Monster Pot for McCorkell

Josef Klinger checked the {6-Hearts} {9-Hearts} {Q-Clubs} flop and called a 47,000 bet from Craig McCorkell. All good.

So they moved on to the {8-Clubs} turn, and here things went a little crazy. Klinger checked to McCorkell, who bet 117,000. Klinger now check-raised to 367,000, and after eyeing up Klinger's stack and requesting a count on it - around 1 million - he flat-called.

They saw a {Q-Diamonds} river and Klinger checked again. McCorkell thought about it for a long time and then bet 381,000, driving Klinger into the tank for a long time. At last he folded, and McCorkell is now in danger of becoming our chip leader - he's up to around 2.1 million.

Jelassi - lucky boy

Ramzi Jelassi raised, and then called the shove from [Removed:39]. Berendsen was well ahead with {A-?} {9-?} against Jelassi's {A-?} {6-?}, but a six dropped on the flop to send the Dutchman to the rail.

The Hruby in the Rough

Paul Berende moved all in for his last 134,000 from middle position. It folded to Martin Hruby in the cutoff, who moved all in over top. Berende knew that wasn't good for him, and he got up before the cards were even exposed. His {A-Hearts} {4-Spades} was in rough shape against Hruby's {K-Hearts} {K-Diamonds}. Another player said he'd folded an ace, but it didn't matter too much when the flop came {4-Hearts} {4-Clubs} {2-Spades}, giving Berende trips. The {8-Spades} on the turn and {8-Clubs} on the river improved him to a boat, and he doubled through Hruby.

No Dinner 'Til It's Over

It has just been announced that there will be no dinner break today - we'll just be playing straight through until we're down to 24. If you want fries, talk to Kevin Eyster...

Plauski Pulls a Straight

Aleh Plauski checked a {Q-Hearts} {10-Spades} {9-Diamonds} flop, and Bruno Lopes moved all in for about 260,000. Plauski called to find that he'd need to improve on his {K-Spades} {Q-Spades} to eliminate Lopes, who held {A-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds}. And improve he did, as the {J-Hearts} on the turn completed Plauski's straight. Lopes needed to river an ace to stay alive, but the {7-Clubs} was no help to him. Still, he made it impressively far today since he started as one of the shortest stacks this morning.
