Opponent Ker-Zhapped

The Zhappelin flies high
The Zhappelin flies high
The flop read {8-Clubs} {K-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} and Yury Kerzhapkin in the big blind position bet out 5,000. His opponent on the button shoved, and after a moment, Kerzhapkin made a slightly reluctant call.

Kerzhapkin: {K-Clubs} {4-Spades} for top pair with a nothing-y kicker
Mr. Button: {9-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} for an open-ended straight draw

Turn: {7-Clubs}

River: {2-Spades}

Kerzhapkin is up to 65,000, and there's an empty seat where his opponent used to be.

Wigg Wrecks Weekes

We walked up to one of the far tables to see the first four cards on board, reading {8-Clubs} {J-Hearts} {5-Clubs} {A-Diamonds}. Jonathan Weekes checked, and Anton Wigg fired out 3,150 into a pot of about 5,000. Weekes shrugged and announced an all-in check-raise, sticking his ~14,000 remaining chips into the middle. Weekes practically beat him into the pot with the call and the covering stack.

Showdown
Weekes: {A-Hearts} {K-Clubs}
Wigg: {A-Spades} {J-Clubs}

Wigg was well ahead with his aces up, and Weekes would need to find one of the three remaining kings in the deck to stay afloat. The river was paint, but the {Q-Clubs} was definitely not a king, and that's the end of yet another player. The big board shows 147 players left.

Lodden Hooked

With the flop reading {2-Diamonds} {10-Clubs} {K-Diamonds}, the action checked around to Johnny Lodden on the button who bet 2,500.

"May I see your chips, Johnny?" asked a very polite Dario Minieri in the big blind position. "No," said Johnny, but Minieri peeked anyway. He called, as did a third player in mid position.

The turn was the {J-Diamonds} and again it checked around to Lodden. This time he bet 8,500. Minieri folded, but Mr. Mid Position flat-called before checking the {5-Hearts} river as well. After a long pause, Lodden checked behind - and promptly mucked when Mr. Mid Position turned over {J-Clubs} {J-Spades} for a turned set. Lodden sighed and looked up at the ceiling as though the poker gods might tell him what he'd done wrong. He didn't seem to get any response, though, and is left with 65,000.

Hi Ho Silva!

Alexander Petersen got the rest of his short stack in good, holding {A-Diamonds} {K-Clubs} to Jose Carlos Da Silva's {K-Hearts} {Q-Hearts}. The board would from on the at-risk Petersen, though, coming {2-Spades} {J-Spades} {Q-Diamonds} {7-Hearts} {8-Hearts}. That queen on the flop was too much to overcome, and Petersen's day is done.

Da Silva is a PokerStars sponsored player, and he's putting that to good use, having built a stack of about 65,000 thus far.

Annette Over Her Starting Stack

Annette profit
Annette profit
The gentleman under the gun raised and picked up two callers, one of them Annette Obrestad.

All three players checked the {Q-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds} {2-Spades} flop, and the raiser tried a 3,000 bet on the {4-Spades} turn. The first caller folded, but Obrestad called.

They both checked the {6-Diamonds} river, and the original raiser could only boast {A-Clubs} {2-Clubs}. Obrestad flipped {Q-Hearts} {10-Hearts}, and took the pot.

Obrestad is on a below average but still comfortable 32,000.

Nielsen Has to Call, Might Have to Throw Up

Nooooo!
Nooooo!
By the time we joined the action, the board read {10-Diamonds} {7-Hearts} {2-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds} {7-Clubs} and there was almost 25,000 in the pot. Rasmus Nielsen was staring down at his opponent's 15,300 bet and considering his options.

"I think I have to call," he muttered, and tossed in the chips - but he was already standing when his opponent turned over {2-Spades} {2-Hearts} for a full house, and Nielsen quickly mucked his cards and walked off in the general direction of away.

When Nielsen returns to the table, he will find that he has roughly 37,500 in chips remaining.

Thor Losing His Thunder

It's always interesting to see where players draw that shovey-foldy line, and for Thor Drexel it seems that the line is at around 25 big blinds.

Drexel has found himself toeing this line and seated rather uncomfortably to the direct right of Arnaud Mattern. Most recently the two of them were involved in a blind-on-blind confrontation that saw Drexel bet out 2,800 on the turn of a {J-?} {3-?} {4-?} {9-?} board, only to fold instantly to a raise from Mattern that would have put him all in.

The next hand, Drexel open-shoved for 10,700, but got no takers. He remains on roughly 25 big blinds.
