Portlen Improves Twice

Eugene Portlen called the all-in bet of a short-stacked player who turned over {A-Clubs} {6-Diamonds}. It was a hand that was marginally ahead of Portlen's {Q-Diamonds} {J-Clubs}. The {9-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} {7-Clubs} flop missed both players, but brought an up-and-down straight draw for Portlen. He hit a pair on the turn with the {J-Spades}, then filled his draw on the river {8-Clubs}. Just the pair would have been enough to send his opponent out of the tournament.

Portlen now has approximately 7,000 in chips.
