Obrestad Climbing Again

We had a bit of an internet outage in the media room, so it's a bit old news now to report that Annette Obrestad has more than 800,000 chips. With a mountain of chips already in the middle, she bet 100,500 on a board of {J-Clubs} {9-Spades} {6-Diamonds} {K-Spades} and was called by Joe Ebanks. Both players checked the {10-Spades} river, with Obrestad turning over the winning {k-Clubs} {k-Diamonds}, a set of kings.

Laak of the Devil

A pretty big pot for Phil Laak. Laak, who was overheard earlier complaining that the common rule that bans the use of mobile phones etc at the tables was, "The most retarded rule ever," seems to be doing ok without constant contact with the outside world. He raised preflop and got called by Vadim Shlez in the big blind. Shlez check-called the increasing bets from Laak on every street of the {4-Spades} {Q-Spades} {J-Clubs} {5-Diamonds} {10-Hearts} board until Laak announced all in on the river. After a pause, Shlez passed the {J-Diamonds} up.

Wheeler Rolls Out

Brent Wheeler is busto, getting it in with {8-Spades} {9-Spades} against Mikhail Tulchinskiy's {K-Hearts} {K-Diamonds} -- not as weird as it sounds because there were two spades on the flop, but no more came on the turn or river and he's gone.

Laak Roars Back

Phil Laak's stack is all over the place this morning. After being crippled down to 50,000, we watched him double up from the big blind by raising all in over the top of button player Vadim Shlez's open-raise to 13,000. Shlez sighed in frustration, asked for a count, then called. Shlez's two-by-four, {4-Diamonds} {2-Clubs}, was behind Laak's {k-Diamonds} {6-Spades}. Despite Laak's raised eyebrow (as if to say "Am I really going to be taken out of a EUR 10,000 event by deuce-four?") a board of {Q-Hearts} {j-Diamonds} {9-Spades} {8-Clubs} {7-Spades} gave Laak the double-up. He has since increased his count to 170,000.

Naujoks On Fire

Sandra Naujoks has had an excellent first half hour.

First, a raising was between Sylvain Taddei on the cutoff and Naujoks on the button resulted in her pushing and him calling all in -- but his {J-Clubs} {J-Spades} were no match for her {Q-Clubs} {Q-Hearts}, and he is now out of the running.

A few minutes later, Carl Olson shoved with {A-?} {5-?} but found himself up against Naujok's pocket aces, and soon he was heading for the door as well.

Naujoks is up to around the 600,000 mark.

Reynolds Out?

Looks as though William Reynolds is bust -- we know this not because we saw him go out, but because there's now someone else in his seat and he somehow seems to have migrated to the high rollers event. Unless he's engaging in some kind of elaborate multi-tabling operation, he is indeed gone.
