Big Pot Early

[user50492]

Soren Jensen raises to 11,000 UTG. Alex Kravchenko then moves all in. Sigbjorn Mortueit then moves all in from the small blind. Soren Jensen instantly calls and we have a three way all in with Alex Kravchenko covering both players by a little.

Alex {Q-Hearts}

Sigbjorn

Soren

The flop is {10-Diamonds}

giving Alex a gutshot draw, the turn is the {J-Clubs}

but the river is the {A-Clubs}

to triple up to 150,000. Alex and Soren are now both on life support with 10,000 and 18,000 respectively.

Trond Erik Eidsvig Eliminated

[user25067]

On a flop of {10-Spades}

, Joris Jaspers checked, Trond Eidsvig bet 46,000, and Jaspers raised to 139,000, enough to set Eidsvig all in. After much deliberation, Eidsvig called.

Eidsvig {A-Diamonds}

Jaspers

Eidsvig was ahead with tens and nines, but Jaspers had an open-ended straight draw. He filled the straight on the turn when the {8-Hearts}

fell. No miracle for Eidsvig on the {2-Clubs}

river and he hit the rail. He'll earn $12,574 for his efforts.

After the hand, Jaspers' stack was well over the 450,000 mark.

Recent Eliminations

[user50492]

Alex Kravchenko and Peter Petersen have both been eliminated. It is becoming very difficult to get accurate hands as the tournament is now taking place in a smaller room than before and our access is very limited.

02-22-2008 15:51 UTC+2

Soren Jensen on the Up.

[user50492]

After losing that big pot early on, Soren Jensen has doubled up twice and now has 80,000 chips.

02-22-2008 15:53 UTC+2

Gino Alacqua Min-Raises

[user50492]

Gino Alacqua just won a pot pre-flop on the feature table with a minimum re-raise pre-flop. The Italian just announced "Double," and the suspiciously small raise prompted all his opponents to fold.

02-22-2008 16:24 UTC+2

Peter Eastgate Eliminated

[user25067]

Peter Eastgate opened the pot for a 15,000 raise from early position. Rasmus Nielsen asked him how much he had behind.

"About 110," said Eastgate.

Nielsen put in a re-raise to 50,000 and with the action folded back around to Eastgate, he moved all in. Nielsen called.

Eastgate {A-Diamonds}
