Down to 32

[user46392]

The clock has been paused while they break a table down on the floor. Just one more table to lose before bedtime.

Tut Tut - Nathan Busts

[user46392]

It folded around to Martin Hruby in the small blind who raised enough to put big blind Nathan Tuthill in. Tuthill called. On their backs.

Hruby:

Board:

Matthew Szymaszek - wonder how many points that name would get in Scrabble - opened for 41,000 and Vicky Coren pushed for exactly 222,000 from the small blind. It didn't take Szymaszek long to fold, and Coren bumped her stack up a little, though she remains one of our shorties.

Guerfi Perks Up

[user46392]

Josef Klinger opened for 50,000 only for Lauri Meidla to re-pop for 151,000 from the button, leaving himself 230,000 behind. However, [Removed:146] shoved for 321,000 from the big blind, and following a swift fold from Klinger, Meidla folded {A-?}

up in disgust.

Guerfi wasted no time in getting his chips in again - the very next hand he shoved from the small blind to a raise from Claudiu Saizu. Saizu insta-called, but both players turned over pocket queens and after a rainbow flop they chopped the pot up.

Lex-it As Veldhuis Is Clubbed To Death

[user76023]

Lex Veldhuis reraised all-in preflop over the top a middle position raise for around 260,000 but he got a pretty swift call from Laurent Olive, the said raiser.

Olive: {A-Clubs}

Veldhuis:

Board:

The disappointed Dutchman goes out just shy of making the final three tables.

Sesso Sick

[user46392]

We found chip leader Kevin Eyster betting out 85,000 on the river of a {5-Hearts}

board only for David Sesso to raise to 220,000. The action moved back on Eyster, who quietly thought about it before re-popping to 410,000.

Sesso riffled chips for a while, probably staring Eyster down from behind his sunglasses, and eventually folded. Eyster, who seems to be having a lot of fun with his enorm-stack, triumphantly showed him {A-Spades}

. Sesso giggled, and confessed that Eyster had been ahead.

Eyster is now up around the 2.6 million mark.
