We came into the hand with at least 50,000 already in the pot and Sorel Mizzi having put out a re-raise of 20,000 more on the button (unclear what the initial raise was) with the board reading
Daniel Morgan who was in the small blind re-raised all in for a total of 89,000 and Mizzi called.
Morgan showed and Mizzi showed
The board ran out and Mizzi is now down to just 23,000 while Morgan moves way up on our board to 240,000.
After a series of preflop raises Eric Hettinga called another players all in for around 65,000. The all-in player held the but would need some help to best Hettinga's . The board ran out and the other player was sent to the rail.
We recently reported on a hand where Daniel Morgan took a large number of chips from Sorel Mizzi. Morgan certainly has not slowed down since that hand.
Although we missed the action, on a ten-high flop Morgan and Jean-Robert Bellande ended up all in for a massive amount of chips with Bellande's pocket jacks trailing to Morgan's pocket aces. The aces held and Bellande, who started the day second in chips, was eliminated from the tournament.
Shortly thereafter Morgan finished off the short-stacked Mizzi when the two got all the chips in preflop.
Mizzi:
Morgan:
The board ran out and Morgan's two pair sent Mizzi to the rail.
After all these hands were completed Morgan's stack was a towering 455,000, making him our chipleader.
Lex Veldhuis opened on the button for 4,000 and the player in the big blind moved all in for 14,800. Veldhuis called and tabled and the big blind had . The board ran and Veldhuis added to his stack to make it 96,000.
Michael Michnik moved all in from middle position and Alex Fitzgerald came over top with his all in. Action folded around and Michnik tabled . Fitzgerald was ahead holding .
A player under the gun open shoved all in for 120,000 which is 60 big blinds right now and Chris Moorman woke up in the big blind with .
We only knew that this was happening thanks to Mohsin Charania (who is sitting to Moorman's left) who tweeted,"Guy at our table jammed 120k at 1k-2k utg and Moorman in the bb has been in the tank for 5 minutes."
We went down to watch, and it was at least another four minutes before Moorman tried to call the clock on himself, which you cannot do, so a player at the table did for him and he eventually laid it down.
The player under the gun threw his hands in the muck and after much pleading for him to "show one" he said, "You know, I don't usually talk about my hands, but you had one over on me, I had Kings."
Who knows if he was telling the truth or not, but Moorman still has a big stack right now and will be fine without the win or the loss in the hand
Tuan Le had recently moved to Melanie Weisner's table and seated next to her. We caught this hand on the flop of and Weisner bet 5,700. Le raised to 15,700 and Weisner called. The turn came and both players checked. The river was the and Weisner checked. Le slid out 25,000 and Weisner insta-called. Le turned over and Weisner let out an exasperated sigh.
