Juicy Blinds

[user22113]

Average stack is now 102,000. That's just twelve and half blinds with half this level remaining, so most of the action is just all in pre-flop at the moment.

Schlepphorst is Out

[user22113]

Markus Schlepphorst is the latest casuality. He pushed his remaining few chips in with {K-Hearts}

and was called by Jesper Witved {8-Clubs}

; the flop was {J-Hearts}

Never mind, Markus, you're going home slightly better off than when you arrived three days ago.

Christer Johansson Eliminated

[user22113]

He was crippled when losing a race with pocket sevens in the previous hand, and was then forced to put in the rest with {Q-Hearts}

. The villain in the hand was Mattias Andersson, with {6-Hearts}

, who out-flopped him on a {3-Clubs}

board.

on the turn {3-Diamonds}

on the river and the Swede is out.

Now that the bubble has popped, there will be multiple all-ins on all tables for at least the next hour.

Witved Back in the Game

[user22113]

.

Witved bets $15,000 and everyone folds, Witved shows {Q-Spades}

Wow

[user22113]

Philip Yeh opens on the button for 18,000 and Jesper Witved moves all in for just 6,000 more from the small blind.

{K-Spades}

for Yeh vs. {A-Clubs}

for Witved.

{K-Clubs}

, Yeh goes ahead.
Turn {9-Diamonds}

, no help for Witved.
River {10-Spades}

, giving Witved the nut straight.

Cheers go up in the press room and Witved, who qualified for this event with 400 Stars Frequent Player Points, punches the air in delight as he survives being knocked out on the bubble.

The Bubble is Not for Bursting

[user22113]

We've just had two more short stacks survive an all-in scenario on the bubble simultaneously. We are unsure as to what the hands were exactly, from our limited vantage point, coupled with the fact a huge crowd is hanging around each table. Nevertheless, the bubble ain't bursting any time soon.

Level: 16

Blinds: 4,000/8,000

Ante: 800
