Rosa Wilts

We're not sure how the action went but the cards looked like so by the end of the hand:

Thang Duc Nguyen: {A-Clubs} {K-Clubs}
Giacomo Rosa: {K-Hearts} {8-Hearts}

Board: {6-Clubs} {8-Spades} {7-Hearts} {A-Diamonds} {2-Spades}

Rosa shook hands with everyone at the table and headed for the payout desk. Nguyen found himself up to 1.6 million.

Thorson Gets Demonised

"Ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight?"
"Ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight?"
William Thorson pondered, before calling a reraise in position against Ramon Demon Cseri. The Swede, younger brother of Team Pokerstars Pro William Thorson, was the chip leader and had been bullying his table fairly constantly for a while.

The flop came {Q-Spades} {9-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds} and Cseri led out for 290,000. Thorson quickly moved all-in and Cseri snap-called showing {A-Clubs} {A-Hearts} to Thorson's {7-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds}. The most blatant blanks appeared on the {3-Hearts} turn and {2-Clubs} river and Cseri doubled up to almost 2.2 million in chips.

No Go For Trigo

Paul Pires-Trigo has just been knocked out after pushing with {10-Hearts} {7-Spades} and running into Gijs Verheijen {J-Diamonds} {J-Spades}. This left him with mere shrapnel left and he was eliminated next hand when his {Q-?} {3-?} couldn't over come {A-?} {3-?} on a {7-?} {6-?} {6-?} {J-?} {J-?} board.

She's Got It

Erik Tamm opened to 75,000 from middle position, and the table folded around to Liv Boeree's small blind. She looked like she had raising on her mind as she slowly cut out chips and shot a few sideways glances across the table. Eventually, she settled on 170,000 and slid it across the line. Tamm thought it over for a minute or two before announcing an all in, and Boeree called with no delay, committing her final 684,000 chips to the pot to put herself in jeopardy.

Showdown
Tamm: {K-Clubs} {J-Spades}
Boeree: {A-Spades} {A-Clubs}

The {J-Hearts} appeared right in the door, which was a bit of a scare for Boeree. In the end though, the board of {4-Clubs} {4-Hearts} {J-Hearts} {6-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} is safe and clean, holding Boeree's aces and notching her a huge double up to about 1.42 million.

Duc Duc Lose

Thang Duc Nguyen is back down to 750,000 after a run-in with Dermot Blain.

We caught up with them on the turn of a {5-Hearts} {4-Diamonds} {6-Clubs} {9-Hearts} board with Nguyen betting out 100,000. Blain called and they saw the river.

The river was the {2-Spades} and Nguyen bet out 185,000 but Blain asked Nguyen to count out his remaining chips before raising to 750,000. Nguyen tanked up for a long time, and eventually folded.

Anas Tadini - Out
Anas Tadini - Out
Anas Tadini bet out on a {Q-Clubs} {6-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds} flop and, after some considerable thought, called all in to the push from Thang Duc Nguyen.

Tadini: {9-Spades} {9-Diamonds}
Nguyen: {Q-Hearts} {J-Spades}

Turn: {3-Spades}

River: {6-Spades}

Tadini hit the rail, and to an extremely excited, "YESSS!!!" from one of his buddies at the rail Nguyen increased his stack to 1.1 million.
