Sudworth Eliminates Veldhuis In Super Aggro Game

[user76023]

After two hands where first Veldhuis 3-bet Sudworth off a hand, then Sudworth responded with one of his own, making it 3,200 in total on top of Veldhuis' initial 1,000.

Veldhuis made the call and the flop came {10-Spades}

. Sudworth bet 3,600 and Veldhuis raised to 9,700 before Sudworth reraised all-in and Veldhuis called.

Veldhuis: {6-Spades}

Sudworth:

A virtual flip then saw the {7-Hearts}

come on the turn giving Veldhuis a flush draw but the {2-Clubs}

river meant Sudworth dodged every bullet and left the Dutchman with just about 1,600 left.

All-in with {9-Diamonds}

the next hand against Sudworth's {Q-Clubs}

, Veldhuis couldn't hit on the {K-Spades}

board and the young Englishman goes through to the semi-finals.

Certainly, the speed of this game goes to show difference in style of the online players versus the older school live players.

.

She's back in this game.

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.

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...

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.

No Coren-ation For Helppi Yet

[user76023]

Vicky Coren was all-in and Juha Helppi called.

Coren: {A-Clubs}

Helppi:

The board came {8-Clubs}

and Coren doubles back up into contention with about 13,000.

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}

...
