Serock vs Eidsvig

[user50492]

Joseph Serock and Trond Eidsvig almost had that 250,000 pot again. The player on the button opened for 7,000 and Joseph re-popped it to 23,000 from the small blind. Trond then made it 70,000 from his 110,000 stack.

The button promptly folded and Joseph glanced at Trond sitting next to him before doing the same.

Playing the Rush or Playing for the Cameras?

[user25067]

Luca Pagano opened the pot from UTG, Tim Vance reraised to 20,000 from middle position, and Pagano moved all in. Vance paced around and tanked for nearly five minutes as a crowd gathered around the table. Vance finally folded {A-Hearts}

face-up.

"Good bet," said Vance as Pagano dragged the pot. Pagano's stack is now up to nearly 90,000.

Rasmus Nielsen - Bluffmaster?

[user50492]

Rasmus Nielsen opened for 7,000 in mid position. Kenneth Ruan Hemmingsen made a reraise to 18,000 total. Everyone else got out of the way and then Rasmus moved all in for another 48,100 on top.

Kenneth took over three minutes to make his decision which looked to be a genuinely tough one. Eventually he folded and Rasmus showed the {9-Spades}

which provoked a look of disgust from Kenneth.

Tommy Pavlicek Doubles Up

[user25067]

Tommy Pavlicek open-shoved for 30,800.

"That's the first thing he does at the table! Is that allowed?" quipped the always-talkative Rolf Slotboom.

"It's good for the table image," replied Tournament Director Thomas Kresmer with a laugh as he watched the action.

Undeterred, Tomasz Krzesiñski called from the big blind.

Pavlicek turned up {A-Clubs}

while Krzesiñski showed {9-Clubs}

. The board ran out {K-Hearts}

and Pavlicek doubled up to 67,600 while Krzesiñski was crippled, with only 6,400 left.

Nebuchad Busted

[user50492]

Jonas "Nebuchad" Danielsson, who won the Online Player of the Year award at the Scandinvian poker awards which preceded this tournament, has been eliminated.

Jonas pushed for 28,000 from the small blind and Timothy Vance made a quick call with {A-Hearts}

.

Nebuchad was at it with {8-Clubs}

, but he went ahead as the flop came down {10-Hearts}

. He was still ahead on the {3-Hearts}

turn but that gave Vance more outs and he duly hit when the {J-Hearts}

fell on the river to give him the nut flush.

Over 75 members of the press are hammering away on their keyboards doing various kinds of updates. Of course you should stay tuned to pokernews.com for the best coverage of all the players!
