[user66118]
[user66118]
Rene Mouritsen has the button, and he limps in. Max Greenwood checks his option.

The dealer spreads out {2-Hearts} {A-Diamonds} {6-Clubs}, and both men check.

The turn is the {2-Spades}. Greenwood checks, and Mouritsen bets 50,000. That's enough for Greenwood, and he ducks out.

An International Battle

There are two heads-up battles going on in the room right now. The first is the one on center stage, the battle at the poker table between Max Greenwood and Rene Mouritsen.

The second, and possibly more entertaining battle, is going on in the bleachers, where Greenwood and Mouritsen have their cheering sections seated on opposite sides of the arena.

From one side, we hear "M-A-X.. Max, Max, Max!" and "Green! ... Wood!..."

Across the room, the Danes are dancing and cheering loudly in their own style. The melodies of their chants are recognizable, but the language is foreign.

The cheering is spirited and light-hearted... and extremely loud at times, taking on the feel of a big sporting event. However, it has just begun to get a little excessive within the last few minutes. The tournament director has recently had to warn the spectators a number of times to keep it down during hands.

"You can have all the fun you want between hands, though," he says. The fans are certainly heeding that piece of admonition.

Hand #118 - Max Greenwood

Max Greenwood has the button and kicks it up to 110,000. Rene Mouritsen makes the call and sees a flop of {4-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} {3-Clubs}.

Both players check the flop and the {9-Diamonds} falls on the turn. Mouritsen checks once more, as does Greenwood, bringing us to 5th Street -- the {5-Hearts}.

Mouritsen passes the action to Greenwood who fires a 200,000 bet. Mouritsen makes the call and Greenwood tables {5-?} {7-?} for two pair which is good enough to take down the pot.

Rene Mouritsen has the button, and he raises to 120,000. Max Greenwood makes the call.

The flop rolls out {8-Spades} {9-Clubs} {3-Clubs}, and both players check.

The turn is the {Q-Clubs}. Greenwood checks, allowing Mouritsen to bet out 150,000. Greenwood decides to raise, making it 450,000 total, and Mouritsen quickly lays it down.

Hand #114 - Rene Mouritsen

[user38449]
Max Greenwood has the button and completes the bet; Rene Mouritsen checks his option in the big blind and we see a flop of {9-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds}.

Both players check the flop and the turn brings the {K-Spades}. Rene then leads out with a bet of 40,000; Max makes the call.

The last card off the deck is the {K-Hearts} and a check-check sequence brings us to the showdown, at which point Rene tables a {K-?} for trips and Max mucks his hand.
