New Chip Leader

[user4144]

Sebastien Guerlinze is your current chip daddio with around 50,000. He just eliminated neighbor Jeroen Kersjes with {K-Hearts}

versus

in the big and small blind respectively. All the monies went in on a {6-Hearts}

flop, a disappointed Kersjes failing to escape on a {5-Diamonds}

turn and

river.

The Rise & Fall of Alexander Eder

[user4144]

In the space of just two hands, Alexander Eder both doubled through, and doubled out.

The 'rise' came in a battle of the blinds confrontation with Yoeri van Erp, the latter pushing from the small blind with {K-Hearts}

and being snap-called by {K-Spades}

in the big. A {6-Clubs}

board, however, delivered Eder his one of three outs to see his stack increase two fold to 4,700.

The 'fall' came courtesy of Noel Ramu, the latter's {A-Clubs}

slightly behind against Eder's {8-Spades}

. The

seemed safe as houses, but the {10-Hearts}

on the turn virtually sealed the deal. At this point, Eder made a noise as if someone had plucked a hair from his eyebrows, before the {2-Diamonds}

river confirmed his demise.

Meanwhile, Ramu appears to be close to the 20,000 mark.

.

Three Way All In; Taxacher Eliminated

[user4144]

I joined the action as Rasmus Gandrup and Arvydas Kondratas were checking down the turn and river of a {J-Spades}

board. Anton Taxacher tabled {3-Diamonds}

and held his breath, but any prayers would have been in vain as Kondratas snapped up the pot, although by the skin of his teeth, with {K-Spades}

. Gandrup had {10-Clubs}

.

Rasmus on the Rampage

[user46392]

Eduard Borochov seems to have either limped or raised under the gun; either way, a short-stacked Sandra Ambroz moved all in, only for giganto-stack Rasmus Gandrup to reraise enough to cover everyone else at the table. Borochov slammed the rest of his chips across the line, and they turned their cards over.

Borochov: {A-Clubs}

Ambroz:

Gandrup:

Board:

Thus Gandrup made a straight and both Ambroz and Borochov got themselves an early night.
