Glaser Eliminated in Two Hands

Level 14 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Benny Glaser (in an earlier event)
Benny Glaser (in an earlier event)

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 {6-Hearts}{4-Clubs} and was called by Volodymyr Drokin in the big blind with {A-Hearts}{4-Spades}.

The board ran out {8-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{q-Spades}{9-Hearts} - 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.

Yuliyan Kolev: {A-Hearts}{q-Hearts}
Kjell Ove Dyb: {8-Spades}{8-Clubs}

Andersson Wins the Hand, Loses the Flip

Level 13 : 35,000/70,000, 70,000 ante

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 {2-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} on which they both checked. They did the same on the {3-Spades} on the turn and the {k-Spades} on the river. Andersson flipped {q-Spades}{q-Clubs} 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.

Sklenicka Triples Up

Level 12 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Michael Sklenicka (in an earlier event)
Michael Sklenicka (in an earlier event)

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.
