Eskeland Takes Bigger Lead

Hold'em

Sigurd Eskeland raised from the button with Steve Sung calling. We were treated to a flop of {a-Spades}{k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}. Sung check-called a bet from Eskeland. The turn was the {6-Hearts} and betting followed the same pattern as the flop. The river was the {7-Hearts} and we once again saw Sung check-call a bet from Eskeland.

Eskeland showed {k-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} while Sung showed {a-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}. Eskeland's trip-kings were good for the pot. He's now up to 2,740,000 with Sung at 660,000.

2-7 Triple Draw

This hand had a ton of first round betting that started with Steve Sung raising from the button. Sigurd Eskeland called from the small blind, but Alexander Wice three-bet. Not one to be outdone, Sung four-bet with Eskeland making the call and Wice calling for the rest of his chips.

Each player drew one card with Eskeland and Sung checking the next round of betting.

On the second draw all three players chose to take just one card. Eskeland then check-called a bet from Sung.

While Wice stood pat on the last draw, Eskeland and Sung made a final single-card draw. Eskeland then bet with Sung thinking for a moment before folding.

Eskeland showed {2-}{3-}{4-}{6-}{7-} while Wice showed {2-}{4-}{6-}{7-}{8-} for the second-best hand.

We're now heading into heads up play and will be back after a short break.

Sung and Eskeland Almost Even

Pot-Limit Omaha

We got to this hand with Steve Sung betting 30,000 into the {10-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{2-Hearts} flop with Sigurd Eskeland making the call.

Both players checked the {a-Diamonds} on the turn as well as the {8-Spades} on the river, and it was Sung's {j-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{4-Spades}{3-Diamonds} that took the pot down.

Sung and Eskeland are both even with close to 1,500,000. Wice, meanwhile, is about 750,000 behind.
