Jacobson Pipped

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

Martin Jacobson, iPad already streaming the Super High Roller, has joined the tournament. However he just lost a few chips calling a 1,000 bet on the turn of a {10-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} board against another player.

Early days though.

Cody on the Up

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

After winning a large pot with kings, Team PokerStars Pro just picked up another pot to increase his chip stack.

Sorel Mizzi opened to 350 preflop and was called by Cody, Vladimir Geshkenbein in the small blind and Rasmus Vogt in the big blind.

The four saw a {A-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} flop which was checked to Mizzi who bet 800. Cody was the only caller.

On the {K-Hearts} turn, Mizzi checked and Cody bet 2,100. Mizzi, who had lost about half his stack already, opted for a fold this time, though it wasn't without some serious contemplation first.

Team PokerStars Pro Theo Jorgensen isn't doing quite so well as his fourth place finish here last year.

He check-called a bet of 2,000 on the turn of a {10-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} board against Mario Chiang Guanilo and then another 3,500 on the Ts river.

Guanilo turned over {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs} - too good for the Dane.

Finne Finds a Fold

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

Timothy Finne and two opponents took a flop of {k-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{7-Clubs}. The action checked to Oliver Price, who fired out 850, and Finne called. A third player check-raised to 2,325, and Finne called.

Finne check-called another 4,525 when the {8-Clubs} turned, and then check-folded to a 5,300 bet after the {7-Hearts} completed the board.

Cody Continues to Ascend

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

Team PokerStars Pro Jake Cody has continued his good start.

On the turn of a {4-Spades}{2-Spades}{J-Spades}{6-Hearts} board, he fired 1,300 after William Elliot had checked. Elliot called before also checking the {J-Hearts} river. Cody thought for a minute about betting before eventually checking back.

Elliot flipped {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds} but it was no good against the youngster's {8-Hearts}{8-Spades}.

A Bad Card for Jorgensen's Hand

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

Team PokerStars Pro Theo Jorgensen's unfortunate level continued with him leading out for 3,000 on a board of {j-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{a-Spades}{5-Hearts}. His opponent, Javier Etayo, called, and the {j-Clubs} completed the board. Both players checked.

"That was a bad card for me," the Dane sighed, showing {a-Clubs}{3-Clubs} for aces and jacks with a five kicker.

Etayo rolled over {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for aces and jacks with a ten kicker, raking in the pot.
