Elder Flowers

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Rupert Elder is over the 200,000 mark after winning a decent pot with {a-Clubs}{q-}. He saw a three-way flop of {q-Clubs}{j-Clubs}X where he was the only caller of a 9,000 bet. Both he and his opponent checked the {8-Clubs} turn to see the {q-Clubs} river, where Elder now faced a bet of 10,200, the Brit responded with a raise to 32,000 which was called. Elder tabled his {a-Clubs}{q-} and his opponent flashed the {k-Clubs} before mucking.

So Good They Named Him Twice

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Morten Mortensen, who finalled the EPT at Snowfest, started today with a below average stack of around 35,000 but has now boosted himself to about 100,000. He had seen his 14,500 bet on the turn of a {q-Hearts}{5-Spades}{8-Clubs}{q-Spades} board check-raised to 31,000 by Domenico Spinelli. Mortensen made the call and then Spinelli intriguingly checked the {7-Hearts} river, Mortensen did not check back however and instead bet 29,000 which was quickly called by the Italian.

Mortensen tabled {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} and Spinelli nodded and mucked.
