Trancrash! Theo Tran Eliminated In 23rd Place (£17,000)

[user76023]

Martin Gudvangen raised preflop to about 60,000 and Theo Tran made it 150,000. Gudvangen reraised all-in and Tran looked pained but called.

Gudvangen: {J-Clubs}

Tran:

The flop came down {4-Diamonds}

and Victor Ramdin shouted, "Put a queen out there!"

The turn {10-Hearts}

killed the hand dead, so the {Q-Clubs}

on the river was just insult to injury.

Tran frantically counted his chips down until it became more and more apparent that Gudvangen had him covered. He left immediately, very disappointed.

Bye-Bye Byers - Eliminated in 24th Place (£17,000)

[user46392]

It looked as though Michael Berry limped under the gun, only for Philip Byers to move in for his last 272,000. Martin Gudvangen re-shoved, the blinds and Berry got out of the way, and they were on their backs.

Byers: {A-Diamonds}

Gudvangen: {8-Spades}

Board:

Thus we lose our first Day Four-onaut, and Gudvangen bumps his stack up to 880,000.

Gudvangen's Sneaky Push

[user76023]

Ivo Donev raised from the button and Martin Gudvangen reraised all from the big blind. Donev considered it but folded. Gudvangen lifted his cards up high, so that everyone behind him, but no-one at the table, could see the {8-Diamonds}

in his hand.

A Thousand Men, Now Only Five Hundred...

[user76023]

Rui Milhomens raised to 54,000 and Aaron Gustavson called.

The flop was {6-Spades}

and Milhomens bet 75,000. Call.

On the {J-Diamonds}

turn, Milhomens bet 150,000 to which Gustavson moved all-in. Milhomens instantly folded, leaving himself with 500,000 left. Gustavson is up to about 1.3 million.

Annette Not Rolling Obre

[user46392]

Meanwhile on the other table, Annette Obrestad and Tobias Reinkemeier were involved in a blind-on-blind confrontation, looking down at a {5-Spades}

flop. Obrestad checked and Reinkemeier bet 75,000 -- but Obrestad calmly announced all in, and he folded without any fuss.

Berry Throwing His Chip Weight Around

[user46392]

Michael Berry made it 80,000 under the gun and it folded around to Martin Gudvangen in the cutoff who re-popped for 200,000 total.

Berry, who today has opted to stack his chips in blogger-unfriendly stacks of what looks like 15 or so, dwelled up for long enough that we witnessed a whole hand come and go on the other table, before four-betting to 500,000. Fold.

While On Table 2...

[user76023]

Josef Samanek comes in for a raise and Jonathan Weekes reraises all-in for an additional 205,000 more. The Czech player puts on a pensive stare but then decides to fold.

Kenneth Hicks pushes all-in preflop in the next hand, but receives no callers.

10-06-2009 13:31 UTC+2

On Table 1...

[user76023]

Martin Gudvangen makes it 49,000 UTG and Rodrigo Caprioli calls in the big blind, but check-folds to a 71,000 bet on a {J-Spades}

bet.

Theo Tran bets 60,000 on a {K-Diamonds}

flop but instantly folds when Dominic Cullen check-raises to 130,000.

No Craziness Yet

[user46392]

A slow start so far, at least at the feature table. Peter Eastgate has taken a couple very minor hits, first raising but folding to a reraise from Raymond Wu, and then calling a raise from Marty Smyth but folding to a continuation bet on the flop.

Level: 23

Blinds: 12,000/24,000

Ante: 2,000
