Igor Rejdovjan Doubles Through
After Hansen has stepped away, the action ground to a halt with Chen who really didn't seem too keen on his hand. After shaking his head, he shrugged his shoulders and made the call, only to be shown what he probably feared the most, . Chen had .
On the turn, Rejdovjan erupted. "Yeeeeeeeeees!!!" he exclaimed, much to the shock of the table. The river was academic, and Rejdovjan scooped the pot.
Redraw for two tables
Jens Glud Hansen Eliminated in 17th Place (€13,800)
After the dealer had counted out a total of 93,000, Rejdovjan paused momentarily before announcing call and sliding the necessary chips across the line. As Hansen dropped his onto the felt, he held his breath in the hope of over cards. To his delight, his opponent obliged by tabling .
But this was only the half the battle, and as an ace came down it was looking bleak. "Yeeeeeeeeeeesssssss!!! exclaimed Redjdovjan, punching the air and leaning across the felt towards his opponent. It was at this point that he noticed that he wasn't as far ahead as he first thought as the flop had come to give Hansen a pair too.
The changed nothing, but upon seeing the river hit the felt, Redjdovjan once again celebrated raucously, before turning to his opponent, stabbing the air with his finger and shouting, "Thank you, sir!".
As an uncontrollably elated Redjdovjan continued to celebrate, a dejected Hansen simply retrieved his crutches from the table and hobbled away as our 17th place finisher.
"Slooooowrolled," observed Chen as he departed.
Dan Pedersen Eliminated in 16th Place (€16,600)
The way the exits are going, it could well be an all Spanish/Italian final table!
Nas Raps It Up
Nasr =
Nygard =
Flop =
That was a good flop for Nasr.
Turn =
That turn wasn't bad either.
River =
The river wasn't good for anyone, but did rub salt into wounds just in case the flop and turn weren't painful enough.
Chen vs Konstantinos
A couple of hands later after Chen has bet 30,000 on the turn (He raised preflop from UTG+1 with Konstantinos calling in the big blind and both checked the flop) of a board. Kostantinos called and they both checked the river, the Greek showing to win.
Next hand and Konstantinos raises to 32,000 on the cut-off and Dan Drescher moves all in from the button pushing Kostantinos off the pot.
