Vilmun-end of the line for O'Shea

[user46298]
[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} {4-Clubs} {5-Hearts} . 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} {6-Spades} {J-Hearts} {7-Clubs}
O'Shea: {10-Clubs} {10-Hearts} {K-Clubs} {9-Diamonds}

The river came clubless and Vilmunen racks up another scalp.

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

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} {K-Clubs} {6-Hearts} {5-Hearts}
Haavisto: {A-Diamonds} {A-Clubs} {2-Clubs} {Q-Spades} -- sneakier than a fox in Reeboks

Board: {6-Spades} {A-Hearts} {K-Diamonds} {10-Spades} {7-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.

Sandra Naujoks is back up to 135,000 after picking up a three-way pot. All three players checked the river of the {Q-Spades} {10-Clubs} {2-Clubs} {K-Hearts} {9-Hearts} board, and the showdown looked as follows:

Naujoks: {Q-Clubs} {J-Clubs} {K-Diamonds} {5-Clubs}
Tony Bloom: {Q-Hearts} {A-Clubs} {K-Spades} {6-Clubs}
Howard Lederer: mucks

Back We Go

We're still a good eight places outside of the money -- at this rate, we're guessing that they won't attempt to play it out today.

Deeb Double

[user46298]
[user46298]
Shaun Deeb, after a great start to this tournament yesterday, and a pretty good middle section, found himself at the closing stages of this blind level in pretty dire trouble and with his tournament life on the line, all in against Durrrr on a {9-Diamonds} {2-Hearts} {Q-Clubs} flop with {A-Clubs} {A-Diamonds} {Q-Spades} {J-Hearts} (he'd raised to 8k utg, button Dwan had called) vs. Dwan's flopped set: {8-Diamonds} {9-Hearts} {9-Diamonds} {10-Hearts} .

The {10-Spades} {8-Hearts} which followed got him straight out of jail, as it were, and he's still alive to enjoy his 20 minute break, which is starting now.

Dwan Mess with durrr

[user46392]
[user46392]
We strolled over to Table 3 over in the corner to see a board reading {3-Hearts} {5-Clubs} {9-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} board out, and Tom Dwan had checked. To his left, Andrey Zaichenko bet around 25,000 -- and back around to him, Dwan check-raised pot, easily covering Zaichenko.

Mr. Zaichenko closed his eyes and dwelled for a little while, while Shaun Deeb and Dan Hindin, who had given up on his chair and was now perched on the marble counter-type arrangement behind him, discussed the woeful lack of cushions as per Vegas in the Empire. Zaichenko folded. Hindin and Deeb were discussing swapping seats, which we do not believe is allowed.

Zaichenko: 105,000
Dwan: 325,000, which just sneaks the chip lead from Jani Vilmunen
