Mortensen Pulling Ahead

Winning a series of small pots without showdown, Carlos Mortensen is gaining a slight chip lead in game two. If he wins this one, he will move on to play Barry Woods in the next match. Perhaps Smith is missing the support of his short-lived rail. Smith's Vegas roommate Tony Dunst busted from the six-max event in 13th place, and Dunst and Ryan Fee took off. Now Woods is the only person left keenly observing the match.

Mortensen - 13,000
Smith - 7,000

Matador Takes Game 1 from the King

Dan Smith did his best to come back from the dead, but his streak of doubles came to halt after three.

Smith: {10-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}
Mortensen: {k-Spades}{6-Spades}

Smith called for a four, and he got what he'd asked for, but Mortensen also got some help from the {k-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{3-Clubs} flop. The {5-Hearts} turn and {2-Spades} river further improved Carlos to a six-high straight. After two hours, game one goes to the Matador.

Smith requested a break to get some lunch from the food court upstairs. They will start the second game in 10 minutes.

Double, Double, Toil, and Trouble

Moments ago, Dan Smith was down to just 550. He was all in blind with {6-Diamonds}{3-Spades} against Mortensen's {j-Hearts}{10-Spades}. The {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds} board rivered Smith a four-flush to double once.

Next Smith got it in with {8-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} against Mortensen's {8-Spades}{6-Hearts}. "Chop it up," Smith said. But he got better than a chop with a four on the river. Next he was all in with {a-Hearts}{6-Clubs} against Mortensen's {q-Clubs}{6-Spades} and held to double for a third time. Smith could make a go of it now, but with blinds going up to 400/800, he's going to need some more help from that horseshoe.

Mortensen's Wheel Flattens Smith

Dan Smith had the best of it when they got all in this time.

Smith: {9-Clubs}{9-Spades}
Mortensen: {a-Hearts}{2-Spades}

"Good luck, sir," Smith said. He probably didn't mean it quite so literally. The {10-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{4-Spades} flop gave Mortensen a gutshot, and the {3-Diamonds} on the turn ended the sweat. "Guess it's gonna be tough for me to win this one," said the drawing-dead Smith.

As he counted out the chips to double Carlos, leaving himself only 550, Barry Woods chimed in from the rail. "How does that horseshoe feel now, Dan?"

Smith Vaguely Wins Pot

On a {k-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} board, Dan Smith bet 1,625. After a minute, Carlos Mortensen called. The river was the {j-Spades}. Smith moved all in, and as Mortensen tanked, Smith bowed his head and stared at the felt. After a minute, Carlos folded. "You need a diamond too?" he asked.

"I did not need another diamond," Smith responded.

"You already had it?"

"I didn't say that either. I'm intentionally being vague," Smith said. They are almost exactly even now.

Human Auto Shuffler

To keep the action swift today, they have set up the table with one dealer and one person sitting next to the dealer shuffling a deck for the next hand. While they've been pushing the dealer as usual, the poor human shuffle machine has been riffling non-stop for an hour and half. He finally got a break as a new shuffle-bot has replaced him.

Small Ball

Blinds are at 200/400, but Dan Smith and Carlos Mortensen are keeping things calm. After a few shove/call hands 20 minutes ago, they've only gotten to showdown in pots that were checked down. Stacks are still close to even.
