Thus far, the heads-up match between Soren Jensen and Tim Vance has been marked by extremely passive play. Both players are frequently limping in pre-flop and checking the flop (and turn... and river). Typically the first player to bet has taken down the pot -- that is, when the hand isn't checked all the way to a showdown. It's all made for a heads-up match so dull I fear Luckyblind has fallen asleep in his chair.

Whoever decides to ramp up his aggression can take this tournament down. Either that, or we'll just wait around for a big coinflip or pair-vs-pair situation to settle this.

Soren Takes One Down

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Tim raises it up to 120,000 and Soren slowly counts a reraise to 340,00.

"How big is your ace?" asks Tim. "Bigger than your small pair," says Soren. He's right. When Tim folds, Soren shows K-K.
