Mickey Petersen Doubles Up

Team PokerStars Pro Online Mickey Petersen has started to rebuild his stack after doubling up through Jacques Quaiss.

The young Dane had opened to 500 from early position and when the action folded around to Quaiss in the cutoff he stuck in a raise to 2,000. Petersen then paused for a short while before moving all in for what turned out to be 5,950 in total. Quaiss quickly called and the cards were flipped over.

Quaiss: {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}
Petersen: {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}

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

Turn:{k-Clubs}

river:{a-Clubs}

With that Petersen doubles up but he still has plenty of work to do if he is to catch up to the chip leaders in this tournament.

Boeree's Wheels Coming Off

Liv Boeree didn't look too happy after Jason Wheeler took her off a hand on the river of an {8-Hearts}{j-Spades}{10-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} board.

She defended her big blind and then check-raised to 2,100 after Wheeler had continued for 750. He called and she went on to bet 2,800 on the turn, and 4,600 on the river. The Team PokerStars Pro had 18,500 behind after her river bet but was unable to call when the American shoved on her.

One Table Of Doom Breaks

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

With so many top class poker players in the field today there are many tables that we could give the "Table of Doom" moniker but there is one less in Hyatt's ballroom because Table 38 has now broken.

This was the home to Chris Moorman, David Sonelin, Ashley Mason, Adam Levy and Team PokerStars Pro Viktor Blom but now they have been separated and dispersed around the room.

Andre Vieira Andrade Takes On The Pro

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

Andre Vieira Andrade opened the betting with a raise to 450 from late position and found two callers in the shape of two talented individuals. First Yevgeniy Timoshenko called in the hijack and Athanasios Polychronopoulos came along for the ride from the big blind seat.

The dealer put out the {7-Spades}{6-Hearts}{9-Clubs} flop and after Polychronopoulos checked, Andrade came out firing with a continuation bet of 675 and it was enough to get the job done because his two high profile opponents folded.

Timoshenko and Romanovskyi In The Battle of Ace-High

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

From UTG+1 Roman Romanovskyi opened the betting with a min-raise to 400 and then called as Yevgeniy Timoshenko three-bet to 1,100. The pair shared a flop reading {6-Hearts}{4-Spades}{4-Diamonds}. Romanovskyi checked so quickly that he may have well checked in the dark and Timoshenko fired a continuation bet of 1,250 and Romanovskiy quickly called.

The turn was the {9-Clubs} and Romanovskyi instantly checked again, then as he had done on the flop quickly called when Timoshenko fired a second barrel worth 2,800. The river was the {2-Spades} and when Romanovskyi tapped the table checked Timoshenko checked behind.

Timoshenko: {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}
Romanovskyi: {A-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}

The pot is slid towards Timoshenko. He will possibly need those chips because Viktor Blom has just sat down to the seat to his immediate right.
