David Levi raised to 2,100, and Christian "Charder30" Harder three-bet to 5,100 from the cutoff. Levi called, and they went heads up to a {A-Spades} {8-Clubs} {5-Spades} flop. Levi checked, and Charder bet 3,100. Levi made the cal, leaving himself about 17,000 behind. The turn brought the {3-Hearts}. David checked one more time, and then gave it up after a 6,100 bet from Charder.

Woodward Building a Bigger Ramp

With between 15,000 and 20,000 chips in the middle, Jason Somerville was first up in a pot against Matt Woodward. The final board read {10-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{A-Spades} and Somerville had a bet of 11,000 laid out in front of him. Woodward tanked for long time, looking pained about his decision. Eventually, he tossed in the call, but looked sick about doing so. Somerville tapped the table and then Woodward showed the {Q-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for a pair of tens. Somerville mucked and Woodward was pushed the pot. With the new chips, Woodward is up to about 155,000.

Suied Beat by Seven-Deuce

From early position, Danny Suied raised to 2,000 and got called by both players in the blind. The flop came down {9-Hearts}{7-Spades}{3-Clubs} and the small blind checked. The big blind checked as well and then Suied fired 3,500. The small blind got out of the way, but the big blind made the call, bringing the two players to a turn of the {4-Hearts}.

The big blind checked and then Suied fired again, this time for 6,600. His opponent tanked for a few moments and then made the call.

The river completed the board with the {Q-Clubs} and the big blind checked. Suied didn't fire a third barrel and checked behind. His opponent tabled the {7-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} and Suied mucked his cards, dropping back down to 23,700.

Akenhead Driving the Train

James Akenhead
James Akenhead
2009 November Niner James Akenhead has had a productive Day 1. He's currently sitting behind approximately 70,000 chips and encountering little resistance from his table.

Akenhead, sitting in position, called a pre-flop raise to 1,900. His opponent continued for 2,800 on a flop of {5-Diamonds} {8-Clubs} {A-Spades}, a bet that Akenhead called. Both men checked the {Q-Hearts} turn. When Akenhead's opponent also checked the {J-Spades} river, Akenhead took the opportunity to bet 7,200. The bet produced a fold, allowing Akenhead to claim the pot.
