Boeken Now Free to Enjoy Central London and its Many Diverse Amusements

[user46392]

Tom Dwan raised and Ville Haavisto flat-called. To his left, Noah Boeken reraised pot. Dwan folded, but Haavisto moved all in. Call.

Boeken: {K-Hearts}

Haavisto:

-- sneakier than a fox in Reeboks

Board: {6-Spades}

Boeken chuckled and shook his head as the flop came down, then stood and took his leave while everyone else at the table congratulated Haavisto on a hand well played.

Vilmun-end of the line for O'Shea

[user46298]

John O'Shea has just been eliminated by chip leader Jani Vilmunen. In the previous hand, he'd lost 25,500 to Ashton Griffin, calling a raise on the button but folding to a turn bet. The next hand he called Vilmunen's 8k preflop in the cutoff (such is the progression of the dealer button round the table) and they saw a flop of {6-Clubs}

. Vilmunen bet 14k after a long think and intense stare at his opponent, and O'Shea called.

The turn was the {6-Hearts}

- now Vilmunen checked, and O'Shea bet 30k (more than half his stack). When Vilmuned instantly set him in, he called, somewhat slowly.

Vilmunen: {8-Hearts}

O'Shea:

The river came clubless and Vilmunen racks up another scalp.

Deeb-ilitated

[user46392]

Tom Dwan raised under the gun and there was one call before Shaun Deeb also called from the button; the three of them saw a {Q-Hearts}

flop.

Dwan bet pot and the first caller folded. Deeb, however, reraised all in for pocket change more than the bet, Dwan called, obviously, and they were on their backs.

Deeb: {7-Diamonds}

for the wrap
Dwan: {9-Hearts}

for a flush draw

Turn: {J-Hearts}

River: irrelevant, as Dwan had turned the flush.

Bubble's Been and Gone

[user46392]

An announcement from TD Jack Effel let us know that another player snuck away while no-one was looking, and we are already in the money. Details of who the unlucky bubbler was coming right up...

Callaghan't

[user46298]

Dave Callaghan has just been eliminated by, you guessed it, chip monster Jani Vilmunen.

Vilmunen raised to 8k utg, Jeff Kimber flatted in middle position and then Callaghan upped it on the button to 36k. Over to Vilmunen, who plonked in enough blue 5ks to pretty much cover Kimber as well as the short-stacked Callaghan, and while the first folded, the second necessarily got it in.

Vilmunen: {A-Spades}

Callaghan: {A-Clubs}

Callaghan was already standing up as the board came out all low and raggy-like: {7-Clubs}

to send him home pretty much on the bubble - ouch.

Triple Bubble

[user46392]

Wow, after a kind of lull the bubble was a super-mega-high-speed affair -- Joe Beevers, Sherkhan Farnood and Theo Jorgensen are all absent from our final two tables, meaning that none of them saw any kind of payday in this event.
