Lars Goes Fars

Sole remaining Hougaard Lars is up to 10,000 after calling a 575 bet from an opponent on the turn of a {Q-Spades} {10-Diamonds} {7-Spades} {A-Clubs} board, and then checking behind on the {K-Hearts} river. "Er, I've got a ten," ventured his opponent. "That's not good," Hougaard told him, flipping {A-Hearts} {9-Hearts}. "No, I didn't think it was," replied the wistful opponent.

Wrobbing the Opposition

Further excellent fortune for Anna Wroblewski -- she's taken down a sizable pot with a flush and is up to 22,000.

Wroblewski raised in late position and got looked up by the big blind. They saw a {4-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} flop and both checked, and Wroblewski called 1,000 from the big blind on the {2-Hearts} turn. Come the {2-Diamonds} river the big blind check-called 600 from Wroblewski, and he mucked when Wroblewski showed him {A-Spades} {6-Diamonds}.

Hellmuth In the House

"Hey, do you know if Phil Hellmuth is still in the Deuce to Seven?" asked Bill Gazes. I entirely forgot to check, but no matter! Next time I passed the Gazes table, who should be shaking everyone's hand but Mr Hellmuth himself, arriving pretty early at only half an hour into level four. Not much change to his stack yet -- Hellmuth's still on the 3,000 or so he had when he made it in to work.

Schoenberg's Pretty Hot Right Now

Robert Mizrachi raised to 550 and Erica Schoenberg flatted, only for the gent on the big blind to ship it in for 3,500 total. Mizrachi passed but Schoenberg made the call and they were on their proverbial backs.

Schoenberg: {J-Hearts} {J-Diamonds}
Mr All In on the Big Blind: {A-Clubs} {10-Clubs}

Board: a decidedly uneventful {7-Hearts} {2-Spades} {Q-Clubs} {8-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds}

Schoenberg is now up to 10,500.

J.C. In Tran-sit to the Top

J.C. Tran has got a useful boost to his just-below-starting stack. He raised in mid position and got two callers on the button and the big blind, and all three saw an {8-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} {4-Spades} flop. The big blind bet out 800 but Tran made it 1,800 -- the button quickly ducked out of the way, and so did the big blind. Tran now on 4,800.
