100 Hands of Heads-Up Play

A grueling heads-up battle has unfolded between Jen Harman and Thomas Bihl
A grueling heads-up battle has unfolded between Jen Harman and Thomas Bihl
Kirk Morrison busted out in third place 100 hands ago on Hand #226. After Morrison's elimination, both Jen Harman and Thomas Bihl were about even in chips. Over that span, she pulled away by almost 300,000, but Bihl fought back. She holds an edge of around 200,000. Bihl won't back down.

To quote Teddy KGB from "Rounders," -- "The kid has alligator blood in his veins."

Hands #320-321 (Omaha/8)

Hand #320: Bihl gets a walk.

Hand #321: Bihl raises on the button and Harman calls. The flop is {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{2-Clubs} and both players check. The turn is the {4-Spades}. Harman checks, Bihl bets, and Harman calls. The river is the {6-Diamonds}. Harman checks and Bihl checks behind. Harman shows an A-5 for low, Bihl makes a pair of deuces for high and they split the pot.

Hands #318-9 (Omaha/8)

Hand #318: Button Harman calls the 20K, Bihl checks.

Flop: {2-Spades}{K-Clubs} {6-Hearts}. Bihl bets out 20K and is called.

Turn: {6-Diamonds}. Bihl now checks, Harman bets 40K and he lets it go.

Hand #319: Bihl calls, and Harman checks.

Flop: {2-Spades}{10-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}. Harman bets out 20K, called.

Turn: {4-Hearts}. Again, Harman bets out, called.

River: {J-Spades}. Harman checks, Bihl checks -- she shows two pair, tens and deuces, which is good enough to take the whole pot.

Hands #316-317 (Hold'em-Omaha/8)

Hand #316: Harman raises on the button, Bihl reraises, and Harman calls. Bihl bets in the dark before the {K-Clubs}{K-Spades}{6-Spades} flop lands, Harman folds, and Bihl wins the pot.

On to Omaha/8...

Hand #317: Bihl raises on the button and Harman calls. The flop is {A-Hearts}{A-Spades}{5-Diamonds}. Harman checks, Bihl bets, Harman folds and Bihl wins the pot.

Hands #314-5 (Hold'em)

Hand #314: Jennifer Harman wins a pretty hefty pot which was re-reraised preflop and bet by Bihl when the flop came: {J-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{7-Clubs}. She flat called there, but raised from 40K-80K when the {A-Clubs} appeared on the turn, at which point Bihl folded his hand sharpish.

Hand #315: Walk for Harman.

Hands #310-11 (Hold'em)

Hand #310: Small blind Harman raises to 40K. Bihl thinks about it, and reraises to 60K -- she calls.

Flop: {2-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}. Bihl leads out for 20K, Harman calls.

Turn: {4-Hearts}. Check-check.

River: {6-Clubs}. Another double check. Now Bihl's king-high is good to take the pot.

Hand #311: Bihl raises to 40K preflop, with a call. They see {K-Spades}{J-Spades}{10-Clubs} on the flop. Harman checks, Bihl bets, and she raises. Call.

Turn: {8-Spades}. Harman leads out for 40K. Bihl makes it 80K -- back to Harman who calls.

River: {7-Diamonds}. Now both players check. Bihl had made a pair of kings, beating Harman's jacks.
