Another round has come and gone and the chips, they are a-flowin'. Kind of. We're still not seeing much in the way of major action but here is what the last hour has produced:

Mosca Rebuilds

Short-stack when last we checked, David Mosca spent the last hour rebuilding his stack, making moves and taking pots, including a nice one from Sondre Sagstuen near the end of the last level. Mosca raised from the button and Sagstuen defended his big blind, and the flop came 8 7 4. Sagstuen checked-called the flop and then bet the turn, which was the Q. Mosca called and the river was the 8, prompting Sagstuen to fire again and Mosca to call, turning up pocket sixes to Sagstuen's T 9 and taking the pot.

Pot for Puckett

Sondre Sagstuen raised from middle position and Rayvenia Puckett called out of the small blind. Andy Ward called in the big blind and the flop came T 6 6, prompting a bet from Puckett, a fold from Ward, and a raise from Sagstuen. Pucket called and bet the turn, which was the 3. This time, Sagstuen simply called and the river was the 5. Both players checked and Puckett showed A T for two pair, while Sagstuen mucked a ten face-up as he surrendered the pot.

Vaswani Cruising like Huey and Gwyneth

Ram Vaswani limped from UTG and was joined in the pot by Sondre Sagstuen and David Mosca. The flop came K 9 2 and everyone checked to see the turn card, which was the T. Now Mosca checked but Vaswani bet and was raised by Sagstuen, prompting Mosca to fold and Vaswani to call. The river was the K and Vaswani checked to Sagstuen, who bet out $12,000. The Hendon Mobster made the call and turned up J T for a pair of tens, while Sagstuen, who is quickly emerging as the maniac of the table, felted 8 7 for eight-high. Vaswani took down the pot.

We're now on the second level of final table play, with blinds and limits as delineated below. Here's the top action from the last hour:

Straight for Vaswani

Action folds around to Ram Vaswani, who limps-in from the small blind. Sondre Sagstuen checks his option in the big blind, and the flop comes J-9-6. Vaswani bets out and Sagstuen calls, and the turn is a 10, prompting checks from both players. The river is a queen and Vaswani bets out again, prompting a snort of derision and a call from Sagstuen, who shakes his head and mucks when the Hendon Mobster turns up 8-7 for the low end of the straight.

Pot for Baker

David Mosca raises from middle position and Sondre Sagstuen re-ups from the small blind. David Baker makes it three bets from the big blind and both players call. The flop comes A T 6 and Sagstuen checks to Baker, who bets. Both players call and the turn is the 4. Baker again bets out and Mosca folds while Sagstuen matches the wager. The river is the 9 and Baker bets out a third time, this time inducing a fold from Sagstuen and taking a tidy pot.

Sagstuen = Hit with the Deck

David Mosca raises from middle position and Sondre Sagstuen re-raises from the cut-off. Mosca calls and the flop comes A-A-10, prompting a check from Mosca and a bet from Sagstuen. Mosca calls and the turn is a seven, putting two diamonds on the board. Again Mosca check-calls a bet from Sagstuen and the river is a third ace. Mosca checks a third time and Sagstuen bets out a third time, getting a call and turning up A J for quads to take the pot.

On the very next hand, Sagstuen raises from the hijack and is called by David Baker to his left. The flop comes 10-7-6 and Sagstuen bets out and is called. The turn is a queen and the same pattern is followed, with Sagstuen betting out and getting called. The river is a deuce and Sagstuen bets out a third time. Baker flat-calls again and folds out when Sagstuen turns up 9-8 for a flopped straight to take the pot.
