Kati That Got the Cream

One of our few remaining female players, Kati Jerney (of Hungary), has enjoyed a full double up. She is now around 80,000 after getting it in massively ahead with {A-?}

against her opponent's {A-?}

. The board was entirely surprise-free.

Saab Tentatively Declared Bust

Saab - possibly on dinner, probably bust

While it is possible that David Saab moved tables before the break -- or is now among the half of the field currently having dinner -- he was down to just 15,000 last time we saw him and he's nowhere to be seen now. Therefore, until evidence to the contrary emerges, it looks as though he's out.

Dragan Breathing Fire

Dragan Galic has become simply unstoppable. Just before the break he knocked out three more players.

First, he killed two proverbial birds with one stone, with everyone getting their chips in on a queen-high flop. Galic's pocket kings obliterated his two opponent's {A-?}

and

, respectively.

Then, he went all in with pocket nines and a gent with {K-?}

called all in, being covered by Dragan. A king came on the flop, but a nine on the turn clinched it.

It's beginning to look as though he's made some sort of suspicious deal with the poker gods, or maybe the other guy, because he's on a dominating 425,000.

Martin Not Really Improving

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Actually, he did a little. He was up to 40,000 at one point, but, "I've folded for the past two hours," he sighed. He's now on a rather shaky 20,000.

Saab Did Not Pilfer Chips

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

David Saab is down to just 15,000, but to add insult to injury, another player at the table has been repeatedly accusing him of having stolen some chips from a pot earlier on. Thoroughly disgruntled at this defamation, Saab eventually called the floor man over to tell the gent to quit the accusations.
