Scharf Takes Some From Nomula, Now 2nd In Chips

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Jeremy Scharf just overtook Shiva Numalo for second place in the chip counts on this last hand. Scharf made it 55,000 preflop from the button and Nomula called from the small blind. Robert Keeling folded in the big blind and the dealer set out the flop.

The board was {a-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} and Nomula led out for 45,000. Scharf thought about it a moment, then made it 125,000. Nomula called.

The turn and the river killed all the action, when they were both clubs, {4-Clubs}{k-Clubs} and Scharf turned over two pair to win the hand.

Green Stretching His Legs

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Stephen Green now has some chips to work with. Over the last few hands he has taken a couple small pots off Bruce Mead.

Green opened on the first hand to 47,000 and Mead defended in the big blind. The flop came {j-Spades}{8-Spades}{8-Clubs} and Mead had already checked in the dark. Green bet out for 77,000 and Mead folded.

The next hand: Green opened again, this time for 53,000 and Mead called from the small blind. The board was all hearts {7-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{8-Hearts} and this time, Mead saw the flop before he checked. The result was the same as Green bet out 50,000 and Mead folded.
