Chalk and Cheese!

[user50492]

Today's flight has a completely different makeup compared to yesterday. There are some very interesting match ups at the tables. WSOPE winner Annette Obrestad is seated to the direct left of one of the UK's hottest online players, Steve "Allinstevie" Devlin.

There is usually a "Table of death"; today is no different and it has Peter Roche, William Thorson, Andreas Hoivold and Peter Jepsen.

Slowplay, No Pay

[user57637]

Owen Mullen just lost a substantial chunk of his stack early on.

Pre-flop it was made 350 to go. Mullen called from the small blind in a four-way pot.

The flop came {8-Hearts}

.

It was checked to the pre-flop raiser who bet 800 and was called by both Mullen and the big blind.

Turn {A-Clubs}

and Mullen check-calls another 1300.

The river is the {9-Diamonds}

and a rather annoyed Mullen is forced to call another 1125. His opponent shows {A-Spades}

. Mullen showed an 8.

No Power in Two Pair!

[user50492]

Nicky Power, Irish Open 6th-place finisher, has flopped top two twice in the first level. Unfortunately for the Irishman the first time his opponent rivered a flush and the second time a different player rivered a higher two pair. Nicky is down to 5,000 chips after those two hands.
