The Bounahra Double-Up
Level 6
: 100/200, 25 ante
It's something like the Kansas City Shuffle, but than with poker. Bounahra just gave a big high five to Antonio Esfandiari after doubling up from the big blind. We missed the action and were only alerted by Bounahra's shout. We speeded over and could just write down that he had 
and three hearts on the table. Bounahra's daughter is also playing a few tables over, but didn't get involved with the celebrations.

How Are the Euros Doing?
Level 6
: 100/200, 25 ante
Well, the Dutch aren't doing to good; both Vincent van der Fluit and Pim de Goede are nowhere to be found. Danish pro Mickey Petersen is well below average while the man with the Irish passport is doing ok for himself.

Benger Busts One
Level 6
: 100/200, 25 ante
Griffin Benger looked away from his phone for a mili second and found pocket queens in the big blind. There was more than enough action before him with a raise to 425 from the under plus two and a three-bet from the hijack to 1,125. Benger shoved for 7,625 and the first raiser folded. The hijack thought for a second and made the call.
Benger tabled 
and was in a race situation against the hijack's 
. What started out as a fair race was not so much anymore after the flop: 
. The 
on the turn sealed the deal for Benger and the 
was just there for good measures.

Not This Time for Ivey
Level 6
: 100/200, 25 ante
Phil Ivey registered late for today's tournament only to bust in the early rounds, just before level 6.
We happened to be there when he went all-in, lobbing 2300 of his remaining stack into the pot. His opponent, Norm Wheatcroft, called the bet.
Ivey: 
Wheatcroft:
The board came 
, totally missing Ivey's live ace and holding up for Wheatcroft's queens. Wheatcroft remains amongst the chip leaders at around 16,000.
