Soren Eriksen Eliminated by Markus Golser

[user40108]

After a raise and reraise preflop, Soren Eriksen found himself all in against Markus Golser. Golser had a virtual stranglehold on the hand, holding {A-Clubs}

against the {9-Spades}

of Eriksen. Eriksen remained optimistic until the river card fell, but he got no help from the community cards, and after a final count by the floor staff, Golser indeed had him covered and he headed for the door.

Todd Brunson Gives Up Some Chips

[user40108]

Action folded around to Todd Brunson in the cutoff seat and he raised to 8,500. The big blind, Marco Della Monica, reraised Brunson an additional 18,000. Brunson thought a bit before calling. The flop fell {J-Diamonds}

and both men checked. Fourth street brought the {J-Spades}

. Della Monica checked and Brunson casually bet 22,000. Della Monica verbally declared, "Forty-four thousand," and before he could even finish making the bet, Brunson mucked his hand. Despite giving up some chips, he is still a threat with 160,000.
