A Few Counts

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

One for Moorman, One for Hei

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

Lam Man Hei and Chris Moorman are sat next to each other and tangling in some pots. The count was one each while PokerNews was there.

Moorman opened from under the gun and the action folded all the way around to Hei in the big blind who called. The flop fell {4-Spades}{7-Clubs}{7-Hearts} and Hei check-called a 675 c-bet. That was as much heat as Hei could stand as he check-folded to a 1,550 bet on the {9-Hearts} turn.

Two hands later the two had made it to the river with around 9,000 in the pot. The board read {a-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{6-Spades} and Moorman checked from the big blind to face a 5,550 bet. He called and mucked upon seeing Hei's {a-Spades}{8-Diamonds}.

No Shorr Thing

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

At the ridiculously stacked table downstairs (which includes Jude Ainsworth, Daniel Rudd, Team PokerStars Pro and Martin Jacobson) Shannon Shorr and Andrew Chen have been sparring.

Shorr had check-called a bet of 1,800 on the {A-Clubs}{8-Spades}{3-Hearts} flop before both players checked the {2-Clubs} turn. The {A-Hearts} came on the river and Shorr led for 4,000 but was instantly called by Chen, the former mucked but Chen showed {A-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs} anyway.

"Did You Flop a Set?"

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

Thomas Muhlocker came in for a raise in middle position, and Irishman John O'Shea three-bet to 2,300 from the small blind. Muhlocker made the call, and the dealer fanned {5-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{j-Hearts}. O'Shea checked, Muhlocker fired 2,800, and O'Shea made the call.

The {4-Diamonds} turned, both players checked, and the {6-Spades} completed the board. O'Shea led out for 6,200, which was good enough to win the pot.

"Did you flop a set?" a player asked O'Shea after the hand. "I had jack-ten."

"Hard for me to flop a set if you had a jack and a ten," O'Shea returned, grinning.

Gus Hansen in the Tilt vs. Stars Challenge

Ainsworth Takes Two Down

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

The first hand we saw was raised by Jude Ainsworth to 450 and the player to his left three-bet to 1,300. The action was folded around to the Irishman who four-bet to 3,100. Ainsworth's opponent folded and this pot was decided preflop.

A few minutes later the board read {7-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} when two players checked and Ainsworth bet 1,200. The player to Ainsworth's left folded, as did one of the blinds, and Shannon Shorr made the call.

On the river the {2-Hearts} showed up and Shorr checked again. Ainsworth fired out 3,300 and took down another pot.

Keston Trying to Represent; Surinder Should've Called Sunar

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

Surinder Sunar is not a man who likes to be hurried. He comes from an age where there was more time and it was accepted that players could take ten minutes to make a decision.

Robin Keston was his opponent in a hand and was left waiting for what seemed like ten minutes. Keston was a little agitated but other table mates seemed more so.

Around 17,000 had made it into the middle by the time the board rested as {k-Spades}{9-Spades}{a-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}. Both players were in early position and Sunar checked to face a 10,000 bet.

Sunar eventually called with {a-Diamonds}{q-Spades} for two pair, bettering Keston's {7-Diamonds}{7-Spades}.
