Daniel Larsson Triples Up

A crowd suddenly gathered around Christina Orth's table. Pre-flop action was yet to be completed. Christina already had 4,000 chips in the pot and had to call the same again as two players had moved all in both for around 8,000 chips. When she made the call she flipped up {A-Clubs}{K-Spades} which was in bad shape against the {A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds} of Daniel Larsson and the other player's {Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs}. There was hope of a split as the board fell {8-Clubs}{10-Spades}{7-Spades}{9-Clubs} by the turn, but a meaningless {3-Hearts} on the river meant Daniel tripled up and the other player was eliminated.

Mel Judah Doubles Through Gus Hansen

On a flop of {J-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{3-Diamonds}, Mel Judah led out for 1,300, Gus Hansen raised to 3,500, Judah moved all in for just a bit more than Hansen's raise and Hansen made the call.

Judah: {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts}
Hansen: {K-Clubs}{J-Spades}

The turn was the {5-Hearts}, the river was the {2-Clubs} and Judah doubled up, increasing his stack to 16,500. Hansen was left with 11,500.

Marek Kolk Crippled

Marek Kolk was faced with an all-in bet from Jesper Petersen, which was for all but 3,500 of Marek's chips. The board read {2-Clubs}{6-Spades}{10-Spades}{7-Clubs} at this point. Marek made the call to see {9-Clubs}{6-Clubs} up against his {A-Spades}{A-Hearts}. The {6-Diamonds} fell on the river to give Petersen trips and the 35,000-chip pot.

Ola Brandborn Takes a Hit

Flushed!
Flushed!
With the board reading a very scary {9-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{6-Clubs}, Danny Silk bet 825 and Ola Brandborn made the call. The river was the {7-Diamonds}. Silk fired out another 1,125 and after a stint in the tank, Brandborn reluctantly called. Silk turned up {K-Clubs}{Q-Spades} for a king-high flush and Brandborn mucked.
