Graceful in Defeat

Also bust before the end of the level was tallest New Zealander in the room Richard Grace.

A gentleman we think was Henrik Junker raised with pocket sixes, and Grace went over the top for his last 81,000 with {A-?} {5-?}. Junker called, Grace failed to spike, and Grace now has a nice free evening in Copenhagen.

Toth Bluffed

With 200,000 in the pot by the river of the {10-Clubs} {8-Clubs} {Q-Spades} {A-Clubs} {9-Diamonds} board, last night's chip leader Csaba Toth was left with a very serious decision when Stig Rossen put him all in for his last 150,000. He thought about it for a very long time before folding, and we can only imagine what went through Toth's head when Rossen showed him {K-Clubs} {4-Hearts} for absolutely nothing.

Romanello Still in the Lead, Probably Wants to Vomit

Not well at all
Not well at all
By the by, as players start throwing their chips into the middle gladly, Roberto Romanello remains the massive chip leader.

He's maneuvered his way right up to around 1.2 million chips - not bad for a man who's currently suffering from food poisoning and got no sleep last night because of it. While he would probably rather be in his hotel room, staring into the ceramic void of the facilities, he seems to be doing a pretty good job of running this tournament right now.

"Whatever. How Much is It?"

A preflop raising war between Ricky Fohrenbach and Julien Haution left Haution all in for his final 213,000. Fohrenbach turned over a very strong {K-Spades} {K-Hearts}, only to see he had been coolered by his opponent's {A-Spades} {A-Hearts}.

The door card was the {A-Clubs}, and the board of {9-Diamonds} {2-Hearts} {A-Clubs} {J-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} ensured that Haution won't be departing any time soon.

"Whatever... how much is it?" asked a disheartened Fohrenbach as he prepared to pay his debts. That loss slides him down to 240,000, ballooning Haution up around 435,000 in the process.

Rustom Left Out in the Rain

Stig Rossen min-raised and Berjar Rustom called behind to see a {5-Clubs} {9-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds} flop.

It looked like Rossen bet out first; but however the action went, Rustom was soon all in and called.

Rustom: {K-Spades} {Q-Spades}
Rossen: {A-Diamonds} {K-Hearts}

Turn: {5-Spades}

River: {8-Clubs}

Haution High

We arrived just in time to see Julien Haution doubling up, his {A-?} {K-?} holding up against Peter Eastgate's {A-?} {Q-?}.

Eastgate made a noise like a plumber telling you how much your burst pipes are going to cost, and drops to around 350,000.

If Wissing Made Things So

Mads Wissing opened for 14,000 from the cutoff but Nicolo Calia on the button made it 33,000. Both blinds folded and the action moved back on Wissing, who re-popped for a total of 81,000. Calia flat-called.

"So we play for all the chips now," said Wissing. True.

The flop came down {5-Clubs} {10-Spades} {9-Spades} and the action went check-all-in-call, very quickly. Showdown.

Calia: {J-Spades} {J-Diamonds}
Wissing: {A-Clubs} {A-Spades}

Turn: {10-Hearts}

River: {2-Diamonds}

With that, Wissing is up to around 375,000. Calia meanwhile is crippled down to just 50,000.

Hopkins Bubbles, Everyone Else Is in the Money

Morten Guldhammer raised, and Craig Hopkins shoved for 77,000 in total. "You have a king?" asked Guldhammer. No response. He called anyway.

Hopkins: {Q-Clubs} {Q-Hearts}
Guldhammer: {K-Hearts} {10-Clubs}

"Kiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnng!!!" ordered Guldhammer.

Duly, board: {K-Spades} {7-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} {3-Spades} {A-Diamonds}

"YESSSSSSS!" shouted Guldhammer as the king fell. Then, more quietly, "Sorry."

Guldhammer didn't seem particularly sorry to be honest, and was celebrating long after the hapless Hopkins had trudged off.
