Miles Doubles Through Oppenheim

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Tony Miles
Tony Miles

Tony Miles opened to 5,000 from the cutoff and David Oppenheim called from the big blind.

The J83 flop checked through to the J turn. Oppenheim bet 5,000 and Miles called.

Oppenheim checked the A river, prompting Miles to jam for 20,000.

"You won't believe my hand," chimed Oppenheim as he deliberated. He then inferred that he should've just jammed preflop.

After some thinking time, Oppenheim called while mentioning on the lines that if Miles caught the ace it would be sick.

As Oppenheim's chips went in, Miles declared he had an ace and tabled his A4.

Oppenheim mucked his hand, but one of their tablemates requested the hand be turned over as it was an 'all-in and call.'

Oppenheim showed KK for a no good pair of kings and they returned to the muck for a second time.

The clock has ticked past registration as a few players have gotten in at the last minute.

Day 1a of the PokerNews cup has been attended tremendously, recording 504 entries in the opening flight and just 153 of those remain.

Day 1a will close when 63 players remain.

It's also looking like the $1,000,000 guarantee will be obliterated as $488,880 has been collected with Day 1b and 1c still to play.

Chattopadhyay Calls With King-High

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante
Dipanjan Chattopadhyay
Dipanjan Chattopadhyay

Dipanjan Chattopadhyay opened to 6,000 from the button and the big blind called.

The 1087 flop checked through to the 10 turn and the big blind led out for 5,000, which was called.

The big blind then sized up to 20,000 on the 2 river. Chattopadhyay pondered over the spot before flicking in the call.

The big blind tabled Q9x for queen-high.

Chattopadhyay then turned over his KJ for just king-high, but it was enough to scoop in the pot.

The big blind appeared frustrated about the hero call, but Chattopadhyay took in the chips to become one of the biggest stacks in the room.
