Mercier Multi-Tabling

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

In case a £10,000 High Roller wasn’t enough action, Team PokerStars Pro Jason Mercier is playing Pineapple on his i-Pad against Sorel Mizzi who is currently in the same tournament two tables away.

Now and then they are shouting across to each other about what to do next and getting teased by other players about who has an edge.

Jammage

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Grayson Ramage opened the action from the button for 2,200 and Adrian Diaz called from the small blind.

Marvin Rettenmaier isn’t the type of player to let the chance to put a bit of pressure on go by and he raised from the big blind to 7,500. Ramage jammed it in his eye for close to 40,000 and nobody looked him up.

Altergott Doubles

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Max Altergott
Max Altergott

Max Altergott opened the action and seeming reluctantly called it off when Christopher Brammer raised him.

Altergott was out of his seat and tabling {a-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} and Brammer showed {8-Clubs}{8-Spades}.

A final board of {k-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{6-Clubs} saw the turn give Altergott a double up.

No Love Lost

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Toby Lewis
Toby Lewis

Toby Lewis and Craig McCorkell might be best friends off the circuit, but that doesn't mean anyone is getting soft-played.

On the river of an {8-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} board, Lewis fired out a bet of 15,000 and McCorkell snap-called. Lewis flashed a queen but McCorkell showed {K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds} to win the pot from his friend.

Kurganov Out Of Ammo

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Igor Kurganov is out of the High Roller for the second time today.

He wasn’t overly keen to give the full details to PokerNews, fair enough, but it involved a squeeze with {a-}{3-} from the big blind that got looked up by {a-}{10-}.

Price had called a 7,500 check-raise on the flop and another 14,000 on the turn beforehand but in the end he elected to fold what he said was a set.
