Krausing Along

[user46392]
[user46392]
Andreas Krause bet out from the big blind on a {4-Spades} {Q-Clubs} {5-Diamonds} flop and recieved three callers.

He bet out again on the {6-Hearts} turn, but this time he only got three calls.

Come the {8-Clubs} turn he just checked it and the gent to his immediate left bet instead. Krause and one other gentleman called, but the third gent just mucked as Krause and his opponent chopped the hefty pot.

Krause: {3-Spades} {5-Spades} {5-Hearts} {7-Clubs} for the high
Mr Opponent: {A-Hearts} {2-Spades} {10-Spades} {Q-Hearts} for the low

Krause is up to 12,800.

Assorted Chip Counts

[user46392]
[user46392]
Linda Johnson: 6,300
Jan Fisher: 8,500
Eli Elezra: 3,500
Mike Matusow: 8,700
Daniel Negreanu: 6,200 and drinking, as evidenced by his cry of, "I'm drinking!" when your blogger approached the table, and then giving her a hug
Brett Richey: 9,300
Michael Binger: 4,600
Paul Parker: 5,900
Chris Bjorin: 4,000
Alan Kessler: 6,600, although it's mostly in grey 100 chips, so it looks as though someone's been stealing the blinds...
Chris Ferguson: 5,300
Bryan Devonshire: 6,000
Annie Duke: 7,500
Maridu Mayrinck: 6,000 -- "I was up 10,000 but then I got aces outdrawn by ace-three." On the plus side, the gentleman sitting next to her has asked her to marry him at a drive-thru wedding chapel during the dinner break. We'll be sure to film if that goes ahead.

How Many Runners Are There?

The payout hasn't been published yet, but it looks as though our number of runners has settled at 425, and 45 places are going to be paying out. Hopefully we'll have payouts at the next break.
