Spare Some Change?

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?

Slotboom Doubles Up

Robo-Rolf
Robo-Rolf
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.

Nam Le Crippled

Nam Le is down to just 500 in chips after his pocket rockets were busted by Jonas "Nebuchad" Danielsson's {9-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} on a {9-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{9-Spades}{J-Hearts}{2-Clubs} board. All the chips went in on the turn, but little did Le know that he was beaten in two spots, an unknown player all in on the flop with {10-Clubs}{9-Clubs} and taking the main pot. Danielsson snapped up the side pot, however, and is currently on 3,600.

Evdakov Outdraw

Nikolay Evdakov is up to 10,500 after eliminating a player in the ugliest of manners. Holding A-K against his all-in opponent's pocket aces on a king-high flop, things weren't looking good for Evdakov -- until he spiked another king on the river to send his outdrawn opponent to the rail.

Mark Seif Cracked

On a {J-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{J-Spades}{8-Hearts} board, Mark Seif pushed all in on the river with {K-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for a missed flush and open ended straight draw, but was swiftly called by {Q-Spades}{J-Hearts} which was more than enough to send him home.

Slotboom Moving Up

Further good fortune for Rolf Slotboom, after calling a short-stack's all in and also a decent stack's all in preflop.

Short stack: {A-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds}
Decent stack: {Q-Spades} {Q-Diamonds}
Slotboom: {10-Diamonds} {10-Spades}

Board: {K-Spades} {10-Hearts} {5-Spades} {8-Hearts} {7-Clubs}

Both other gentlemen hit the rail, and Slotboom is up to 10,000.
