Steady as She Goes

The players returned today very (60 bb average) so it comes as no surprise that play has gotten off to a slow start. There have been a couple of shoves by no callers as yet.

Overnight chip leader, Pasi Sormunen, has dropped back a big after getting overly aggressive.

He opened to 22,000 from under the gun and Russell Carson defended his big blind to see a flop appear.

Sormunen continued for 28,000 and was check-raised up to 83,000 by Carson. His answer was to three-bet to 168,000 but he had to admit defeat when the Canadian shoved for 200,000 chips more.
