Coren Mitchell Keeps Adding

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante
Victoria Coren Mitchell
Victoria Coren Mitchell

Victoria Coren Mitchell has been playing an above average number of pots today and when she opened from early positon for 850 recently she saw one player test her mettle with a three-bet to 2,300. The blinds folded and Coren Mitchell put out the calling chips.

They went heads up to a flop of {j-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{7-Diamonds} and Coren Mitchell checked before she complained in mock displeasure about the groans of pleasure the player next to her was emitting as he received a massage. That got a laugh from the table, except from her opponent who bet 1,800. Coren Mitchell called the bet and they both checked the turn card {8-Hearts}.

When the river fell the {8-Clubs} Coren Mitchell changed tack and led out for 3,500. This seemed to confuse her opponent who checked his cards, seemed on the verge of folding, but in the end decided to look her up. Coren Mitchell turned over the {9-Spades}{9-Hearts} which was good for the win and the extra value extracted on the end.

Coren Mitchell's Straight Takes It

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

Ole Schemion made it 800 to go from late position and found calls from both Victoria Coren Mitchell on the button and the player in the small blind. The trio took a three-heart flop of {9-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{6-Hearts}. There were two checks around to Coren Mitchell on the button and she tossed out 1,100. The small blind folded and Schemion stayed around.

The turn brought a fourth heart to the board with the {5-Hearts}. Schemion checked once more and Coren Mitchell knocked the table back. The {K-Diamonds} finished the community cards and two more checks prompted a showdown.

"I have a straight," said Coren Mitchell. "I made a straight on the turn."

She tabled {8-Clubs}{7-Clubs} for a straight to the nine and Schemion was unable to beat it. He mucked his cards and the two-time EPT Main Event champion was pushed the pot.

Kitai Second Best

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

Davidi Kitai is remaining active but no matter how good you are you can’t win every hand as he has been finding out recently.

Kitai called flop and turn bets and it got to the river of a board reading {3-Spades}{7-Hearts}{q-Spades}{a-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} where he vigorously checked, obviously hoping for a check behind. His opponent was not so obliging though and bet again for 3,900. Kitai called it off and when he was shown {a-Spades}{q-Hearts} he turned over just the {a-Hearts} and pushed his hand away.

Kitai still has double what he stared with but has come up second best in a few pots lately.

Pagano Shoves The River

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

Team PokerStars Pro Luca Pagano just raised to 900 and from his immediate left it was PokerStars Team Online Marc-Andre Ladouceur who made the call. The big blind called as well and the flop brought out {9-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{5-Spades}.

On the flop all three players checked and the turn was the {4-Hearts}. This time Pagano bet 1,500 after the big blind had checked and Ladouceur was his only caller.

The river was the {J-Hearts} and quickly Pagano moved all in for 8,500 chips and that was too much for Ladouceur who folded immediately.

Grospellier Straightened Out

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

Team PokerStars Pro Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier opened with a raise to 800 and found calls from the player in the cutoff, Enzo Gomez on the button, and the player in the big blind.

The quartet of players took a flop of {9-Spades}{7-Spades}{Q-Clubs} and action checked over to Grospellier. He continued out for 2,000 and the cutoff quickly released his hand. Gomez called from the button while the big blind let go of his cards. The {J-Spades} dropped down on the turn and Grospellier slowed with a check. Gomez reached for chips and moved out 5,000. Grospellier called.

The river brought the {2-Clubs} to the felt and Grospellier check-called a final bet of 8,000.

"Straight," proclaimed Gomez, showing {10-Hearts}{8-Spades} for a straight to the queen. Grospellier flung his cards into the middle of the table, quickly revealing {A-Spades}{A-Hearts}, before they were pulled face down into the muck. With this hit, Grospellier's stack is at about 35,000.
