Happy von Halle

Jan von Halle made a call after an oppenent moved all in after the flop had been dealt.

The flop was {Q-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} {2-Spades}.

Von Halle had top set with {Q-Clubs} {Q-Spades} and his opponent would need running kings with {K-Clubs} {Q-Hearts}.

It didn't come and von Halle is up to 90,000.

Great Call Zamani

Albert Iversen raised from the big blind after Ben Zamani completed from the small blind.

The flop came {K-Spades} {7-Diamonds} {A-Hearts} before Zamani led out for 10,000 and Iversen called.

The turn came 7c. Zamani checked to see Iverson bet 17,000 before he bumped it up to 35,000. Iversen then moved all in and Zamani made the call creating a monster pot.

Iversen had been caught making a decent move with {J-Spades} {8-Diamonds} but Zamani made a brave and decent call with {A-Spades} {9-Clubs}.

The river came {5-Diamonds} and a shell shocked Iversen is busted and Zamani is our new chip leader with around 300,000.

Never Say Die

It's folded around to Greg Mueller, who moves in from the cutoff and finds a caller in the small blind.

He's dominated once more with his {K-Spades} {7-Diamonds}, as the small blind has {K-Diamonds} {10-Clubs}.

The board comes {6-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} {4-Spades} {5-Hearts} {5-Spades}.

Mueller turns a straight to hang in there on 22,000.

New Chip Leader

Richard Alm has become the overall chip leader after raking in a monster pot. Alm and his opponent got all their chips in the pot preflop and when the hands were shown Alm's {10-Spades} {10-Hearts} were behind his opponent's {K-Diamonds} {K-Hearts}.

Alm jumped from big underdog to favorite when the flop came {J-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} {2-Spades} and Alm had a set. The turn brought the {A-Hearts} and the river the {8-Diamonds} and Alm stacked the monster pot, bringing his total to 320,000.

Ace Magnet

If you've ever had pocket kings you know that they tend to attract aces to the board. Mark Seif would have to agree as he has been eliminated when his pocket kings were beaten by Brian Olsson's ace king. On the same hand an unnamed player was also eliminated with pocket queens.

Olsson has 145,000.
