Event Info
We get a flop of . Woodward bets 475,000 after Tulchinskiy checks. Tulchinskiy then springs a trap (perhaps?) by check-raising to 1.2 million. Woodwards thinks, then thinks, then flat calls, drawing raised eyebrows from the assemblage.
The comes on the turn. Tulchinskiy leans back in his chair, scratches the back of his neck, and checks. Woodward quickly moves in his whole stack; Tulchinskiy just as quickly folds. By grabbing that pot he has grabbed the chip lead, something that was unthinkable about two hours ago.
Woodward bet out 450k on the and that's as far as it went.
Mikkelsen:
de Korver:
Oh my. It's a race. And de Korver has been running really good against Mikkelsen today. So nobody is surprised in the media room when de Korver flops two pair, . Mikkelsen is looking for a queen or a ten, but they're nowhere to be found. Brick , brick . Mikkelsen can't get to the next break fast enough. By doubling up de Korver twice in three hands, Mikkelsen has given back all of the chips from his chip lead and has turned this back into a four-handed game that anyone could win.
Mikkelsen:
de Korver:
A roar from de Korver's supporters as he flops the nuts - ! Mikkelsen is drawing dead after the turn ; the counting process begins after the river . de Korver is very much alive once again, and Mikkelsen looks like his head is about to explode.
They saw a flop and Woodward led out for 900,000. A swift fold later and the pot headed for Woodward's stack.
The river can't have changed much. Woodward checks the action to Tulchinskiy. He checks behind. Woodward shows down ; Tulchinskiy can't beat that hand, despite what his turn call might have suggested.
