Mercier Returns

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

It didn’t take long for Team PokerStars Pro Jason Mercier to change his mind. He’s back in the game and sitting at Steve O’Dwyer’s table but seems to have lost a few chips already and made a frustrated fold when he was shoved on.

O’Dwyer then asked Mercier if he was going to Macau next month. He said he wasn’t as although he had never been it was too far to go. O’Dwyer said he had won a package and was going as are Paul Newey and Team PokerStars Pro Online Isaac Haxton.

Haxton was asking Newey about wiring money there but his thoughts soon turned to whether there would be any problem getting money out.

Dvoress Doubles Through Blom

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Short-stack Daniel Dvoress has just doubled up through the recently arrived Full Tilt Poker Professional Viktor Blom. Dvoress managed to river a jack with {K-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} on a {2-Clubs}{3-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{J-Clubs} board against Blom's {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}. Daniel Colman, serial winner of anything with 'poker' in the title, has also just bought.

Ace High Good For Gruissem

Level 10 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
Philipp Gruissem
Philipp Gruissem

Philipp Gruissem opened the action for 2,600 and got a call from Viktor Blom on the button and small blind Agshin Rasulov.

It was cautiously checked down on a final board of {6-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{8-Spades}{3-Hearts}. Gruissem won with {a-Spades}{q-Clubs} and Rasulov laughingly turned over {k-Spades}{q-Spades}explaining he didn’t bet his draw on the turn because he was sure Gruissem would shove and he would have to fold. Blom laughed at Rasulov’s hand too saying that he’d have been crushed by it.

Greenwood Felled

Level 10 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Team PokerStars Pro Online Mickey Petersen was in the big blind and checked the {k-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{a-Hearts} flop to Sam Greenwood who bet 3,000. Petersen called and they saw a turn {6-Spades}. Petersen check-called a bet of 5,000 which left Greenwood 13,000 behind.

The river was the {8-Spades} and a check from Petersen saw Greenwood shove and Petersen snap him off with {a-Clubs}{8-Hearts}. Greenwood tabled his {j-Clubs}{10-Clubs} and headed for the door.

“He has to bluff.” the online wizard said.

Blom and Colman Bust

Level 10 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Daniel Colman can’t win then all. Unless he re-enters and wins that is. Colman had got a little short and a shove with {3-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} got looked up by Philippe D`Auteuil holding {6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}. The cards fell {k-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{k-Clubs} and Colman hurried for the exit.

Viktor Blom played a few small pot without much success so decided to change tack. Anatoly Filatov has a wide opening range and when he made it 3,500 from the button Blom jammed 38,000 from the small blind with an off suit {a-}{3-}. Filatov called with {a-}{j-} and took his chips.
