Nebezhev Briefly Hangs On by a Thread

Khazret Nebezhev was all in for shrapnel preflop, called by both Luca Pagano and Jasper Wetemans. Both players checked the {A-Diamonds} {2-Hearts} {K-Diamonds} flop and Pagano checked the {Q-Spades} turn too before folding to a 5,000 bet from Wetemans. Wetemans confidently flipped {K-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds} for two pair - but Nebezhev turned over {A-Spades} {2-Diamonds} for a higher two pair, and he tripled up to the heady heights of 5,000 chips or so - that's five big blinds.

A hand or two later and Nebezhev succumbed. We're not sure when the chips went in, but there were two queens on the flop and Nebezhev's {Q-?} {7-?} trailed all the way against Luca Pagano's {A-?} {Q-?}.

Pinho the Tail on the Donkey

A fine start to the day for Vitor Pinho, after a gentleman whose number was mysteriously absent from the seating plan open-shoved in mid position for 9,300. Pinho called out of the big blind, and the unknown player was quickly consigned to the recycle bin of poker history.

Mr. Nobody: {A-Diamonds} {8-Clubs}
Pinho: {A-Clubs} {K-Diamonds}

Board: {7-Clubs} {6-Clubs} {A-Hearts} {4-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds}

Marching On

The Danish clearly feel that breaks between levels are for losers, so we will be proceeding directly to level 10 without the 15 minute break that we normally enjoy after every level on Day 2.

Blinds up!

Ruthless-berg

In middle position, Martin Wendt came in raising to 2,700. Sebastian Ruthenberg called from the button, and the decision came around to Casper Toft in the big blind. He stacked out a reraise and slid out 9,900 total. Wendt asked to see Toft's stack before electing to fold, but Ruthenberg came right along with the call once again.

Heads up, the flop came down {4-Clubs} {2-Spades} {2-Clubs}. Toth continued out with 10,500 chips, and Ruthenberg made the smooth call. On the turn, the {6-Spades} signaled another bet from Toth, 17,500 this time. But Ruthenberg wanted to play for more. In fact, he wanted to play for it all as he put two hands behind his chips and slid them all across the line.

Toth suck in his chair and let out a big, "Hmph!" in disgust. He had about 52,000 chips left in his stack, and he was faced with a decision for the full amount. Eventually, and quite angrily, Toth returned his cards to the dealer face-down.

Ruthenberg appears to have about 175,000 after that hand.

Bel of the Ball

Stefan Nielsen raised to 3,000 in the cutoff and got looked up by both Dario Minieri in the small blind and Bahram Beleiverdi in the big blind.

Both blinds checked the {4-Diamonds} {6-Spades} {6-Hearts} flop to Nielsen who bet another 6,000. Minieri gave it up without a fight, but big stack Beleiverdi made the call and they continued to the turn.

The turn was the {K-Hearts} and Beleiverdi checked again; this time he laid it down to a 10,000 bet from Nielsen and the hand was concluded without a showdown.

No feeling sorry for Mr. Beleiverdi though! After starting the day as the table big stack on 94,000, he has done nothing but improve since he got here and even after that hand he's on a commanding 160,000.

Jelassi Come Home

A preflop raising war between Ramzi Jelassi (button) and Peter Turmezey (small blind) was eventually won by Turmezey, but not before Jelassi had lost 10,000 on the hand.

Mr. Jelassi is now perched on 55,000.

Sharpe Gets Stung

The flop read {7-Hearts} {3-Clubs} {3-Hearts} by the time we arrived tableside, and Jeffrey Sharpe had checked. Cristiano Blanco in the cutoff, who seemed to have raised preflop, bet 6,000. After a moment Sharpe called.

The turn was the {7-Spades} and Sharpe checked again. This time Blanco bet 11,000, and after a little while, a rather twitchy Sharpe called again.

Sharpe checked a third time on the {8-Spades} river and this time Blanco bet 16,000. Sharpe looked a little flustered and folded. The triumphant Blanco quietly flashed {9-?} {4-?} offsuit, and raked in the considerable pot.
