Pirate v. Matador

Carlos Mortensen
Carlos Mortensen

Gabriel Alarie was second to act, and he opened the pot to 1,000. On the button, Max Pescatori made the call, but Carlos Mortensen was thinking sinister thoughts. From the small blind, he three-bet it to 3,200 total, and Alarie called the extra bit. This time, though, it was Pescatori with his brow furrowed. He snuck in another raise to 10,500, Mortensen called for about half his remaining stack, and Alarie frowned and ducked out of the way.

That left the two bracelet winners heads up to the {9-Hearts} {6-Hearts} {8-Hearts} flop. Mortensen moved all in for 14,700, and Pescatori called to put a big pot up for grabs. "The Matador" was first to show, tabling his {Q-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs}. Pescatori, "The Italian Pirate" nodded knowingly and showed up {10-Diamonds} {10-Clubs}, neither player with a heart.

The turn {K-Diamonds} and river {5-Diamonds} kept Mortensen's pair safe, earning him a big double up. He's all the way up to 54,000 now, while Pescatori has taken a big hit back to 12,000.

Failing to React

I think playing with the Devilfish earlier in the week has had negative affects on Neil Channing. He's started reeling out the gags.

"Helium walked into a bar, and the bar man said, 'I'm sorry, Sir, but we don't serve noble gases'...

Helium didn't react."

Neither did the rest of the table.

Aces and Big Slick Pay for Trickett

Sam Trickett
Sam Trickett

On the flop of {K-Spades}{J-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}, one player checked to Sam Trickett. He fired 4,700 and his opponent called. The turn brought the {3-Diamonds} and the first player checked to Trickett again. Trickett fired 8,300 and his opponent min-raised to 16,600. Trickett called. The river then completed the board with the {9-Diamonds} and Trickett's opponent fired 9,000. Trickett quickly made the call and his opponent tapped the table, flashing the {4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}. Trickett tabled the {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds} and won the pot to move to 112,000.

On the very next hand, the same opponent raised and Trickett three-bet to 3,300. The player called and the two were off to another flop together. The flop came down {10-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{7-Spades} and action was checked to Trickett. He bet enough to put his opponent all in and the player called off his last 6,500 or so. Trickett held the {A-Clubs}{K-Spades} and his all-in opponent the {A-Hearts}{J-Spades}. The turn brought the {6-Hearts} and the river the {3-Hearts} to give Trickett the rest of his opponent's chips.

Trickett is now up to a whopping 124,000 in chips and is leading the way by a nice, fat margin.

Mr Macau Backs Down

Macau and Melbourne seem to be the usual haunts of Charles Chua, and a pretty good run he's had of late, finishing 3rd in March's $2,500 Main Event at the APPT Macau for almost $100k while in 2008's event he finished second for $291,489. A good warm-up, consistency wise, for the WSOPE, and he's looking for his first cash in this series, or any World Series event for that matter.

A slight setback dropped him under his starting stack just now as he raised Hoi Wing Cheung on a flop of {K-Clubs} {J-Hearts} {5-Clubs} to 8,000 when Cheung bet out 3,000. Cheung tanked for a while, then tanked it in - at which Chua instantly threw his hand away and settled for keeping his 27,075 intact.

Akenhead Needs a Medic

James Akenhead earlier in the Series
James Akenhead earlier in the Series

Just moments before players dispersed for the break, Nenad Medic was treated to a double up courtesy of the American Airlines.

Although, at first glance, it looked like a simple 'raise, three-bet, all in on flop' affair, table mate Ludovic Lacay elaborated on the intricacies of how the hand developed.

According to the Frenchman, Heather Sue Mercer opened the hijack, Medic called in the cut-off, McLean Karr called on the button and James Akenhead three-bet the small blind.

Back round to Mercer who folded, leading to calls from the other two players.

On the {3-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{7-Spades} flop, Akenhead led, Medic moved all in, Karr folded and Akenhead called.

On their backs:

Akenhead: {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}
Medic: {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}

Turn: {J-Spades}
River: {10-Hearts}

Akenhead - 29,000
Medic - 45,000

Levi Him Alone

David Levi
David Levi

David Levi is not to be pushed about preflop, as John Tabatabai discovered when threebetting out of the big blind over the top of cutoff Levi's 800. The longest think about this preflop action was undertaken by big blind Tom Marchese, though. He gave every impression of being disconnected IRL, but finally gave up his hand and the chance to get involved.

Levi now repopped it (from 2,500 to 7,200) very quickly, like he'd just been waiting for the cloth-capped NAPT sensation to get out of the way. Back to Tabatabai who silently thought about these new developments, before giving up his 2.5k and moving on to the next hand, and the button.
