Fingers in the Jar?

Timothy Vance, an American online qualifier, had 13,000 chips in the middle pre-flop and Ulrik Pedersen moved all in for 25,400 total. The press watching was astounded when Vance managed to find a fold considering he had over 50,000 chips behind. Including antes he was getting over 3:1 pot odds.

Nielsen Shows the Bluff

Nicolas Derveaux opened the pot for 5,800 from middle position and Rasmus Hede Nielsen called from the cutoff. The flop was {A-Spades}{10-Hearts}{3-Clubs}. Derveaux led out for 5,000 and Nielsen quickly called. The turn was the {10-Clubs}. Derveaux checked, Nielsen bet 13,500 and Derveaux folded.

Nielsen tabled {8-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} for a stone bluff.

"That's a Scandi play!" exclaimed Ed de Haas as Nielsen dragged the pot.

Almost a Massive Pot

With 13,000 in the middle and the flop reading {Q-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{4-Spades}, Joseph Serock in the small blind bet out 8,000 chips; Trond Erik Eidsvig in the big blind calls.

They checked down the {8-Clubs}{2-Clubs} turn and river and Serock took the pot with {Q-Spades}{7-Spades}. Trond slammed down {A-Spades}{J-Spades} and laughed knowing that possibly a 250,000 chip pot was going his way had a spade hit the turn or river!

Plan for the Day

The plan is to play 4 more levels or until we reach the money (40 players), whichever comes first.

Tomorrow they will play to the final table.
