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.

Agerskov Makes a "Nice Call"

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

When we arrived at Table 7, Rasmus Agerskov checked to Jeff Sarwer on a board of {2-Spades}{6-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{j-Spades}. Sarwer bet 3,600 into a pot of around 5,000, and Greenwood tank-called.

The {j-Hearts} completed the board, Agerskov checked again, and Sarwer tossed out 8,200, which represented a very large portion of Agerskov's stack. The World Series of Poker bracelet winner tanked for the better part of two minutes, then finally flipped forward a single blue T5,000 chip.

"King-high," Sarwer announced.

Agerskov showed {9-Spades}{8-Spades}, then politely asked to see Sarwer's hand. Sarwer obliged, and the dealer turned over {k-Clubs}{5-Hearts}.

"Good call," Sarwer told Agerskov. "Nice call."
