Another 40,000 has wound up in Team PokerStars Pro Johnny Lodden's stack as opponent Juan Jose Pozo Jimenez was eliminated. And he wasn't happy about it (Jimenez, not Lodden). 10k had gone in on a flop and the rest on the turn - at which point the loud bang of the all-in player slapping the table in frustration gathered a flock of media people.
He showed a well and truly cracked to Lodden's and walked off shaking his head as the river bricked .
Surinder Sunar (big blind) and his opponent (small blind) had made it all the way to the river by the time we turned up at their table; a full board lay before them on the felt.
Somehow, a pretty hefty pot had formed, but both players opted to check the river. Mr. Small Blind turned over a nothing-y - and Sunar's for ace-high was good enough to claim the pot.
"Monster," noted another player at the table.
Sunar is at 130,000.
Kenni Gren has just dropped to 30,000 after saying, "Let's gamble!" when he called Niclas Hall's UTG shove from the big blind.
Hall flipped to Gren's and we were off to the races.
The board of meant Hall doubled up, he's up to 70,000.
There was somewhere in the region of 75,000 in the pot when we arrived on the turn of the board, and Jonathan Weekes checked. Over to his opponent, who was inconveniently hiding his ID card, who bet 32,000. Weekes tanked for a very long time, slowly riffling his not-quite-full-stack of yellow T5,000 chips, and then folded.
"Show the bluff," he said halfheartedly to his opponent, who did not oblige.
Weekes is at a shade under 100,000.
Micah Moore had raised preflop and JP Kelly defended in the big blind to see a flop. Kelly check-called an 8,000 bet on the flop and then an additional 19,000 on the turn as the pot began to swell.
The river was another blank, the and Kelly checked a third time allowing Moore to unloaded the full clip, betting 38,500. This time Kelly thought for about a minute before opting to release his hand.
Moore up to around 100,000, Kelly drops to about 170,000.
It's not been a great day for young Irishman Charles "Alan" McIntyre, and just now he's taken another smallish dent to his stack.
It looked as though Nikolas Liakos opened from the button and McIntyre reraised to 11,500 from the small blind. Back around to Liakos, who four-bet to around 30,000, and after a while McIntyre folded and was left with 62,000.
A second three-way all-in pot just busted Bjorn Verbakel, despite an optimistic small blind giving him the chance (until the river) of a small side pot win to stay alive.
Verbakel had moved all-in over the top of an under the gun raise from Thorsten Schafer, for something like 28k. It folded round to small blind Jes Bondo, who made the call (both covered Schafer) and Schafer himself, expressing surprise but resignedly saying, "Side event!" put the rest of his stack in.
Verbakel:
Schafer:
Bondo:
The flop was safe for the shortest stack: . The changed nothing on the turn but the river brought the side pot into Bondo's stack and Verbakel to the rail.
