Dutch Delight

[user4144]

Joris Jaspers has now ambushed the top of the leader board after sending Sorin Posa to the rail. I'm not sure if it went in preflop or post-flop, but either way it looks nasty, Posa's {A-Spades}

in all sorts of bother againt Jaspers' {A-Hearts}

with a

board.

"Perfect time," said another player. "You're a very lucky man."

Lucky or not, Jaspers is now on a whopping 230,000 and tangling with Manuel Bevand for the chip lead.

Johnny Lodden raised to 6,200 from the button, but met resistance in the shape of Sorin Posa, who pushed all in from the big blind. It was only four or five thousand more, so Lodden made the call and asked, "King good enough?" His opponent flipped an ace, followed by a queen for {A-Diamonds}

. Lodden had {K-Diamonds}

.

An uneventful {3-Hearts}

board later and Posa had doubled through, leaving Lodden with a depleted stack of 38,000.

Big Call From Jaspers

[user76023]

There was a mid-position raise of 5,800 called by Joris Jaspers in the small blind, before Benjamin Mirsaidi reraised all-in behind for around another 46,000 or so. The original raiser folded and Jaspers dwelt for ages before making the call with a significant portion of his stack. A couple of cheers were heard on the rail when he turned over {K-Diamonds}

, which dominated against the {Q-Hearts}

of the young German. A board of {A-Diamonds}

was dealt out amid more cheers from the rail as Jaspers eliminated Mirsaidi.

Spotted on the Rail

[user4144]

Marc Naalden, Martin Vallo and Ian Nelson have all been spotted on the rail, so I think it's safe to assume that they slipped through the net earlier on.
