Dag Martin Mikkelsen Eliminated

Dag Martin Mikkelsen=Busto
Dag Martin Mikkelsen=Busto
On an {A-Spades}{K-Spades}{K-Diamonds} flop, the action was checked to Dag Martin Mikkelsen, who bet 1,200. His opponent raised to 2,500 and Mikkelsen called. When the {J-Diamonds} fell on the turn, Mikkelsen bet 4,500, his opponent raised to 10,000, Mikkelsen moved all in and was insta-called. Mikkelsen had turned a full house with {K-Clubs}{J-Clubs}, but his opponent flopped it with A-K. The river was a meaningless 4 and Mikkelsen headed to the rail. He'll probably be back to multi-tabling $1,000 SNGs in no time.

Annette Obrestad Eliminated

Annette pops it up to 525 from the cut off and Runar Runarsson makes it 1,500 total from the big blind.
They see a flop of {K-Clubs} {4-Spades}{2-Clubs} and Runar counts out a bet of 1,750 which is swiftly called by Annette. The turn is the {4-Diamonds} and Runar bets 2,750. It takes longer for Annette to call this time but call she does.
The river is the {6-Spades} and after getting a proper look at Annette's stack (roughly 10,000) Runar moves all in. Annette goes into the tank, staring intently at the gap between the board and her opponent, casually playing with the small denomination chips she has left. Eventually she stacks up all her chips and moves them into the middle. Runar flips over his A-K and Annette mucks and is eliminated from the tournament.

Meet Christina Orth

Christina Orth
Christina Orth
Christina Orth drew one of the toughest tables today, sitting amongst Johnny Lodden, Sander Lyloff, Anders Henriksson, and Juha Helppi, but she has wasted no time in aggressively playing back at her professional opponents. In consecutive hands, she re-raised bets on the turn by Lyloff and Lodden, forcing them to fold and winning herself some nice-sized pots. The tan, raven-haired Orth is also quite the fashionista, sporting a Louis Vuitton belt and a Gucci purse, along with dramatic red streaks in her hair.

She's currently sitting on about 18,000 in chips.

The Hendon Mobster vs. The Great Dane

Barny Boatman and Gus Hansen
Barny Boatman and Gus Hansen
Stig Top Rasmussen limped in from early position, Barny Boatman completed the small blind and Gus Hansen checked his option from the big blind. The flop was {9-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}. Boatman bet 300, Hansen called and Rasmussen folded. The turn was the {K-Spades} and both players checked. The river was the {8-Hearts}. Boatman bet another 300.

"That wasn't very much" said Hansen as he raised to 1,275.

"Well, that was sneaky!" said Boatman as he pondered a call.

"It's not sneaky-- I'm a straight shooter you know" replied Hansen.

Boatman made what looked like a reluctant call and saw the bad news when Hansen turned up {6-Hearts}{8-Spades} for trip eights. The Great Dane dragged the pot and increased his stack to 12,500. Boatman was still left with a very healthy 15,000 in chips.
