Michael Greco Eliminated

Michael Greco was seen in the hallway talking to Mark Goodwin. "I just busted..." were the immortal words we are used to hearing as people chat away from the poker tables.

A crowd suddenly gathered around Christina Orth's table. Pre-flop action was yet to be completed. Christina already had 4,000 chips in the pot and had to call the same again as two players had moved all in both for around 8,000 chips. When she made the call she flipped up {A-Clubs}

which was in bad shape against the {A-Hearts}

of Daniel Larsson and the other player's {Q-Spades}

. There was hope of a split as the board fell {8-Clubs}

by the turn, but a meaningless {3-Hearts}

on the river meant Daniel tripled up and the other player was eliminated.

Johnny Lodden Eliminated

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Though he was having a nice run of it in the first couple of levels, Norway's Johnny Lodden has left the building. Lodden shoved his short stack with A-K and was called by an opponent holding pocket eights. The pair won the race and Lodden hit the rail, much to the dismay of his rather attractive blonde railbirds.
