to 62k from under the gun, and Hugo Lemaire called. Flop {A-Spades} {K-Clubs} {J-Hearts}. Lemaire checked, Morante bet 76k, Lemaire folded. On to next hand.

On Table 3, Michael Fratty raised to 54k, and Timex called. Flop {K-Spades} {Q-Hearts} {J-Hearts}. Fratty bet out 110k, and Timex folded.

Back to Table 1. Jake Cody raised to 57k in the hijack position, and Alexia Portal looked him up from the big blind. Flop {J-Hearts} {4-Spades} {2-Diamonds}. Portal checked, Cody bet 67k, Portal folded. Fascinating, we know, but as the NYT says - all the news that's fit to print.

Timex Knows What He Likes

Mike "Timex" McDonald has decided that the ideal preflop raise is 55,000, and has not deviated from it yet. It is not deterring the big blind (24,000) from calling.

We witnessed him raise his lucky number from the cutoff and Khier Rezaik called. However, Rezaik checked the {3-Clubs} {4-Diamonds} {K-Clubs} flop and then insta-folded to a 62,000 continuation bet.

A few hands later and Timex raised to one million. Just kidding! He made it 55,000 under the gun and it folded right around to big blind Michael Fratty who made the call. They saw an {A-Spades} {8-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} flop and Fratty gave it barely a second's thought before betting out 68,000. Timex sat very still for a few moments, and then passed.

Caraba Still Climbing

First in from the cutoff seat, Teodor Caraba came in raising to 54,000. Hugo Lemaire was on the button, and he came along to a heads-up flop.

The dealer spread out {2-Clubs} {2-Diamonds} {5-Hearts}, and Caraba continued out with 70,000 more chips. Lemaire didn't waste too much time making a casual call, and fourth street brought the {Q-Clubs}. Not slowing down now, Caraba gathered 200,000 worth of redbirds and stacked them into the pot. Lemaire wanted to play for more, though. He cut the call out of his stack, then did some fiddling with a tower of red chips. Eventually, he slid 360,000 chips across the line, either leveling or miscalculating. That's not a legal raise, and the dealer made him add another 40,000 to his bet. Caraba called.

The {4-Diamonds} filled out the board, and Caraba passed. Lemaire shook his head and checked behind. Caraba tabled {A-Hearts} {2-Spades} for trip ducks, and his opponent slowly placed his hand into the muck.

Caraba has now built on his chip lead, moving up close to the 4 million mark.

Deeb Vs. Lemaire

Freddy Deeb and Hugo Lemaire saw a {5-Clubs} {4-Clubs} {6-Spades} flop and Deeb bet out 90,000; all good. Over to Lemaire on the button, though, who asked Deeb how much he had left - the answer was around 500,000. Lemaire raised to 220,000, and after a moment's facial contortion, Deeb passed.

By the by, since Peter Bosen busted, Deeb has been moved to the feature table.
