Chips for Outhred

When we arrived at Alex Outhred's table there was already over 3,000 in the pot and Outhred was involved in a hand against one opponent on a {8-Spades}{10-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{7-Clubs} board. Outhred was first to act out of the big blind position and bet 2,400. His opponent thought for a long time before making the call.

On the {q-Clubs} river, Outhred again led, this time for 6,100. At this point, Outhred's opponent went deep into tank, so deep in fact, that Outhred turned around to look at the tournament clock with a smile on his face several times. Eventually the player opted to fold and Outhred raked in the handy little pot.

Schwartz Stacking Chips

Luke Schwartz has only registered one cash so far at this year's World Series of Poker and that came from Event 45: $50,000 Poker Players Championship where he placed fourth for a nice $406,736 payday.

Today Schwartz battles it out on poker's biggest stage, the Main Event. He is doing well for himself sitting with well over double starting stack. We recently caught up to his table as he was getting involved in a hand.

The flop read {5-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{k-Hearts} and the big blind got the action started in this four way pot by betting out 500. A player in middle position made the call, Schwartz made the call from the hijack, and the button also came along for the ride.

The {j-Clubs} on the turn saw the big blind and the middle position player check and Schwartz bet out 2,000. The button called and the big blind did the same, while the middle position player released.

The {3-Spades} on the river saw a check from the big blind and a bet of 500 from Schwartz. The button made the call while the big blind mucked.

Schwartz flipped over {K-Clubs}{9-Spades} for a pair of kings and the button mucked his cards. Schwartz now climbs to around 65,000 in chips.

Various Counts from Pavilion White

Tilly Folds To Jensen's Pressure

The player under the gun opened for 825 and action folded around to Jennifer Tilly in the hijack seat, who three-bet to 3,000. It was then folded over to Michael Jensen on the button, who four-bet to 6,000. The original raiser quickly folded and action was back on Tilly, who thought it over and decided to toss in a call.

The flop came {9-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds} and Tilly led out for 6,000. Undeterred, Jensen announced he was all in and Tilly folded.

Jensen then told us to add that he busted Tilly out of the Main Event back in 2006, for good measure.

In any case, Tilly slipped to 51,000 as a result of the hand.

Billirakis KOs Opponent

We found Steve Billirakis and an unknown opponent at a flop of {Q-Spades} {9-Hearts} {2-Spades}. The unknown player bet 3,500 and Billirakis called. The turn came {3-Diamonds}, the unknown player moved all in for around 11,000.

Billirakis wasted little time calling and tabled {9-Clubs} {9-Diamonds}. His opponent held {K-Clubs} {K-Spades} and bricked the river when it fell {6-Diamonds}.

Moreno Shows the Bluff After Opponent Folds Aces

Catching up with the hand on the final board of {J-Hearts}{10-Spades}{6-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}, an opponent slid out a bet of 3,100 with 21,000 behind into Andrew Moreno. Moreno put out a tall stack of chips to effectively put his opponent all in. After a couple of minutes in the tank, the player folded the {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts} face up. Moreno showed the {A-Spades}{8-Spades} for an ace-high flush draw that missed, but was the winner after Moreno's aggressive move on the river. He scooped in the pot and moved to roughly 56,000 in chips.

Chip Counts from the Brasilia Silver Section

Enter the Great Dane

Gus Hansen is another player that we haven't seen too much at this year's World Series of Poker, but the allure of the Main Event has proven too strong as Hansen has taken his seat following the second break of the day. The Danish pro did win the $25,300 One Drop Mega Satellite a few weeks ago, with that worth a handy $1,000,000 and he'll be looking for similar success in the Main Event.
