Jan Heitmann Takes Big Pot From William Thorson

[user40108]

We caught up to this hand on the flop. It was heads up between Jan Heitmann and William Thorson. There was about 9,000 in the pot indicating a likely raise by Heitmann from the cutoff seat and a call from Thorson in the big blind. The board read {A-Clubs}

. Thorson checked from the big blind and Heitmann bet 5,000. Thorson made the call. The turn brought the {5-Diamonds}

and again Thorson check/called, this time a bet of 12,000. When the {K-Diamonds}

hit the river, Thorson rapped the felt again. Heitmann calmly placed three blue chips on a stack of the same, and slid them out; it was 23,000 for Thorson to call. Thorson counted out the call, then his remaining chips. In the span of about four minutes, Thorson shuffled the calling chips and double checked his hole cards repeatedly. He eventually folded and Heitmann took down the pot. Heitmann is now the clear chip leader with over 230,000 while Thorson is still very much in the mix with about 100,000.

Robert Cohen raised to 6,000 from middle position and action folded around to Felipe Ramos in the small blind who moved all in. Ramos had Cohen well covered and Cohen eventually made the call. The players showed:

Cohen: {2-Clubs}

Ramos:

Cohen failed to improve and wished his tablemates good luck as he headed for the door.

Roberto Romanello Eliminated

[user40108]

Roberto Romanello, who was the Day 1b chip leader briefly, was eliminated when he got the last of his chips in holding {K-Spades}

against the {K-Diamonds}

of Mattias Nordhamn. Romanello flopped a jack, but failed to improve by the river and he made a graceful and sportsmanlike exit.

Rolf Slotboom Doubles Up

[user50492]

Rolf Slotboom made it 5,500 pre-flop and the cutoff called. The flop was dealt out {Q-Clubs}

. When Rolf checked, the cutoff bet 7,000. Rolf took a few seconds and then moved all in for 40,200. He received a call and Rolf showed {A-Spades}

for the flopped straight. He was up against {K-Clubs}

. Rolf shouted for no paint and was rewarded with the {6-Clubs}

on the turn although this meant that any club, king or queen could have potentially eliminated him. The river was the {6-Diamonds}

and Rolf doubled up to 95,000.

Billy Gets One Through

[user50492]

Billy "The Croc" Argyros just got an all in push through as an attempt to gain some chips. The Aussie is now up to 24,000 which is still short but only a double up away from being right back in it.
