[snoopy1239]

Paul Lee is OUT and becomes the 3rd finisher winning $1,082,920

Paul Lee moves his shortstack all-in pre-flop with and, not too surprisingly, Kirk called the huge 25k raise with Ah .

Emphatic board.

quick question guys on an entirely different note, how do you chat on UB?

You know the little white screeny bit?  Just click on there, a cursor appears, and type something, hit Enter and it appears in the flow of text in the box.  You want to say 'ty' to 'nh' or something more, er, colourful?

[hartwith]

you got it Jen. Just wanted to congratulate a guy in a 5/10 omaha game for calling off his stack with AAxx on a JJT board. Obv his A hit the river. Colourful language indeed.

When asked how he did in this year's final by the presenter, Daniel Negreanu said, "Well, I wanted to let the new young blood come through. I've won enough money already, so I decided to throw my chips away on Day 2 with the dumbest move ever."

Okay, we're down to a final two, but, more importantly, look at those spondoolies! 

Kiwi Kid vs. The Matador

Now we're heads up, about 19 million to Kirk Morrison, 13 million to Carlos Mortensen.  The break this time included the Money Presentation, where four scantily-clad ladies deposit huge bundles of money on the table until it looks like this:

[Djinn]

Carlos makes up the small blind, Kirk raises.  The expressionless Spaniard who appears to have the straightest posture of anyone I've ever seen at a poker table gives it up.  And the next one, although they made it to a J-9-4 flop first, Kirk taking it down there.
_______________________________

the next flop - that one bet and won by Carlos.
_______________________________

Kirk makes it a million to go on the button, this time called by Carlos.  The flop:  .  Check-check.
Turn:    Carlos bets "a handful," which turns out to be about 1.6 mil.  Kirk calls quickly.
River:    Carlos bets 4 million.  Kirk calls slowly.  Very slowly.  In fact, the whole lot for the call is separated from his stack and being held tentatively near the line for about five minutes, while he makes a decision.

Carlos, called, says he's got a King - his hand turns out to be K-2
Kirk shows (!) So he takes his time with all sorts...the Renegade Press Enclave outside the Arena are giving up trying to put him on hands.

[snoopy1239]

Blinds are currently at 200k and 400k.

EEK!

[snoopy1239]

Carlos wins a small pot with T-4 after both players checked down a K-T-9-7-2 rainbow board.

[snoopy1239]

Kirk bets 1 million on the end of a 9 , Carlos calls with a pair of nines (they didn't announce both hole cards), but Kirk wins with a Ten for a bigger pair.

[snoopy1239]

Next hand, Carlos moves all-in pre-flop. Kirk folds.

Perfect example of the shocking structure.

[Djinn]

Kirk bets 400k on a flop - it's his...
____________________________

And that was the last hand at 200k/400k.  Going Up!  300k/600k with a 75k ante - this was announced and Carlos - not being a fan of playing at that silly level with just(!) 4,000,000, moves in preflop.  Call!

Carlos shows:
Kirk shows: 

Flop: 
Turn:    ("Oooooh")
River: 

So back to 8 mil+ for Carlos...

[Djinn]

Limp-check (Button= Kirk).  Flop: .  Check-check.  Same with the turn and the river.  Pair of Sixes for Carlos wins him the pot.  Good old .
_________________________

Limp-check (Button= Carlos).  Flop:    Check-check.  Same with the turn and the river.  Kirk plays the board; King kicker gives Carlos that one too.
_________________________

Limp....raise all in from Carlos...pass.  Although we all heard, "Call," and the crowd did too.  Anticlimax, but I can't see this taking too long...

[snoopy1239]

Kirk makes up the blind and Carlos checks.

Flop =

Carlos checks, Kirk bets 600k and Carlos calls.

Turn =

Check, check.

River =

Carlos bets 4 million and Kirk folds.

We are currently on 30 minute levels.

What do you think of that?...
