Marek Kolk out

[user22113]

Marek Kolk, winner of the 888 UK Poker Open, has just been eliminated. We caught up with him and asked what happened:

"I have Ace Duece in one hand, I flop full house, it comes 3, 3 and I lose to Ace Three. I have nut straight in big pot, it comes flush on River and I have to fold to a bet. I'm short stack, make second nut low, with pocket Queens and guy has nut low and two pair. That is Poker, I am out"

He was last seen heading towards the big Omaha game.

New chip leader

[user22113]

We found out who took out Marek. None other than Crazy Constantine Harach from Wellington, New Zealand. A hair dresser by trade, Constantine is no slouch at the tables.

Super Dooper

[user22113]

They have just started running "Super Dooper Super Sonic Satellites" on the feature table. The brainchild of Tournament Director Danny McDonagh, players start with $300 in chips, with the blinds at $100/200! These Satellites are manic, lasting only 5-10 minutes, with the winner receiving entry into the $1100 Supershot Satellites. The high card for the button has never been more important!
