All Hearts But No Chips For Chen

[user76023]

Andrew Chen moved all-in for his last 42,000 on Annette Obrestad's big blind. She thought for a minute before calling and Chen showed {10-Hearts}

to Obrestad's {Q-Hearts}

.

"Wow, slowrolled." said Chen jokingly.

The board came {9-Clubs}

and Annette's runner-runner two pair won out.

"Well, that was fun," remarked Chen in a not-having-much-fun-at-all way. On the plus side, he's just made the pay jump and receives £10,600 instead of £9,900.

Rajkumar Clubs Bachar To Death

[user76023]

Ziv Bachar has been knocked out by Vivek Rajkumar, after the former made a move with {J-Clubs}

on a

board, but Rajkumar was able to make a fairly comfortable call with {A-Clubs}

.

Drawing dead, Bachar was packing up his things and leaving even before the {6-Diamonds}

turn and

river.

Zink Sinks

[user46392]

Sebastian Zink got himself involved from under the gun with Theo Tran in the big blind, and we caught up with the action on the turn of the {4-Clubs}

board.

Tran checked and Zink bet 54,000. After a moment, Tran called. They saw an {8-Clubs}

river and Tran checked again. This time Zink bet 106,000 and Tran spent a moment being generally flustered before calling. Zink mucked straight away.

"Do I have to show?" asked Tran. No, was the answer. "Ah, I'll show anyway," said Tran, and turned over {A-Clubs}

.

Zink is down to 125,000, while Tran is up above the 600,000 mark.

Kelly Belly-Up

[user46392]

Alessandro Lusso raised from the button and JP Kelly in the big blind moved all in for 103,500.

Lusso tanked up long enough for your blogger to do two circuits of the cardroom, and eventually had the clock called on him. At some point within his one minute countdown, he called with pocket sixes, and found Kelly holding a still coinflipping {10-?}

. Kelly failed to hit, and instead he hits the rail. Good thing he's got a couple of bracelets and a bunch of money at home to ease his EPT pain.

In the Zink of an Eye

[user46392]

A few hands after mucking his hand on the river to Theo Tran, Sebastian Zink got his last 130,000 in preflop, called by Max Heinzelmann.

Zink: {8-Hearts}

Heinzelmann: {A-Spades}

Check out this board: {8-Clubs}

With a handshake, we lose the multicoloured Zinkster thus.

Amsellem Loses Chips, Scarf, Air of Mystery

[user46392]

Jeremy Amsellem, notable in the cardroom these past few days for the Arabic head scarf he's had actually tied right over his face so you can't see him, occasionally hiking it up over his eyes he can't see you either -- anyway, this Mr. Amsellem moved all in with {8-Spades}

and found himself up against small blind Rodrigo Caprioli's {7-Spades}

.

Board: {6-Diamonds}

Big blind Peter Eastgate said he'd folded {A-?}

. Either way, Mr. Amsellem, his scarf finally removed and the press slightly disappointed that he has no intriguing disfigurements underneath it, is busto.

It Ain't Over for Obst

[user46392]

James Obst was all in with {5-Hearts}

after open-shoving for his last 153,000, and Max Heinzelmann called with {A-Hearts}

.

Obst was standing in preparation to leave as soon as the flop came down, but he was clearly just bluffing the poker gods -- the turn and river came down completely harmless, and he doubles to around 310,000.

Board: {J-Diamonds}
