Chip Leaders Collide

Dan Smith put in a raise preflop, how much we're not sure as our access to the feature table is limited, and received a call from Mike "Timex" McDonald. The latter proceeded to call bets of 60,000 and 140,000 on the {J-}{9-}{7-} flop and {J-} respectively.

We didn't catch the river card, but we do know that McDonald called another bet, this time 273,000, only to muck when Smith rolled over {J-}{9-} for the nuts.

A Double Up for Jetten

Peter Jetten shoved all-in for 244,000 in the cutoff and Anatoly Gurtovoy in the big blind made the call.

Jetten showed {J-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} and Gurtovoy sighed in disappointment as he opened {7-Clubs} {7-Diamonds}.

Although the Russian still had a slight lead, the {3-Hearts} {A-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} flop gave Jetten both a straight draw and a flush draw, the {9-Spades} on the turn gave Jetten even more additional outs and the {K-Hearts} on the river completed his straight and Jetten doubled up.

We're on a Break

Level 12 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

The tournament is now on a 15 minute break. When we come back the blinds will go up to 8,000/16,000 with a 2,000 ante.

A Set for Tobias

Level 12 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Tobias Reinkemeier
Tobias Reinkemeier

Scott Seiver opened again with a bet of 30,000 in the hijack seat and was called by Tobias Reinkemeier on the button.

The flop brought {2-Diamonds} {J-Spades} {4-Clubs} and was checked by both players. The {5-Clubs} on the turn, however triggered some action as Reinkemeier bet another 30,000 and Seiver called.

The {Q-Diamonds} came on the river and Reinkemeier fired 100,000. Seiver gave it some thought and came up with the decision to make the call. Unfortunately for Scott it was a bad one as Reinkemeier opened {2-} {2-Clubs} for a set and although Seiver mucked his hand, the dealer opened one card which appeared to be a jack.
