Dwan Not the Man, So Far
We caught up with the action on the turn, the board reading
. Dwan had checked, and Rees had bet 10,000. Call.They saw a
river and Dwan checked again. This time Rees bet 14,000, prompting a medium-length dwell complete with trademark durrrr eyebrow-raising and confused blinking shenanigans. Eventually he called, but mucked when Rees turned over 
for trips.
Table Valmunen Quietens
They proceeded to check it down, and Vilmunen won the small pot, fiddled with his tub of Snus (a Scandinavian tobacco product you get in small circular tins and then place in your mouth like a teabag) and went back to silently regarding the table. Since we're photographerless today, I think a brief description is in order: The hair of Alexander Kravchenko, the coat-of-arms-with-lions-and-sword-with-wings pinstripe jacket of Robbie Williams, the calmly destructive poker demeanour of any successful Finnish poker player.
It's Early Yet
- Joe Beevers -- cappuccino
- Jeff Kimber -- cup of tea
- Chris Bjorin -- weak tea
The Rees' Knees
flop, and Tom Dwan promptly bet out from the small blind to the tune of 6,700. Lloyd Rees was the only caller.They saw a seemingly innocuous
turn and this time Dwan checked. Rees stuck in a means-business 21,400 bet, and Dwan swiftly passed.
Dal-bye
I saw this 160k pot right at the end, with a big stack heading Dwan's way and a board of
lying out there. I wish I knew when the money went in on this one, as Dwan's winning hand was 
and that river may have been an interesting one at the time. However by the time I started scribbling down the hand they'd mentally moved on, and Dalby got the grain of rice he had left in the very next hand.This time Sorel Mizzi raised to isolate him and his
fell to Mizzi's 
when a sole King came on the flop.
Boatman Not Drowning Yet
He found himself in the big blind position with 17,000 in the pot, 23,000 or so left in his stack, and facing a
board and a 12,000 bet from Ashton Griffin on the button. Boatman tanked for some time, before resignedly tossing in the call. It was a good call -- Griffin only turned over his two best cards which turned out to be an 
and a 
, and Boatman took the pot with a pair in his hand to put him up to 40,000.
Dwan But Not Out
, and when Dwan bet pot (pretty much all of his remaining stacks) Mizzi gave him a smile and passed. He did get shown the mighty 
for his restraint, however.
Triple Up for Sandra Naujoks
to both pop up in her hand, and 
to be dealt to Adam Bilzerian, AND for Noah Boeken to wake up with some hand worth calling both shorter stacks with...A
board sealed the deal with a flush for Naujoks, whose stack is now a much more comfortable 120k. Bilzerian laments his own, reverse, fortune, "Sick...she's a short stack too. I probably fold that to you alone," he said, looking towards Noah Boeken with frustration, as he'd apparently kicked the whole big pot off...Too late, both of them are down to dangerously short stacks.
