Wu's Your Daddy

Wu who? Wu hu!
Wu who? Wu hu!
Indeed, Raymond has been relatively active at the non-feature table. The next hand he got his chips back when Rui Milhomens raised his button to 95,000 and Wu made it 235,000 to go. After some silent and not terribly gripping tankage, Milhomens passed.

Small Ball for All

Not much in the way of big pots here at the moment, or indeed flops.

The only flop we've seen at the non-TV table since we came back from break was one that came down {9-Diamonds} {6-Clubs} {8-Diamonds} following a button raise from Tobias Reinkemeier and a call from big blind Raymond Wu. Wu checked it, Reinkemeier bet 150,000, and Wu passed.

Snapping With Ace-High

Dominic Cullen raised to 77,000 and Michael Berry makes the call.

{9-Hearts} {5-Spades} {8-Hearts}

Cullen bets 125,000 and Berry calls.

{5-Clubs}

Check....and check.

{8-Diamonds}

Cullen checks again, Berry furrowed his brow and then bet 125,000. Cullen immediately called and Berry showed {Q-?} {J-?}, Cullen flipped {A-Clubs} {Q-Hearts} to win the pot.

Squeezy Does It for Cullen

Michael Berry raised to 75,000 under the gun and got calls from Ivo Donev in the cutoff and Rodrigo Caprioli on the button, before big blind Dominic Cullen made it 285,000 to go. Berry looked at him, then looked down at the pot. Eventually he sighed. "That's a big squeeze," he said. After a while he folded, and like very flat paper dominoes, Donev and Caprioli's cards followed Berry's into the muck.

Donev Donates a Third of His Stack to Gudvangen

Here's some curious action for you.

Josef Samanek raised to 65,000 and Ivo Donev called on the button. Over to Martin Gudvangen, who made it 229,000. Samanek passed, but Donev now four-bet to 560,000. Gudvangen squinted for a moment, before looking straight at the dealer and telling him, "All in." A few moments' dwelling from Donev, and he folded.

Donev - down to 850,000
Gudvangen - our new chip leader on 2.525 million
