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.

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.

Juha And Vicky Break A Record...

[user76023]

They now have the longest match of the tournament. They're still taking it in terms to push, we might need aces vs kings at this rate...

What Does TK Thing?

[user76023]

The poker clearly isn't enough fun for Torelli and Esfandiari, they're playing a game of "What Does Thomas Kremser Think?" where they're betting on how Thomas will answer their questions.

The first one?

How much money would it take for Thomas Kremser to shave his head?

Another Break For The Match That Won't End

[user76023]

Vicky Coren has 10,900 to Juha Helppi's 29,100 at the moment while they have a quick toilet/cigarette break.

Esfandiari Wins Battle Of Chicken

[user76023]

Antonio Esfandiari raised to 750, Alec Torelli reraised to 2,300 but then instantly folded when Esfandiari bumped it up to 7,300 to play.

Double For Coren

[user76023]

"Sigh."

Coren moved all-in from the button and Helppi called.

Coren: {10-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

{9-Diamonds}

Helppi:

{A-Hearts}

{6-Clubs}

Board:

{6-Hearts}

{2-Diamonds}

{7-Diamonds}

{9-Spades}

{3-Hearts}

As the nine hit, Juha Helppi let out a huge sigh rubbing his eyes as he seemed to visibly age for a second. They're now back to even.

Torelli Flushes Esfandiari Away

[user76023]

"Ez Game."

Alec Torelli supped all the rungood juice today.

Firstly on a {7-Hearts}

{7-Hearts}

{9-Hearts}

{2-Hearts}

board, the two got it all-in.

Torelli: {10-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

{8-Hearts}

Esfandiari: {J-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

{4-Hearts}

The turn was a complete blank but Torelli hit the {6-Hearts}

{6-Hearts}

on the river for a straight flush to double through after being the short stack.

Soon after Esfandiari was all-in on a {Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

{5-Spades}

{2-Spades}

flop with

{Q-Hearts}

{8-Diamonds}

and Torelli held {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{8-Spades}

. This time the {4-Spades}

{4-Spades}

came on the turn and immediately Esfandiari announced, "Well played, good game sir."

The river was the incidental {J-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

and Torelli joins James Sudworth and Vladmir Geshkenbein in the semifinals.

Coren/Helppi Continues...

[user76023]

Like a slow plodding tortoise, this match reliably heads on towards the finish line.
