With over 10,000 already in the pot and the board showing the player in the small blind thought about his decision for a minute before sliding out a bet totalling 4,100. Charlie Carrel was his opponent in the hand and he called shortly after.
The completed the board and the small blind then reached for his chips and moved all in for 11,725. Carrel had him covered by 350 and had a decision to make.
"I ask for three minutes. That's ok?" Carrel asked his fellow tables mates.
"We like you and want you to stay so take as long as you like," added one of the players, before Carrel went into interrogation mode, studying his opponent and trying to find a read he could use.
Eventually, Carrel stacked up his chips and slid them forward. His opponent then revealed for two pair and took down the pot after Carrel showed for a lesser two pair.
Carrel was left with only 350 chips. We will have to wait and see if Carrel can make a recovery with less then one big blind in play.
While he may have had three final tables to his name already for 2017 for close to US$400,000 in tournament winnings for the year (and it’s only January) Ben Tollerene is enduring a slow start to his Aussie Millions Main Event.
Tollerene has been sitting close to starting stack for the majority of the day and that’s not changed any after just chopping a pot with a tablemate.
After action folded around to Tollerene on the button, he elected to open for 700 with both blinds making the call.
The dealer spread a flop of which brought checks from both small and big blind and after thinking it over Tollerene continuation bet 1,200.
While the small blind gets out of the way the big blind was going nowhere and tossed in the call to take play heads-up to the turn.
The big blind checked for the second time and Tollerene fired out a second bet, this time for 2,600, which is again called by the player in the big blind bringing the action to the river.
After the big blind checked for the third time Tollerene looked to be thinking about betting but decided against it and checked it back, rolling over . The big blind looked relieved and promptly tabled his own for a chop meaning Tollerene is still hovering on around 28,000.
There was around 9,500 in the pot when we arrived at the table with the cards spread . Three players were active and after both the small blind and another tablemate checked their options, it was then on Fast to speak in the cutoff.
Fast decided on a bet of 5,500 which was snapped off by the small blind, and after 30 seconds the third party also called it off.
Tabling for a flopped three of a kind Fast had his opponents beat and added a healthy pot to his stack.
Hong Kong’s Jay Tan is emerging as the current Day 3 frontrunner and is sitting pretty on a veritable mountain of chips.
Tan padded out her stack still further at the expense of a tablemate who opened the action from middle position with a raise to 700 with Tan making the call from the big blind.
Both players checked the flop and after Tan checked once more on the turn her opponent led out for 1,000. Tan reached for raising chips and bumped it up to 2,300. That was enough to take it down and Tan scoops yet another pot and looks to have close to 95,000.
Tristan Bain kicked things off with a preflop raise to 600 and Connor Drinan made the call from the button. The player in the big blind defended and the three of them went to a flop of .
The action was checked around before the dealer turned the .
Two more checks saw Drinan take a stab at it for 1,000. The big blind called and with Bain out of the way the river was revealed. A final check from the big blind meant the action was back on Drinan and after readjusting his sunglasses he flipped over for a rivered pair of jacks.
That was seemingly good as the big blind mucked and the pot was awarded to Drinan.
On a board of Tom Grigg checked from the small blind before Jackie Glazier bet out 4,200 from middle position. Tim English was also in the hand but opted to muck. Grigg called before both players checked the on the river.
Glazier quickly turned over for a flush and took down the pot after Grigg mucked his hand.
