Swede Dreams

There's not that many Europeans that have been spotted here today as it's mostly a home field. However, we've just spotted Swede Mikael Norinder in the field, away from the coldness of a Nordic winter.

Norinder is a former EPT finalist and well known for his crazy game, so we're expecting fireworks.

GG Says GG to an Opponent

Garry Gates has started today on a surge taking down a major pot in the early exchanges.

We caught action on a flop of {6-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} with a bet of 3,700 in front of Gates from the small blind and the under the gun player having made the call. Action was on a third player in middle position who moved all in for 5,350.

Gates was the next to act and after pausing a moment, he announced all-in for around 10,000 chips. The under the gun player agonised over the decision in the tank before deciding to lay her hand down.

She looked please to see Gates roll over {6-Clubs}{6-Hearts} for a flopped set, and the middle position player with his {A-Diamonds}{k-Spades} top pair, top kicker.

"I had the same hand as you", she said to the middle position player.

The {8-Diamonds} turn would add a flush sweat to the mix for Gates, and when the red {5-Hearts} hit, it looked as though the opponent made his hand, but alas he hadn't.

Gates added the good pot to his now 27,000 chip stack while his opponent hits the rail.

Tony Finds The Keys

Proving to be no Dunst...
Proving to be no Dunst...
Tony 'Bond18' Dunst has just doubled up through former WSOPE Main Event finalist James Keys. Dunst had a fairly short stack but his {6-?} {6-?} held against Keys' {A-?} {8-?} on a {3-?} {9-?} {9-?} {Q-?} {10-?} board.

Adgee Ships the Justice?

On a flop of {8-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{9-Hearts} an early position player checked, and the hijack raised to 3,500. Andrew Jeffreys moved over the top all in to 5,075 total from the button and after thinking a moment the early position player folded. Action was back on the hijack who took his time before making the call and tabling {A-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}. Jeffreys' {6-Hearts}{2-Hearts} would be on a flush draw and needing to improve.

The help arrived with the {5-Hearts}. "NOW HOLD", screamed Adgee, causing the unsure dealer to pause a moment. "No heart" shouted Adgee again.

The dealer brought the {7-Hearts} crashing onto the felt.

"NOOOOOO!!!", came the shout from Adgee, before he realized he had made a straight flush.

"Straight flush", he said as it dawned on him. Adgee dragged the 12,000 chip pot to double through.

"Now that's shipping the justice," he added with a wry smile.

Set For Clint

Catching the action on a flop of {6-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}, a player in early position led out for 2,100 before Clint Jordanou popped it up to 7,000. His opponent moved all in and Jordanou was happy to call with {6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} for bottom set and a near lock on the hand against his opponent's {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}.

The turn was the {10-Clubs} and river the {K-Diamonds} and Jordanou doubles to around 28,000.

Benson Busts

Gary Benson has been sent to the rail just before the break, after his last 2,500 chips were in the middle with the pocket rockets against the pocket kings of Sarvesh Pershad. Benson was looking for a double up but a king on the turn was not what Benson wanted to see and he was sent to the rail.
