| Erik Christensen (Miami, FL) spent most of the day with a stack below the chip average, but winning two pots in a row have changed the complexion of his day. |
Erik Christensen (Miami, FL) had a difficult time finding some traction over the first half of the day, but just won back-to-back hands, and is now peaking. Christensen was all-in and at risk (for 22,600) just two hands ago, holding K♠ K♣ against Brian Hastings' J♠ J♥. The K♥ 2♠ Q♥ 7♥ Q♠ runout would see Christensen lock up the double, which helped him chip up to 47,000.
The very next hand, after a player limped from under-the-gun, players would fold around to Brian Hastings (in the small blind). Brian completed, while Erik checked his option (in the big), as the three checked a flop of 8♥ 2♦ 4♣. After the 6♠ on the turn, Hastings would check once again, but this time Christensen bet out 900. Both players came along, and watched as the K♠ hit on the river. The blinds would check, and the original limper took a shot, putting out a bet of 4,500. The wager was enough to get Hastings to fold, but Christensen was a little sticky. He'd count out the chips for a call, and toss them onto the felt. Erik's opponent shook his head and tabled A♥ J♠, with Christensen tabling 7♣ 4♦, as his pair of fours were good to win the pot.
Erik went from 22,600 to 60,700 in a matter of two hands, and now has his sights firmly set on finding a bag.
Erik Christensen - 60,700 (75bb)
