First Benny Glaser doubled Omar Baioumy up when Baioumy held aces. And then he shoved his remaining chips (less than 300,000) on the button with and was called by Volodymyr Drokin in the big blind with .
The board ran out - even though Glaser picked up the straight draw on the flop, the final heart on the river gave Drokin the nut flush and an elimination to his name.
Mikael Andersson had shoved all in from the cutoff and was called by Kjell Ove Dyb on the button. Yuliyan Kolev also shoved from the small blind and Andersson called that too.
Mikael Andersson:
Yuliyan Kolev:
Kjell Ove Dyb:
The board ran out - no help for Andersson nor Kolev and they have both been eliminated.
Mikael Andersson can probably be heard from all over the room as he seems to be a bit louder than the rest of the players. He doesn't seem to like Miami and lets his opinion be heard. One thing is for sure, the waitress will always be able to hear him as he's buying drinks for his "friends" at the table.
"What is the minimum raise?" Andersson asked the dealer. The dealer confirmed it was 140,000.
Andersson raised to 140,000 from the under-the-gun position and was only called by Kayhan Roshanfekr in the big blind.
"You call me, my friend?!" he asked Roshanfekr. Roshanfekr confirmed with a smile.
The flop came on which they both checked. They did the same on the on the turn and the on the river. Andersson flipped over and Roshanfekr mucked his hand.
"Thank you my friend!" Andersson said.
Then Andersson, Roshanfekr and Yuliyan Kolev flipped for who would pay a round of beers and Andersson lost.
"SERVICE!" Andersson shouted while the waitress was already standing near him. All the players at the surrounding tables looked up and laughed.
With the registration period open for another 15 minutes at the end of this level, the "Seat Open" term can be heard a lot all over the room as players are trying to build up a stack quickly until the registration period closes. Here are some of the recent eliminations:
Michael Sklenicka just more than tripled up and was happy enough to tell PokerNews about it.
"The player in the under-the-gun position had raised to 110,000, I shoved on the button for 520,000 with pocket fives. The small blind called with ace-queen offsuit. The big blind didn't see the raiser but also called with pocket sixes. First guy folded. Queen on the flop, five on the river" Sklenicka said with a smile.
