Another large hand had Durrrr raising $18k after the flop of [4c 3c Jh] and Gus Hansen quickly raised Durrrr all-in for the rest of his stack. Durrrr called and they both showed their cards with Hansen showing [8c Js 8s Kc] while durrrr had [7h Qh Kh Jd]. The turn and river were [8h] [Ac] respectively and Gus Hansen won again with a flush this time Ace high against Durrr’s pair of jacks. Gus Hansen took the pot worth $95,605.

Patrik Antonius ($59,843) played against Resoh ($259,866) at the Harlin (heads up) table at FullTiltPoker.net. The limits at the poker table were $1000/$2000.

Since the game was limit hold-em the hands were noticeable smaller then other games I have written about in the past. But the average hand at the table was higher then a lot of games that I have watched at $10k. There were a lot of hands in the $13k range and not very many under $5k.

One of those hands had Resoh betting $2k which Patrik Antonius called pre-flop. The flop came down [Jd 3h 4d] and both players checked. The turn was a [7d] and Antonius bet $2k which was then raised to $4k and again Antonius raised it to $6k which Resoh called. The river card was a [3s] and Patrik Antonius checked while Resoh bet $2k which Antonius called. On the showdown Resoh showed [Kc Ks] and Antonius mucked his hand and Resoh took the pot worth $19,999.50.
After watching for about 75 hands the chip counts were:

Resoh ($270,851.50)
Patrik Antonius ($48,829.50)

Gus Hansen played heads up against Urindanger at two tables. They were playing at the Hansen Suckout as well as the Hansen Knockout. The table were both $500/$1000 Pot Limit Omaha Hi games.

At the Hansen Knockout Gus Hansen had $104,986 while had a dominating stack of Urindanger ($338,016). The opposite was true at the Hansen Suckout where Gus Hansen had a commanding chip stack of ($345,662) against Urindanger’s ($43,595.50).

Just my luck as I start watching the tables thinking I am going to see some great heads up action….Gus Hansen sits out and they don’t play anymore hands and I am able to watch 7 hands at each table barely enough to see anything very exiting.

luckexpress10 ($10,488) played against SirWatts ($61,495.50) at the Gaze heads up poker table at Full Tilt Poker.net. The table limits are $300/$600 and they played HA.

I haven’t posted in awhile but there really hasn’t been much high stakes action at Full Tilt. It may have been the times I have been checking but I kept striking out this week, it may be because of the SCOOP tournaments being played at Poker Stars or a large offline tournament.

One of the bigger hands played betweent he players was a hand where SirWatts raised to $1,200 after the hole cards which luckexpress10 called. The flop was [Qh Kh 6d] and luckexpress10 checked while SirWatts bet $1,800…after a bit of thinking luckexpress10 raised to $6,000 and SirWatts raised again to $22,200 and Luckexpress10 went all-in calling with his last $11,374. Both players showed at this time and SirWatts had [Kc Jh 3c Th] while luckexpress10 showed [Qd 8d 3d Qs]. The turn was a [ 4d] and the river a [2d]….giving luckexpress10 a queen high flush against SirWatts kings. Luckexpress10 then received the pot worth $38,347.50.

Another large pot had SirWatts again raising to $1,200 and a call from luckexpress10. The flop was [4c Kc Ks] and luckexpress10 checked while SirWatts bet another $1,200 and luckexpress10 just called. The turn was a [9h] and luckexpress10….you guessed it, he checked and again SirWatts bet this time $2,400…Luckexpress10 took some time and raised to $6k which was called. The river was a [Qs] and SirWatts bet $9k after luckexpress10 checked and luckexpress then went all-in with $29,647.50 and SirWatts called after requesting some time to think about the decision. SirWatts won with three kings against Luckexpress10’s two pair. SirWatts was then shipped the pot worth $67,864.50.

After watching for awhile and after the couple big hands the game slowed down and I stopped watching but at that point the chip counts were:
