Curious Hand - Danielsson Has the Upper Hand
They saw a flop, and Danielsson bet out a suspiciously small 5,500. Without any hesitation, Akenhead folded, leaving himself with 33,000 in chips. Danielsson, meanwhile, is up to over 50,000.
Break Time!
Chip Counts
Sliding down a bit -- Kent Hunter, at 51,000.
Holding steady -- Stephen "stevie444" Chidwick, at 31,000.
Hey Look! It's Marco Traniello!
We did notice him today, rocking an incredibly short stack. He got that stack of about 6,000 chips in the middle from under the gun and was called by the cutoff player. The cutoff showed down and was shocked -- as was everyone else watching the hand -- to see Traniello turn over . It was all over by the turn of a board that came down . Traniello doubled to 14,000 and, more importantly, is back on our radar screen.
Martin Clawing Back
He's got a pretty tough table now, though. He's sandwiched between John O'Shea and Irish Open final tabler, and tracksuit enthusiast, Jani Vilmunen.
No Singing, Just a Double-Up for Luske
Eldar's face went through a series of expressions that could only be described as comical. Puzzlement, frustration and outright bewilderment rippled across his face in rapid succession. His curiosity finally got the better of him; he shipped in a call and mucked upon being shown Luske's spade flush, .
Luske is up to 32,000.
