Hands 133-134

Level 28 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

Hand #133: Athanasios Polychronopoulos raised from the button and Everett Carlton three-bet all in from the small blind. Joe Cada folded his big blind and Polychronopoulos folded as well.

Hand #134: Joe Cada raised to 140,000 from the small blind and Manuel Mutke called from the big blind. Cada continued for 120,000 after the {K-Spades}{K-Hearts}{6-Spades} flop and Mutke called. Both checked the {3-Spades} turn and {7-Spades} river with Mutke showing {4-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}, good enough to take down the pot.

Hands 135-139: Do You Limp the Button? All the Cool Kids Are Doing It...

Level 28 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

Hand #135: Polychronopoulos received a walk in the big blind.

Hand #136: Cada raised to 140,000 under the gun, Mutke mucked his small blind, and Polychronopoulos three-bet to 260,000, forcing Cada to release.

Hand #137: Polychronopoulos limped in on the button, Carlton mucked his small blind, and Cada checked his option. The flop rolled out {5-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{5-Hearts}, and both players checked down, as they did on the {5-Clubs} turn. When the {K-Hearts} hit the board on the river, Cada checked for a third time, and Polychronopoulos bet 425,000 to take it down.

Hand #138: Carlton limped in on the button, Cada completed the small blind, and Mutke checked his option. They checked the {10-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{4-Spades} down, seeing the {6-Clubs} fall on the turn. Cada led out for 75,000, Mutke called, and Carlton mucked. When the river came {5-Diamonds}, Cada led out for 120,000, and Mutke looked perplexed, asking Cada something quietly while thinking things through. Scratching his forehead as he pondered, Mutke stared at his stack and appeared to count, before finally tossing in the crying call. Cada opened the {J-Spades}{2-Spades} and his top pair was good enough.

Hand #139 Joe Cada raised on the button and Athanasios Polychronopoulos called from the big blind. They both checked to the river of a {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{6-Spades}{Q-Clubs} board where he bet 175,000. Cada folded.

Hands 140-142: Mutke's House is Undervalued

Level 28 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

Hand #140: Cada took it down with a raise to 130,000 from the cutoff.

Hand #141: Polychronopoulos raised to 140,000 holding the button, stealing the blinds and antes.

Hand #142: Polychronopoulos made it 120,000 to go from the cutoff, Mutke came along from the big blind, and the flop fell {4-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{j-Spades}. Mutke check-called a bet of 155,000 by Polychronopoulos, and the turn came {3-Clubs}. Mutke checked a second time, and Polychronopoulos continued with a bet of 275,000. The deliberate Mutke then pondered his options for a minute or so, riffling chips and gazing at the board, before ultimately making the call. Both players checked the river, and Mutke rolled over {5-Spades}{5-Clubs} for a rivered full house.

Level: 29

Blinds: 40,000/80,000

Ante: 10,000

Hands 143-145: Between a Rock and a Hard Place

Level 29 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Hand #143: Mutke raised from the small blind, making it 180 to play, and Polychronopoulos three-bet to 380,000 in defense of his big blind. Mutke could only mutter and smile ruefully while mucking his cards.

Hand #144: Cada opened for 160,000 from under the gun, and Polychronopoulos studied the former Main Event champ, obviously contemplating his entrance into the pot. Eventually, he announced himself all-in from the small blind, and Cada shook his head at having been put in a tough spot. Cada eventually mucked his cards, but his reluctance was evident.

Hand #145: Polychronopoulos raised his button to 190,000, but folded when Carlton shipped his last 1.5 or so million chips.

Hands 146-149

Level 29 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Hand #148: Athanasios Polychronopoulos raised all in from the small blind, forcing a fold from the shorter-stacked Everett Carlton in the big blind.

Hand #149: Everett Carlton limped in from the small blind and Joe Cada checked his option. The flop came down {9-Spades}{K-Diamonds}{2-Spades} and both checked. The {7-Hearts} turn was checked by Carlton, but Cada bet 80,000. A call from Carlton landed the {Q-Spades} river which both checked. Carlton took down the pot with {A-Clubs}{J-Clubs} for ace high.

Hands 150-153: Walk the Line

Level 29 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Hand #150: Mutke went for a walk in the big blind.

Hand #151: Polychronopoulos received a walk in his big blind.

Hand #152: Polychronopoulos limped his small blind, Carlton checked his option, and the flop came {q-Spades}{2-Hearts}{j-Spades}. Carlton check-called a bet of 80,000, and on the {6-Clubs} turn he check-called another bet, this time for 100,000. The {J-Clubs} made an appearance on the river, and both players checked down. Carlton rolled over {9-Clubs}{2-Clubs} and his pair was good enough for the win.

Hand #153: Polychronopoulos raised his button to 180,000, and scooped the blinds and antes.

Level 29 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Hand #154: Everett Carlton calls on the button, Joe Cada calls in the small blind, and Manuel Mutke checks his option. They checked to the turn of a {A-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{5-Spades}{7-Clubs} board where Carlton bet 145,000, forcing folds from both Cada and Mutke.
