Micka Going in the Right Direction
Sitting in the big blind, Micka picked up a walk on the fourth hand of play.
On the next hand, he was in the small blind, and action folded around to Claus Rasmussen in the hijack seat. Rasmussen opened with a raise to 20,500. When it came to Micka, he reraised, putting out a total of 54,500. Rasmussen tanked for about a minute before relinquishing his hand, and Micka picked up a nice chunk of easy chips.
The Same Game
"Just so you guys know," said Ward to the table, "We still play this game with community cards..." Ward is referring to the fact that through the first seven hands of play, we've yet to see a flop.
Double or Nothing for Petronack
Showdown:
Petronack:
Fee:
The flop of
was an ugly one for Petronack. The turn was even worse, as the 
kept Fee in the lead and gave him the added benefit of a flush draw. Down to his last card, Petronack somehow pulled the 
out of the deck on fifth street, drawing a huge reaction from the spectators!With that, Petronack earns a much-needed double up, sitting now with right around 220,000.
Getting Feisty Preflop
Rasmussen went deep into the tank for several minutes, slipping his cards back and forth under his hands. Finally, he did let it go, sending more than 20% of his stack over to Sheirbon.
