Rasmus Gandrup Doubles Through

[user4144]

Rasmus Gandrup found himself all in versus two callers, which soon turned to one when Mark Vos pushed Stephan Inhester off the {3-Hearts}

flop with a bet of 20,000, before flipping {K-Hearts}

. Gandrup showed {A-Spades}

and duly survived a {7-Diamonds}

turn and

river.

"Thank you for betting," said a relieved Gandrup.

Thomas Wagermaier Eliminated

[user4144]

They're dropping like lemmings on a tightrope here. The latest exit brought us to our final table, thus meaning it was Thomas Wagermaier who felt the full splash of the bubble when his {5-Diamonds}

came up against the {A-Spades}

of an on-the-roll Mark Vos.

The flop rolled out a {6-Spades}

to put Vos a country mile in front, but the {8-Diamonds}

turn gave his opponent a smell of victory. The triumphant scents soon dispersed, however, the {K-Spades}

river sealing victory for Vos and awarding him a highly dramatic pot.

Final table counts to follow...

Grief for Griesmann

[user46392]

Peter Griesmann is our latest casualty, putting his whole stack in with {A-Diamonds}

and smacking right into an on-fire Michael Pesek's {Q-Hearts}

. Plenty of possibilities on the board, but all of them were ultimately unrealized and Griesmann hit the rail.

Board: {J-Clubs}

Level: 12

Blinds: 3,000/6,000

Ante: 500

against Rasmus Gandrup's {J-Diamonds}

, and survived the {3-Hearts}

board intact, coming out at the end of it with around 12,000 in chips.

Pesek vs. Podechtl; Pesek Wins

[user46392]

Not long after knocking out O'Kelly, Michael Pesek knocked out another one. He raised to 9,000 under the gun and then called the all-in reraise from Stefan Podechtl; it was a race.

Pesek: {K-Clubs}

Podechtl:

O'Kelly Not OK

[user46392]

Luke O'Kelly is out, getting it in on the {8-Clubs}

flop with

and finding himself drawing painfully thin against Michael Pesek's {7-Spades}

. No miracles from the {3-Hearts}

turn or

river, and he is no more for this tournament.

The Fall and Rise of Vos

[user4144]

Before I'd barely licked the buffet remains from my lips, charismatic Mark Vos had both doubled up and seen his stack decimated in the space of just two hands.

They didn't happen in that order, though, Vos first being caught in the act by Christian Fischbacher. I joined the action just as chips were being transferred with a {Q-Spades}

resting on the felt. Whichever way you look at it, it didn't look rosy for Vos, his {10-Clubs}

no match for his foe's {K-Clubs}

.

"I have the same chips as you now," commented Vos to friend Luke O'Kelly on the neighboring table. "Someone called, it went badly."

"It's okay though," he continued. "I'll have all my chips back in a couple of hands or be out. I'm not as scary anymore."

And, Vos did indeed live up to that promise, pushing all in the very next hand and being called by Viliyan Petleshkov in the big blind with {A-Clubs}
