Chuck Danielsson raised the button to 17,000 before Peter Aristidou put in the three-bet to 45,000. Danielsson rocked back in his chair and cringed before making an apparant tough fold.
"That's a reluctant fold!" sighed Danielsson, but David Saab gave his usual laugh and didn't seem so convinced.
"What percentile do you think my hand was in there?" said the analytical Danielsson.
"King-ten off," came the reply from Saab, failing to address the question.
"I monster king-ten off!" responded Danielsson, which drew more laughter from the table, as another tablemate chipped in, "Mate, one thing to learn is that you don't bullshit with Australians!"

Catching the action on the turn in a blind on blind battle with Beng Hooi Beh, the action checked to Karita who fired 25,800 at the board. Beh thought for a long time before moving all in, covering his opponent.
It was then Karita's turn in the tank, and since all the other tables has already finished their hands during hand-for-hand play, a large crowd gathered around Karita as the suspense grew.
"Are there one or two players to go?" asked Karita of the floor staff.
"Two," came the reply.
"Ok, in that case I call!" declared Karita and tabled for a double gutshot straight draw, as Beh was in front with his .
The river was the and Karita was eliminated as we are now on the pure bubble of this event.
