Hand #71 - Matthew Woodward

Dag Mikkelsen raises to 240,000, a minimum raise. Matthew Woodward calls for a flop of {4-Spades} {5-Clubs} {7-Clubs}. Woodward checks. The ever-aggressive Mikkelsen bets 325,000. Woodward check-raises all in for about 3,375,000, a move that clearly is not what Mikkelsen wanted to see. It looks like he's doing math in his head now while the dealer cuts down Woodward's stack to get an exact total. After two minutes in the tank, Mikkelsen says, "Tight fold" and gives up his hand.

Hand #69 - Mikhail Tulchinskiy

Dag Mikkelsen raises from the small blind to 360,000. Mikhail Tulchinskiy, looking every bit the Russian, matches the bet. It's another big and coordinated flop, {Q-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} {10-Hearts}. Mikkelsen quickly checks, drawing a half-pot bet of 360,000 from Tulchinskiy. Dag calls.

The deck and the dealer conspire to produce the {3-Hearts} on the turn. Both players check that card; the {8-Spades} then hits the river. Dag Mikkelsen bets 1.1 million and is snap-called, which can't be good for him. He shows down top pair, {Q-Diamonds} {4-Clubs}; Tulchinskiy has that handily beat with {J-Clubs} {10-Clubs}, trip tens.

Hand #68 - Matt Woodward

It folds right around to Matt Woodward in the small blind, who thinks about it for a moment before just limping. Big blind Mikkelsen checks, and they see a flop.

Flop: {8-Hearts} {Q-Clubs} {A-Diamonds}

Woodward bets out 300,000, and Mikkelsen gives it up there and then.

Hand #64 - Tulchinskiy and Woodward Chop It Up

Tulchinskiy opens for 350,000, and gets himself called by Woodward in the small blind.

They see a flop: {6-Spades} {3-Diamonds} {4-Clubs}

Woodward checks to Tulchinskiy, who checks behind.

The turn: {10-Clubs}

Again, they check.

River: {Q-Spades}

Again, both players check -- and they chop it up, Woodward turning over {A-Clubs} {9-Spades} and Tulchinskiy showing him {A-Spades} {9-Hearts}.
