Lapin It Up
Unfortunate Opponent: for an overpair
Lapin: for a set
Turn:
River:
His opponent merely looked irked and walked off; Lapin, although he is what we in the poker blogging world call a "dirty stacker", seems to have in the region of 110,000.
The Fisherman Reels in Nielsen
Nielsen didn't waste much time calling, and the landed on fourth street. He knocked the table again, and Visser made it 6,500 to go. Nielsen asked for an estimate of his remaining chips before sticking in a check-raise to 16,200. Visser quickly said, "All in," pushing his final 30,925 chips across the line. It was less than 15,000 for Nielsen to call (getting nearly 4-to-1 on his money), but he wasn't so sure. After a minute of debate, Visser piped up: "That bad?"
"Yeah, that bad..." said Nielsen, trailing off. He continued to mumble quietly to himself for another minute or so before sliding his cards muckward. Visser told him he could pick a card to see, and Nielsen drew the . For what it's worth.
Visser is up to about 57,000 after dragging down that pot without the other half of a showdown.
Sarwer Kicks Tournament Bucket
There was an initial raise to 800, before Sarwer shoved for a somewhat disproportionate sum from the cutoff - we think it was around 18,000. Unfortunately for him, the button woke up with aces, and Sarwer's pocket sixes failed to spike.
Another One Bites the Nielsen Dust
Nielsen sat calm and still while his opponent squirmed, and after some minutes of torture the hapless gentleman called all in - only to muck his hand when Nielsen turned over for a full house.
Nielsen is up to roughly 90,000.
Notables Thriving
Arnaud Mattern - 112,000
Dario Minieri - 83,000
Cornel Cimpan - 66,000
Peter Hedlund - 63,000
Jan Skampa - 62,000
Martin Came, Martin Wendt
"That is good play," said Wendt. He folded too, and his big blind opponent declined to show.
Wendt is still very comfortable, though, on 55,000.
193 Runners in the House
Hougaard Doubles Up
It looked as though the chips went in on the , two-spades flop, Hougaard holding for top pair, top kicker, and Skampa holding for a flush draw. Neither the on the turn nor the on the river was a spade, and Hougaard doubled to around 40,000. Skampa is not any trouble, though - he remains on a very healthy 65,000.
