End In Sight?

[user76023]

There is in fact no 500/1,000 level we go straight to 600/1,200.

"This has to finish!" said Coren.

Coren In Trouble

[user76023]

Vicky Coren makes it 2,100 with about 8,900 behind but gives it up when Juha Helppi sets her all-in.

Blinds are about to go up to 500/1,000 shortly and she needs to double again.

Torelli Takes One

[user76023]

About 6,000 was in the pot on the river of a {K-Spades}

river. Esfandiari checked but seemed to seriously comtemplating calling a 3,625 bet from Torelli on the river.

Finally he folded but not without some serious thought, Torelli enigmatically flashed the {5-Hearts}

...

No Coren-ation For Helppi Yet

[user76023]

Vicky Coren was all-in and Juha Helppi called.

Coren: {A-Clubs}

Helppi:

First Blood To Esfandiari

[user76023]

With the board reading {A-Hearts}

, Antonio Esfandiari bet 2,500 into a pot of 2,400.

"We start with 20,000 right?" asked Torelli to Thomas Kremser.

Torelli then called.

"Nuts," said Esfandiari showing {6-Clubs}

and Torelli mucked.

Time Dwindling For Coren

[user76023]

The blinds are now 400/800 in the Coren/Helppi match and the former EPT winner is down to just about 8,000. Expect Coren to double up or exit soon...

Torelli/Esfandiari Underway

[user76023]

The two Americans have agreed that whenever someone wins a pot, the other player gets to see one of their hole cards, same as the agreement between Keating and Geshkenbein yesterday.
