Just around that point, he then moved all-in on the river of a
after Cristian Ranieri bet 8,000 on the river, getting the Italian to muck.
Claud-io is Quiet
. Lancia just sat there impassioned for over five minutes before James Dempsey called the clock. Eventually with about 30 seconds left Lancia casually folded.
Now That's a Sick Flop
. Gruissem tapped the table, and he didn't waste much time calling a bet of 1,600 from ElkY.Fourth street brought the
and another check-call from Gruissem, 4,600 this time.The last card off was the
, double pairing the board. When Gruissem checked a third time, ElkY made a bet of 11,100, leaving himself less than 5,000 behind. The final bullet sent Gruissem deep into the tank as he toyed with the decision for several agonizing minutes. Finally, and apparently reluctantly, he splashed the calling chips into the pot.Showdown
ElkY:
Oh. Oh, well then. I guess that's that. Gruissem held his cards above the muck for a moment, shaking his head. Eventually, he let the table see his coolered
as he sheepishly flipped them face-up in front of him. Flash bulbs were popping all around, and a crowd of players came flooding to the table to see just how good ElkY runs.Flopping the second nuts is usually a good thing, but not this time for Gruissem. He's down to about 10,000, while ElkY climbs just over 40,000.
Vissful Thinking
Just now we saw him losing a fairly chunky pot calling off around 3,000 on the river of an
board only to muck wheh his opponent turned over pocket queens. But even after that, Visser is on a very comfortable 40,000.
Out Of Dyer Straits
board with only 6,000 or so behind. Owen Crowe gave it some deep thought but decided against the call at the end. Dyer moves back up to 26,000.
Raising for Value?
It was three-handed and checked around on the flop when we joined the action. The turn put
on board, and Julien Labussier led out for 600 chips. Huub Verdonschot quickly called next door, while Sebastian Ruthenberg ducked out of the way.Heads up now, the
landed on the river to put two pair on board. Labussier fired again, 1,200 this time. Verdonschot counted out a small raise, and he made it 2,550 straight. The call came instantly from Labussier.Verdonschot tabled his
, giving him just a king kicker with his board pairs. Labussier promptly tabled for the big book, and that was easily enough to earn him the pot and a chip count of 38,000.Verdonschot has taken a small step back to 25,500 after that confrontation.
Cada Pipped
With the flop reading
Mauro Piacentino bet 1,800. Joe Cada made the call and Rebecca Gerin also called. The changed little and this time it was checked to Cada who bet 3,400. Gerin folded but Piacentino called before both players checked the river.Cada showed
but lost out as Piacentino showed to have him just beat as we went onto the break.
Master Enslaves Pescatori
flop and it checked around to Men Nguyen in the cutoff who almost string-bet 1,800. The floor was called over and informed that Nguyen had had all the requisite chips in his hand but had very quickly laid them out in three stacks rather than all at once. The TD ruled that that was ok because he'd done it really quickly, and the bet stood. Two player folded, but Max Pescatori in the hijack made the call.They proceeded to check down the
turn and saw a river, which Pescatori checked as well. Nguyen bet 5,000 and Pescatori called - but the Italian Pirate mucked to the Master's .Current standings: Nguyen 40,000, Pescatori 24,000.
All Change for Boeken
flop which Mr. Big Blind checked. Boeken bet 600, which his opponent swiftly called.The turn was the
and again Mr. Big Blind checked. Boeken announced, "Thirteen," and pushed an orange 25,000-denomination chip across the line. "Thirteen thousand," announced the dealer impassively and Boeken's eyes opened wide. "Thirteen hundred," he said quickly, and once the dealer had been corrected, that was where the bet stood. His opponent called, and there was a lengthy pause while another player at the table counted out change for a 25,000 chip with all the speed and precision of a small child learning numbers for the first time. Eventually they proceeded.The river was the
and Mr. Big Blind checked for a third time. This time Boeken checked behind and turned over for a pair of eights. His opponent turned over 
for a straight that he had presumably been hoping that Boeken would bet into on the river. Boeken dipped to 24,500 - but on the plus side, now that he's changed up the 25,000 chip, it looks like a lot more.
