Players Are On A Short Break

[user76023]

There's a technical difficulty with the set which they're just fixing now.

As far as we're concerned, all of life's problems can be solved by hitting them with a hammer.

Doing Gud So Far

[user46392]

Martin Gudvangen raises to 190,000 and Nikolai Senninger calls; it's just the two of them to the {7-Diamonds}

flop.

Gudvangen looks at it for a moment before betting out 320,000. Senninge also stares at the flop for a while and appears to be dozing off. He sleepily threads 25,000-denomination chips, giving us hope of action -- but he eventually folds, and Gudvangen takes the pot.

Eastgate Takes Another

[user76023]

Aaron Gustavson min-raises to 120,000 and Peter Eastgate calls.

{A-Hearts}

Gustavson bets 170,000 but Eastgate raises to 590,000. A moment of dwelling from Gustavson with the merest hint of a slight gurn, but he folds.

Eastgate Puts Pressure On Cullen

[user46392]

Dominic Cullen raises to 140,000 on his button, but Peter Eastgate in the small blind eyes up his remaining stack before reraising to 335,000. Big blind Rui Milhomens gets out of the way, and eventually so does Cullen.

Eastgate up to 3.485 million.

Gudvangen Wins A 1.5 Million Pot

[user76023]

Martin Gudvangen raised preflop and Aaron Gustavson defended from the big blind.

Both players checked the {J-Clubs}

flop before Gudvangen fired 165,000 on the {5-Spades}

and the chip leader called. The river was the {7-Diamonds}

and Gustavson checked a third time, Gudvangen betting 415,000 and Gustavson called again.

The Norwegian showed {Q-?}

and his two pair was good.

Big Stack Gets Bigger

[user46392]

Aaron Gustavson min-raises to 120,000 and Rui Milhomens calls; they go heads up to a {K-Diamonds}

flop, which they both check.

Gustavson bets out 160,000 on the {8-Spades}

turn and Milhomens disappears into the tank for a while, his eyes rolling all over the shop as he considers his options, but eventually gives it up.

Gustavson up to 7.4 million, well over a third of the chips in play.

Senninger Not Taking It Lion Down

[user46392]

Nikolai Senninger, the fluffy Lion King toy mascot rather undermining his be-sunglassed cool, raises preflop. Nobody finds anything they want to call with though, and he takes it down. The Lion King toy remains impassive.
