Action For Wahlroos

Thomas Wahlroos
Thomas Wahlroos
Thomas Wahlroos has been in the thick of during it the last few hands. First, he got all in pre-flop with jacks against A-K. The door card was a king but it revealed a jack to double up Thomas to 15,000.

A couple of hands later, he was in the big blind and called a raise of 900 from the small blind.

The flop came down {3-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} and Thomas called a 1,300 bet. The turn and river were the {2-Clubs}{7-Hearts} and both were checked. Thomas let out a, "Wow" when his opponent turned over {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}, which was way ahead of his {8-Clubs}{8-Spades}.

Sorel Mizzi Eliminated

Sorel Mizzi
Sorel Mizzi
Canadian pro and Team Betfair's latest edition, Sorel Mizzi, has just been eliminated from the tournament after back-to-back hands left him crippled and then out.

In the first hand, Sorel opened with a 950 raise from mid-position. Action then folded around to Melek Ertas in the big blind, who then made it 4,000 to go. Mizzi tanked for a bit before subtly sliding a stack of blue and red chips across the betting line, softly announcing, "All in." Ertas made the call and was all in for approximately 11,100. At the showdown, Melek tabled a pocket pair of kings; Sorel showed {A-Spades}{Q-Hearts}. The board ran out {7-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{J-Hearts} and Ertas' kings held up, leaving Sorel with less than 2,000 in chips.

On the very next hand, Sorel opened with another pre-flop raise, this time making it 900 to go, leaving himself a single stack of green chips (approx. 600 worth) behind. An unknown player to his immediate left then made it an even 2,000 and action folded around the table to Sorel, who made the call holding {A-Clubs}{3-Hearts}; his opponent produced pocket fives. A king-high board sealed the Canadian's fate and he calmly exited the tournament area.

Double Knockout!

Eric Vanderburg
Eric Vanderburg
After an early-position player limps, Eric Vanderburg moves all in for 1,700. There is one caller, then Soren Jensen, runner-up in Copenhagen, calls for his last 925 in chips. The original limper also calls and a flop is dealt {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}{2-Hearts}.

The first caller bets out 1,000 after the early limper checks; it is enough and the cards are now on their backs:

Eric Vanderburg: {K-Clubs}{9-Clubs}
Soren Jensen: {Q-Hearts}{10-Clubs}
Unknown: {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}

The turn and river are dealt {Q-Spades}{9-Spades} and we lose two players in one hand.

Andy Black -- Self Update

Andy Black
Andy Black
"You missed it -- I was down to 13,000 the last hand before the break. Then first hand after the break I got back up to 17,000 and just now I got a guy all in with house versus his straight draw on fourth street. He had a runner-runner straght flush draw but that was quite hard to hit with one card to come..."

Andy is now on 26,000 after that hand.
