Mizzi Increases Lead

Frederik Jensen raised preflop and Sorel Mizzi called. The flop came down {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs} and both players checked. The turn was the {2-Spades} and Mizzi fired 160,000. Jensen called. The river completed the board with the {6-Clubs} and Mizzi fired 395,000. Jensen tanked and then mucked his hand, giving Mizzi the pot to increase his chip lead.

Jetten Back to Life

Peter Jetten is moving on up the leaderboard after winning a big pot with no showdown.

Sorel Mizzi opened with a raise to 140,000 from under-the-gun and received calls from both Frederik Jensen on the button and Jetten in the big blind.

The flop came down {10-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} and the action was checked to Mizzi who fired a 265,000 continuation bet. Jensen folded but when the decision returned to Jetten, he moved all in for 1,375,000. Mizzi mini-tanked and released his hand, surrendering the pot to Jetten.

After the hand, we counted Jetten at 2.1 million in chips.

With the blinds now at 30,000/60,000, we expect the action to pick up a bit, as every blind steal is now worth 115,000 in chips.
