Levi Arrives 10 Minutes Late - Leaves After 15 Minutes

[user76023]

"If only I'd arrived 12 minutes late," said the 'Hatpimp' Nicolas Levi.

He then proceeded to recount his tale of woe, calling of a raise with {4-?}

to see a flop of {Q-?}

against an Italian player and Eric Liu.

Levi checked, the Italian player bet 5,000 and Liu called. Levi also called before leading out for 5,000 on the {9-?}

turn.

This time the Italian folded and Liu called, "By now the pot was 26,000 and I only had 16,000 left," said Levi, "The river was the {J-?}

and I bet 11,000 and had to call all-in for the last 5,000. Maybe I should bet 5,000 and fold to a push? I don't know, I need to speak to Eric Liu about it."

Either way Nicolas Levi is now on the rail.

Not Willie Good, But Quite Good

[user46392]

After a rather lacklustre start, Willie Tann has made a bit of a recovery -- he's back up to 26,000 after his pocket sevens stayed good on a ten-high board to pick up a medium-sized pot.

Kimber Means Business

[user46392]

Jeff Kimber raised in early position and Christian Harder and JP Kelly called behind. Martins Adeniya in the cutoff, however, made it 2,450 to go. It folded back to Kimber -- who four-bet to 9,000. Harder and Kelly folded faster than an origami master on intravenous espresso, and after a moment Adeniya passed too.

"Show the bluff!" demanded Neil Channing cheerfully, but Kimber declined to show anything.

Kimber: 30,500
Adeniya: 15,300

Kimber Sliced

[user76023]

If there was a bunny made purely out of happiness, Jeff Kimber would definitely not be it.

He told us, "JP Kelly is so golden...I had {5-?}

on a

board but by the river he had a flush with {7-Hearts}

and crippled me."

Kimber is still in, but down to around 11,000 and has just moved to the Anthony Lellouche/Julian Thew table.

JP Kelly has taken over the Jonathan Aguiar seat (we presume the latter is out) and is sitting next to Vitaly Lunkin on a tough table which includes Christian Harder and William Thorson.

How Swede It Is...

[user76023]

Jonas Molander raised preflop and got two callers, including Stevie Devlin on the button and the small blind.

The flop was {J-Clubs}

and all three players checked. On the {K-Clubs}

turn, Molander bet and only Devlin called but even he folded to a 2,700 bet from Molander on the {10-Diamonds}

river.

Birds of a Latecoming Feather Make Their Late Entrance Together

[user46392]

Dwan But Not Out

[user46392]

With around 30,000 in the pot by the river of the {K-Diamonds}

, one player moved in for his last 12,500. Tom Dwan dwelled up for some time, blinking very fast and occasionally squinting at the ceiling. Eventually he called -- and then mucked when his opponent turned over {A-Diamonds}

.

Dwan is down to 16,700.
