Uzi Gunned Down

[user46392]

So good they named him twice, Bessi Bessy raised to 2,000 from the cutoff, only for the equally delightfully monikered Uzi Gellman to reraise to a suspicious-looking 4,000 total from the button. Bessy raised an eyebrow, and flat called.

Flop: {6-Hearts}

Bessy announced all in for 7,725 and Gellman INSTA-called; on their backs.

Bessy: {7-Clubs}

Gellman:

Turn:

River:

Credit to Snoopy for the headline, so that he doesn't beat me when we get home.

Bad Beat for Vos

[user4144]

It's not unusual to see Mark Vos play a marginal hand, but there were more than the odd eyebrow raised when Vos had a man all in with {8-Diamonds}

, UTG. His opponent held {A-Clubs}

.

Although there were shouts of a deuce, no such luck emerged as the flop came a rather emphatic {A-Diamonds}

. "I can still win," observed an optimistic Vos, but not when the {10-Hearts}

turn, followed by an academic {Q-Hearts}

river.

Vos is now down to 32,000.

Alexander the Not So Great

[user4144]

Alexander Eder is out, but not before being poked and prodded by the Poker gods. All in with {Q-Diamonds}

versus

, Eder was in dire need of assistance, which duly arrived on the {A-Diamonds}

flop, but a {10-Hearts}

turn and

river dealt a cruel blow, given that he had completed the hard part of spiking the flop.

Kullenberg Culls Lackovic

[user46392]

Nik Lackovic is no more for this tournament after falling foul of an expressionless Simon Kullenberg. Lackovic had mucked by the time this blogger got there, but the board read {3-Diamonds}

and Kullenberg could boas {A-Hearts}

for a full house. Kullenberg had Lackovic just covered, and he is very definitely our new chip leader on around 70,000.

Kersjes! I'm Beat

[user46392]

With the board reading {K-Spades}

, big blind Jeroen Kersjes checked to Mark Vos, who bet 3,500. After a short pause, the short-stacked Kersjes merely flat called, and Vos had mucked before Kersjes even showed him a six for the lower end of the straight.

Salvatore's Salvation

[user46392]

Three players saw an {8-Hearts}

flop, and in the small blind position Salvatore Cundari open-shoved for his last 3,500. Big blind Bessi Bessy passed, but Uzi Gellman who'd limped in under the gun called.

Cundari: {5-Diamonds}

Gellman:

River:

Cundari now rests on 11,000 in chips.

Marc Veldhoven Eliminated

[user4144]

With blinds on 600 and 1,200 with a running ante of 100, a short-stacked Marc Veldhoven decided to make his move, pushing in his final 7,200, in addition to a Bounty Bar that was resting on his stack, with {K-Diamonds}

. Unfortunately for him, Joey Buhmann was salivating in the big blind with {Q-Clubs}

, and had no trouble surviving a harmless {5-Clubs}
