Close Call

[user22113]

We almost had our bubble boy. It looked like Sverre Sundbo, who was all in with {Q-Hearts}

, and Jim Kerrigan had him covered with {Q-Spades}

.

The flop was {10-Diamonds}

and Sundbo survives.

Ruthenberg in Reverse

[user22113]

The German has lost a third of his stack in the last hour or so, but is among the leaders with approximately 200,000.

We are currently playing hand for hand until the bubble boy is announced.

We're on the Bubble

[user22113]

The crowd around the tables is three deep now, and we, the media, are not permitted near the tables.

Gustaffagone!

[user22113]

Ronnie Gustaffson has just been eliminated. His {7-Spades}

came up against {A-Spades}

, and the board brought {8-Diamonds}

, counterfeiting his pair.

We have reached the pay bubble now. Unfortunately, the media has no access to the floor at this time, so we cannot update the chip counts for many players that have already been eliminated.

Level: 15

Blinds: 3,000/6,000

Ante: 600

Pablo Rua takes a hit

[user22113]

On the last hand before the break he got involved in a pot with German player Michael Mücklisch. He hit a perfect low flop with his {9-Hearts}

only to be put to a decision for 50,000 chips by the German. He calls.

Mücklisch showed {A-Spades}

for a flush draw which he hit on the river and Mr. Rua goes on his break shaking his head and talking to himself. He's down to 50,000

We are on a 1 hour break

Sebastian Ruthernberg still chip leader on 260,000 but spewing chips around by trying to win every pot. He just doubled up a shorty with {9-Spades}

against

Barnes out to Fougeron

[user22113]

David Barnes is out to Thomas Fougeron. Fougerons {K-Spades}

held out to Barnes {A-Hearts}

.

Amazingly Fougeron thought his tournament was over yesterday afternoon as he quickly got his coat and left, only to be shouted back in to be told he had a mere 500 chips left. Since then he has amassed a stack of $60000 and put on a bit of a masterclass in the process.
