Thorson Fires Flop

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

William Thorson raised from under the gun to 425. Kristian Lunardi called from middle position and then the cutoff seat reraised to 1,525. Thorson called and Lunardi called.

The flop came down {A-Spades}{A-Hearts}{4-Spades} and Thorson was up first. He didn't waste any time getting cute with things and bet straight out into his opponents for 2,100. Lunardi and the cutoff both folded and Thorson won the pot. He's up to 32,000 in chips now.

Another Penalty for Yu

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

Winfred Yu received a penalty within the first few minutes of play today for using his phone.

Obviously he felt like having an extended break, and was awarded another one for phone use to see him head to break a little early.

Ospina Out

Level 3 : 100/200, 25 ante

Daniel "DazzleO" Ospina has just been eliminated at the hands of Daniel Alaei. Ospina won MiniFTOPS Event #1 back in September 2010 on Full Tilt Poker. When we got to the table, a board of {6-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{4-Spades}{A-Spades}{K-Clubs} laid in the middle of the felt and Alaei's {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs} was tabled next to it. Ospina's hand had been mucked with him exiting to the rail.
