On the turn, Paul Carr check-called 135,000, and then 155,000 on the river. When the cards were flipped, it looked like Mitchell was making a value bet on the end, thinking his was ahead, but it wasn't, Carr tabling for top pair.

On the turn, Paul Carr check-called 135,000, and then 155,000 on the river. When the cards were flipped, it looked like Mitchell was making a value bet on the end, thinking his was ahead, but it wasn't, Carr tabling for top pair.
The flop was and Mitchell bet a suspiciously small 250,000 but it was enough to make the Finn fold. The Englishman has dominated proceedings since the dinner break.
A river led to another bet from Mitchell, this time for 350,000, but Valikoski made the fold. Nevertheless, Mitchell extends his lead and is looking like the most likely to become the 2010 Irish Open Champion.

"Looks like check-fold," predicted Neil Channing in the commentary box, and he was right, as Carr did indeed release his hand.
After Mitchell checked the flop, Valikoski bet out for 125,000, which was enough to pick up the pot.
