Okhotskyi Loses Some Ground But Still Has Mountains

Level 5 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

Oleh Okhotski raised to 6,500 from the cutoff and found one caller in the shape of Daniel Dvorres on the button, who is in the midst of receiving a massage. Okhotski continued with an 8,000 bet on the {a-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{4-Clubs} flop, a bet that Dvorres called.

Okhotski slowed down and checked the {10-Clubs} turn, leaving the door wide open for a bet from Dvorres, and he did just that, setting the price to see a river card at 17,000. Okhotski wasn't prepared to part with that sum and he mucked.

Schemion sat staring at Margereson as the dealer spread the {4-Clubs}{10-Spades}{3-Hearts} flop, so saw him bet 22,000. Schemion called and then went back to looking intently at his opponent. The turn was the {3-Diamonds} and Schemion checked, Margereson bet 54,000 and Schemion let his hand go.

Watson Takes a Chunk From Markin

Level 5 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante
Leonid Markin
Leonid Markin

With {Q-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{5-Spades}{6-Spades} on the table we caught Leonid Markin tanking, after Mike Watson had upped the cost of seeing the river significantly. Markin had 17,500 out in front of him, but Watson had put in 63,200 from the small blind.

After a while Markin called, and the river brought the {9-Spades}. Watson decided to check and Markin checked behind, after which the Canadian pro tabled [AhQh[ for the win. Markin flashed his {K-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}, and with a sigh he folded his cards.

Markin, who's on his second bullet, will have his work cut out for him as he faces an uphill battle.

Schemion vs. Rossiter

Level 5 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

Ole Schemion raised to 6,000 from the hijack and was met by a three-bet to 21,600 from Jeff Rossiter in the cutoff. Action folded back to Schemion, and he called to see the {7-Clubs}{6-Spades}{5-Spades} flop. Schemion check-called a bet of 20,500, and then checked for a second time on the {7-Hearts} turn.

Rossiter bet again, this time 28,000, and it proved enough to push Schemion off the hand.
