Peters Jack'd To Double

Facing a raise to 575 from under the gun, Donnie Peters moved all in for 2,225 from middle position with the original raiser making the call.

Peters: {A-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}
Opponent: {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}

Fortunately for Peters, the board ran out {10-Spades}{9-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} to see Peters spike his three-outer and double through to 5,000 in chips.

Lindgren Doubles

Erick Lindgren was in the hijack when he raised to 500. The player in the big blind, who had Lindgren well covered, announced he was all in and Lindgren made the call.

Lindgren: {k-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}
Opponent: {a-Clubs}{4-Clubs}

The flop delivered Lindgren the help he needed, coming {9-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}. With the {q-Spades} on the turn and the {10-Spades} on the river, Lindgren was cleared for a double up and is now sitting with 6,200 chips.

Ivey On The Rise

Phil Ivey's preflop raise was called by the player in the big blind. The flop came down {7-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}{6-Spades} and it was checked to Ivey. He bet 750 and his opponent called.

The turn was the {2-Spades} and it was checked to Ivey once again. This time he bet 1,800 and his opponent gave it up, increasing Ivey's stack to 18,000.

Duvall Hovering

It seems a little early to us, but at certain tables it seems to have got to the point where a starting stack has become a shoving stack.

We're not sure how it came to this, but the gentleman under the gun had a 1,700 bet in front of him - we think that was his opening raise - and Jeff Duvall shoved. It folded back around to the raiser, who folded.

Duvall, who finished 42nd in the Main Event last year, is almost back up to his starting stack on 7,000.

So Long Lindgren

Erick Lindgren
Erick Lindgren

No sooner had we reported on Erick Lindgren's double up than did he lose a big pot and then go on to bust the next hand.

Lindgren was in the small blind on a flop of {7-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{10-Hearts} and and called a bet of 1,100 from the player in the button. The player in the big blind came along as well.

The river was the {7-Clubs} and all three players checked to see the {3-Spades}. Lindgren checked, the player in the big blind bet 2,700, and the dealer folded. Lindgren made the call, but mucked when the big blind showed {a-Clubs}{7-Spades}.

After the hand Lindgren was down to just 300 chips. He got it all in on the next hand from the button after action was limped to him with the big blind player being the only caller.

Lindgren: {a-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}
Big Blind: {j-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}

He may have been ahead at the start, but Lindgren quickly fell behind when the flop came {2-Clubs}{10-Spades}{2-Spades}. The turn and river were no help to Lindgren, falling {3-Diamonds}{k-Spades} and he shook some hands before making his exit.

Mortensen No Longer

Carlos Mortensen's chips were difficult to count for much of the day as he was constructing a complex chip structure that we didn't dare attempt to deconstruct. However, his chips recently became much easier to count seeing as how they are all gone.

Fatal Error Corrects Itself

Jon Aguiar
Jon Aguiar

We arrived just in time to see the cards turned over.

Jon "Fatal Error" Aguiar: {j-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}
Aguiar's opponent: {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}

Board: {10-Spades}{5-Spades}{5-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}

"Well that was a fatal error," Aguiar told his opponent as he doubled to around 40,000. His opponent didn't look like he appreciated it too much as he paid Aguiar most of his stack.
