Hand #83 - Max Greenwood

Rene Mouritsen has the button in Seat 4 and folds. Albert Iversen then completes the bet from the small blind and when the action falls to Max Greenwood he opts to raise, kicking it up to 110,000. Iversen makes the call and sees a flop of {6-Clubs} {8-Hearts} {K-Clubs}.

Both players check and the turn comes {2-Hearts}. Iversen then leads out with a bet of 175,000 and Greenwood reaches for a stack of green 25,000-denomination chips, counts them down and makes the call.

The last card off the deck is the {4-Clubs} and this time Albert fires a 300,000-chip bullet. Greenwood quickly calls and Iversen tables {A-?} {8-?} for a pair of eights. Greenwood then produces pocket jacks and his cheering section goes nuts, as he rakes in yet another pot, adding to his newfound chip lead.

Hand #82 - Max Greenwood

Max Greenwood has the button in Seat 2. He raises to 85,000, Rene Mouritsen folds, and Albert Iversen makes the call.

Flop: {K-Diamonds} {7-Hearts} {6-Hearts}. Iversen checks it, and Greenwood checks behind.

Turn: {2-Clubs}. Iversen leads out 130,000. Greenwood makes the call.

River: {8-Diamonds}. Iversen fires out another 300,000-chip bet, sending Greenwood into the think tank. He slides his hand up and down a stack of orange chips as he eyes up his opponent. After a couple minutes, he raises the mimimun, making it 600,000 total. After a little good-natured chit-chat between the players, Iversen makes the call. Greenwood shows down {K-?} {8-?}, and it is the winner. He drags down a big pot, and takes over the chip lead, now sitting with 2,692,000.

The action then falls to Rene Mouritsen who asks for a count of Greenwood's remaining chips. After he gets the information he's looking for (821,000), Rene announces that he's all in. Greenwood quickly makes the call and finds himself well ahead of his opponent:

Greenwood: {9-Spades} {9-Hearts}
Mouritsen: {8-Hearts} {7-Hearts}

The board filled out {J-Diamonds} {3-Spades} {3-Hearts} {10-Clubs} {Q-Clubs} in favor of Greenwood who now sits with 1,854,000 in chips! Mouritsen dropped to 1,548,000 in the loss and is now the table's short stack.

Greenwood has added over one million in chips to his stack over the last eight hands!
