Mr. Toth in the tank
From the button, Luca Cainelli opened to 41,000. Richard Toth made a three-bet to 102,000 from the big blind, only to see Cainelli move all in for 470,000 total, enough to cover his opponent.
That sent Toth very deep into the tank, long enough that we watched several hands at the other tables while he was still deliberating. He gazed across the felt at Cainelli, hoping to glean some useful tidbit of a tell. Eventually, Toth cut down his own stack to check the potential damage, and after another several minutes, he finally released his cards into the muck.
We're at the end of another level, and we've arrived squarely at a 15-minute break. Don't go anywhere. Or if you do, get back here in 14 minutes or so.
We joined the action too late to reconstruct the betting for you, but what we do know is that Sven Mol was all in before the flop for about 470,000 holding . We don't know whether Brent Wheeler was the shover or the caller, but either way he got in there with and a very slightly covering stack.
The flop was money in the bank for Wheeler, and the board of earned him a very large pot and a very important knockout. He's essentially doubled his way up very close to the million-chip mark.
We're down to 32 players, and we've broken another table. We'll play on for eight more knockouts before calling it a night.
Allan Baekke
Allan Baekke opened with a raise to 23,000 from late position, and Johannes Holstege put in a three-bet to 53,000 next door. Baekke called the remainder, and the two men went off to a flop of .
They'd both check there, and the dealer dropped the on fourth street. That drew a leading bet of 60,000 from Bakke which Holstege wasted little time calling.
Fifth street brought the and another bet from Baekke, 102,000 this time. Once again, the call came relatively quickly from his neighbor. Baekke tabled , but that ace on the river had only cost him chips. Holstege showed up the winning , and that pot moves him up to about 680,000.
Don't you worry about Baekke; he's still doing just fine with about 1.1 million.
Mickey Doft
Marcel Koller opened to 22,500 under the gun and Simon Ehne re-raised to 100,000 on the button. Ivo Donev called all in from the big blind for about 90,000 and Koller got out of the way.
