Like Sands Through One's Fingers

[user46392]

Poor David Sands -- after spending much of yesterday atop the chip leader mountain, he's now fallen down a bit of a crevasse and rests nervously on an 8,000 chip perch.

English Only Please

MarcC

Jeff Wagner's just called the floor over to complain about the use of other languages, namely Dutch, being spoken around the table.

If he hadn't just lost a pot to an opponent holding {A-Spades}

on a

he might not have felt the need to complain. The 8,000 stack he's on won't help the mood either.

Kravchenko Climbing

[user46392]

Alex Kravchenko raised under the gun and found a caller in the big blind, which was just marvellous for Kravchenko as he was holding {A-Hearts}

.

Mr. Big Blind check-called Kravchenko's bets all the way down the {7-Spades}

board and then mucked; Kravchenko is up to 94,500.

Back-to-Back for Brat

MarcC

Phil Hellmuth is up to 22,000 after winning two hands in a row. The first hand had a {3-Diamonds}

board and the turn had been checked through before Hellmuth bet on the end. He was called and his {7-Clubs}

was good.

The next hand just got as far as the {A-Clubs}

flop where a Hellmuth bet took it down.

Got to Lichtie This Stack

MarcC

Matt Lichtie just took on a short stack with {2-Clubs}

. It was all in preflop and his opponent held {K-Spades}

. The board was an unkind {3-Clubs}

for the all in player and he's out.

Lichtie up to 80,000 now.
