The pots are getting bigger, and many aces head into showdown before crashing right into a big pocket pair. The latest hand was no different, as Jesper Hoog and Ivan Luca went at it. The raising war created a pot of 8,000,000 chips and put Hoog at risk of elimination.
Jesper Hoog: 
Ivan Luca: 
The board came 
and Hoog failed to get there, a quick count of the stacks revealed more than 4,400,000 for Luca and Hoog was covered to join the rail.

Sam Trickett raised from early position and the action folded around to Christian Christner on the button. The German three-bet and then called the shove of Trickett.
Sam Trickett:
Christian Christner: 
On the 
flop, Trickett all but locked up the double and just running aces would eliminate the partypoker ambassador. A blank 
turn reduced that minimal threat to zero, making the 
river a formality. "What is this, no sweat at all?" Florian Duta joked from the other side of the table.

Dane Morten Mortensen only arrived in Nottingham this afternoon and bought straight into the Main Event. He's been doing very well for himself and has turned his one million chips into more than five at this point.
First off he got three streets of value with Queens against Patrick Mulhern. Mortensen raised from the button, Mulhern called out of the big blind, and the flop came 
. Mulhern check-called 145,000 and did the same again on the 
turn. On the 
river Mortensen bet 425,000, got the call and took the pot with the overpair.
Next, he won a decent sized one when he made it 115,000 to go from first position, Jost Reifuhs flatted in the cutoff and Jan Bednar squeezed it up to 405,000 out of the small blind. Back on Mortensen he put both his opponent to the test by moving all-in, but neither Reifuhs nor Bednar were interested and let go of their hands.

Short stack Kevin Allen shoved from the hijack and the action folded to Christopher Yong on the button, who asked for a count. Allen's shove was for 701,000 and Yong then reraised all in to get everyone else including Michael Muldoon in the big blind out of the way.
Kevin Allen:
Christopher Yong: 
The 
in the window was spelling trouble for Allen, and he was drawing dead by the time the 
turn was there, making the on the river a mere formality. "Good luck Jon," Allen said on his way out and below are the other notables on the table.
