Kerignard Doubles Up, Petersen Takes Another Hit

Yikes. Jesper Petersen has taken a good few hits of late, and after this one he's down to just shy of 1.1 million. Yorane Kerignard, however, is feeling much more comfortable than he was before after doubling up to 686,000.

The chips went in preflop. The hands were not impressive.

Kerignard: {K-Spades} {9-Clubs}
Petersen: {3-Spades} {7-Clubs}

Board: {10-Spades} {6-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} {2-Clubs}

Loth Doubles Through Petersen

A brief raising war between Richard Loth (cutoff) and Jesper Petersen (button) ended with Loth all in and Petersen calling. Loth claimed he hadn't seen his hand, but we suspect that was not the truth.

Loth: {Q-Clubs} {Q-Hearts}
Petersen: {A-Clubs} {J-Hearts}

Board: a very emphatic {3-Clubs} {A-Diamonds} {Q-Spades} {3-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} to double up Loth to 800,000.

Morten v. Morten

An interesting hand just now on the featured table:

We joined the action on a flop of {K-Hearts} {3-Hearts} {6-Clubs}, a heads-up pot brewing between the two Mortens. When Klein checked, Guldhammer fired 200,000 at the pot. That sent Klein into the tank, long enough for the other Morten to call the clock on him. Just a few seconds into his countdown, Klein called.

The turn was the {9-Diamonds}, and the action went check-check. The river is where the fun really started.

The {Q-Spades} filled out the board, and Klein checked. Guldhammer is quite fidgety at the table, and Klein (and several players at the table) thought they saw Guldhammer check it back. With that, Klein tabled his {A-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds}. As it turns out, it was out of turn as Guldhammer had not checked.

"Floor!"

TD Thomas Kremser arrived with a quickness to sort everything out. Guldhammer was insistent that Klein's hand should be dead, even though that's not a possibility in this situation. He continued to argue that he wanted the hand killed, hinting at the fact that ace-three was the winner on that board. After another several minutes of arguing, Guldhammer check-folded his cards into the muck.

That unusual pot goes to Morten Klein, though he's been given a one-orbit penalty for acting out of turn.

Glo and Peter

Team PokerStars Pro Peter Eastgate was among the unfortunate early casualties of Day 4, but he's still mulling about the tournament area. Glo caught up with him a short while ago to chat about his demise and how he feels about playing in his home country. Check out what the World Champ had to say:

Hansen Plays Right Back

On the very next hand, Magnus Borg Hansen raised 53,000 into Roberto Romanello's big blind. When the action folded to Romanello, he returned the smirk in Hansen's direction.

"No need for that, is there?" he asked rhetorically. "You're taking it personally." He called.

Romanello checked in the dark once again as the flop came out {A-Clubs} {2-Diamonds} {K-Clubs}. A follow-up bet of 65,000 was enough for Hansen to take down the pot, and the two men shared a bit more chatter.

"One apiece," Romanello concluded. Let's see who wins the tie-breaking third encounter.

Romanello Telling Lies

Mr. Romanello
Mr. Romanello
Action is a bit more measured as the players return from break. We pick up a tiny pot that's the most action we've seen at the outer table this level.

Under the gun, Roberto Romanello opened to 50,000. Magnus Borg Hansen made the call from the button, and it was heads up the rest of the way.

Romanello checked dark as the dealer ran a flop of {J-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds} {3-Clubs}. Hansen checked behind, and the action repeated itself on the turn. The {10-Clubs} fell, and Hansen checked behind another Romanello dark check.

The last card off was the {3-Hearts} with no dark check this time. Romanello raised his eyebrows and fired the minimum bet, 24,000. Hansen chuckled and thought it over, with Romanello's verbal assistance.

"I haven't got anything," said the Welshman. "Okay, I'll tell you what I have. I have king-high. It's good, right?" After just another moment, Hansen called.

Romanello corrected himself: "I mean I have a pair of eights." He turned over {8-Diamonds} {8-Clubs}, and Hansen smirked again as he mucked.

"It's good to lie sometimes," added Romanello. "Only at the poker table."

Loth Loath to Call

Last hand before the break, Richard Loth opened with a standard raise only for Yorane Kerignard to reraise all in.

"Yorane reraises all in," announced Neil Johnson.

"Call!" shouted Roberto Romanello from the next table.

"Count," said Loth.

The all in was for 316,000 total. Loth looked horrified (although we think that might just be his default expression) and sat for a while with his head in his hands, muttering to himself. Then he folded.

Break time!
