Slotboom Doubles Up

[user46392]

Dutch wraparound shades enthusiast Rolf Slotboom is on a commanding 7,500, after finding himself all in on a queen-high flop holding pocket aces. The other guy was holding A-Q, and is no more.

The lovely Ms Vanessa Rousso has been spotted tipping the waitresses -- in small change. Are there perhaps some cash flow problems for the young poker starlet? Or are pockets full of small coinage in style?

Black in Trouble

[user46392]

Andy Black is down to more or less the felt after flopping a set of eights.

The flop read {J-Hearts}

and Robert Cheung bet 800. Black made it 2,500 and Cheung went all in for not much more.

Black: {8-Clubs}

Cheung:

Turn:

River:

Most of Black's chips shifted into the possession of Cheung, and Black looked pretty disgusted by the whole affair.

Quality Over Quantity

[user4144]

This may not be the biggest field to grace the Amazon Room thus far, but it's still highly concentrated in pros, the likes of Humberto Brenes, Jeff Lisandro, Thomas Wahlroos, John Hennigan and Vanessa Rousso all making their presence felt.

I also spotted a few fellow countrymen (and women) upon my travels, Paul Jackson, Chris Moorman, Paul Foltyn, Nick Gibson, Live Boeree and recent Irish Open champion Neil Channing among those looking to take bracelet gold.

Another Interesting Table

[user46392]

Another interesting table share is that of Justin Bonomo and David Pham, one seat separating them, with Bonomo in position.

Table of Doom

[user46392]

Seats one to five on Table 47 must not be the most comfortable place to be right now -- the last four seats at the table are currently occupied by, in seat order, Jordan Morgan, Tony Phillips, Rolf Slotboom and Bill Chen.

Griffin Spikes a Ten

[user46392]

Rather luckier than Bilney has been Gavin Griffin. All in on a 7-6-7 flop with 7-10 against an opponent's 7-K, he actually had his coat on when he spiked a ten on the turn. The river was not a king, and he more or less doubles up.
