Guldhammer Picks Up Another One
Both players checked the flop and Fouquet bet out 100,000 on the turn. Guldhammer called.
Fouquet checked the river and then tanked up when Guldhammer bet 100,000. Eventually he called - but tapped the table and mucked when Guldhammer turned over pocket sixes for a full house. "Yes!" shouted Guldhammer with a loud clap.
Romanello's Misstep
We pick it up live as the dealer ran out a flop of . De Vivo led out with 35,000, and Romanello was right there with a quick call. The hit the turn, drawing a check from De Vivo this time. Romanello eyed up the size of the pot and stuck out a bet of 80,000 straight. De Vivo gave a good stare before confidently plunking the call into the pot.
The last card off was the , and De Vivo checked again. Without hesitation, Romanello announced an all in. It was an effective bet of 436,000, as that's all De Vivo had left. Still, it was a big overbet of the pot, and it took De Vivo aback. It would take several long minutes of staring and gear-turning thought before making up his mind. Very quietly, he announced, "I call."
"Good call," said Romanello, waiting to see if he'd have to show his cards first. De Vivo didn't make him; he turned up for top pair. It was a fine call; Romanello slid his cards into the muck and began counting out the chips required to pay his big debt. When the dust settled, we could see that Romanello's stack has been nearly halved down to about 820,000. De Vivo has now overtaken him, sitting pretty with about 1.15 million.
Three Outs With One to Come
Showdown
Klein:
Teng:
The first four cards were bricks for Klein, but salvation would come. A board of finally found Klein's ace, doubling him up over 850,000. Teng still has that covered, but his stack has taken a noticeable hit down to 960,000.
De Vivo Lives On
He opened for 40,000 in the cutoff and was faced with a reraise to 96,000 from Roberto Romanello on the button. Back to de Vivo, and he announced all in for 385,000. After some very serious cogitation, Romanello folded. De Vivo showed him one card - it was the . After a moment he showed him the other one too - it was the .
"Wow, nice hand," said Romanello unnecessarily.
Chris Dombrowski Eliminated in 15th Place (100,000 DKK)
Dombrowski:
De Vivo:
Board:
Dombrowski heads back to the USA with 15th place money. De Vivo however has a new lease on life - he's up to 520,000 after that.
Guldhammer Going For It
He was still stacking chips from the last pot when Yorane Kerignard open-shoved for 208,000. Guldhammer chuckled, capped his cards, and continued to stack the last pot. After a minute or so, he made the call, putting a player at risk for the second consecutive hand.
Showdown
Keringard:
Guldhammer: erm,
The board came down . Keringard had his double locked up before the river card was dealt, and he's worked himself back to about 440,000 thanks to that courtesy double.
Steven Vollers Eliminated in 16th Place (100,000 DKK)
Showdown
Vollers:
Guldhammer:
The flop was awfully bad for Vollers: . That removed two of his outs, but as it turned out, it would be irrelevant anyways. The peeled off on fourth street, locking up the pot for Guldhammer and ensuring a 16th-place finish for Vollers.
And Then There Were Two
Ricky Fohrenbach Eliminated in 17th Place (80,000 DKK)
The action moved on to Andrew Teng in the big blind. He tanked up. He asked Hansen how many chips he had (answer - 700,000 at the start of the hand). He tanked up some more. Then he went all in.
A very swift fold from Hansen later, and Teng and Fohrenbach were racing.
Fohrenbach:
Teng:
Board:
The board counterfeited Fohrenbach's pair, and he hit the rail. "Hey, take it down, man," were his final words to Teng as he headed for the cash desk. Teng is up to 1.4 million.
They've just broken a table, and play is about to resume.
