Monster Pot

We stumbled upon a monster pot containing around 160,000 with a board reading {2-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{8-Hearts}. Greg Brooks had a bet of 85,000 laying in front of him from the small blind. Action was on Blaz Svara in the under-the-gun position and he hit the tank hard. It took a few minutes, but eventually Svara gave up the pot . . . and the chip lead.

Hand-For-Hand!

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 0 ante

We're now at 49 players and are moving to hand-for-hand play - just one bust-out until we get to the money!

Did Jesper Let His Hougaard Down?

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 0 ante

Erick Lindgren limped in from under the gun and the action folded to Joseph Ressler who called from the button, as did Jesper Hougaard from the big blind before all three players checked the flop of {8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}.

Hougaard then led out for 6,000 on the turn of the {6-Diamonds}; Lindgren folded and Ressler called before Hougaard check-folded to Ressler's bet of 20,000 on the river of the {J-Spades}. Ressler is now up to 121,000 while Hougaard slips to less than 102,000.
