Bubble Refuses to Burst

Ramazanali Abbassi
Ramazanali Abbassi
It's very tense out there at the moment, with most hands taking quite a while to complete. We did witness one all-in, however, as Ramazanali Abbassi's preflop raise of 7,000 was reraised all in by Jörg Peisert for what appeared to be around the 18,000 mark. Naturally, Abbassi made the call.

Abbassi = {A-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{6-Hearts}
Peisert = {A-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{A-Hearts}{10-Spades}

Not a bad flop for Peisert...

{4-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}

Turn = {J-Clubs}
River = {3-Diamonds}

Abbassi is now the current short stack and engulfed by the looming shadow of the bubble.

G Hits the Spot

Double up, then dinner

High Rollers:

With some sort of confusion over whether Mark Vos had called or reraised Tony G preflop, Tony declared himself all in before the {10-Spades} {3-Diamonds} {K-Clubs} flop. "I hope you don't have a wrap," said Vos as he eyed up the flop. "I have a gutshot." He called.

Vos: {9-Spades} {6-Spades} {2-Hearts} {J-Diamonds}
Tony G: {Q-Spades} {Q-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} {3-Clubs}

Vos, looking at Tony G's cards: "That's my gutshot."

Turn: {A-Spades}

River: {6-Diamonds}

Tony G doubles up to just over 20,000, while Vos drops down to 23,000.

High rollers are on a dinner break now.

Thierry Loqmane Eliminated; We Are on the Bubble

[user46392]
[user46392]
With the board reading {5-Spades} {8-Spades} {10-Spades} {A-Spades} {J-Spades}, Simon Kullenberg bet 10,000.

His opponent Thierry Loqmane bit his lip, then sat back in his chair. He pulled a peculiarly French expression, his mouth downturned at the corners, before folding.

This hand was, it seems, a pretty big setback for him -- just a few hands later and Loqmane was out, the rest of chips heading to Klaus Dresl.

Walthaus Takes the Fedor-al Express

[user46392]
[user46392]
Jorn Walthaus is our latest low-roller casualty: he raised pot and then called all in to a reraise from Fedor Los. Walthaus' {A-?} {10-?} {8-?} {2-?} was behind Los' {Q-?} {Q-?} {A-?} {K-?} all the way, and he finishes in 12th place, just outside the money.

We are now on the bubble-bubble.

Duthie Bites the Dust

[user46392]
[user46392]
More High Roller action:

John Duthie, short again, pushed all in on his big blind, and got himself called by Mark Vos. The actual cards are a little hazy, but Duthie was all done, and has presumably headed for the buffet.

Bromham Turns Up the Aggression

[user46392]
[user46392]
Thierry Loqmane limped in, and it folded around to Simon Kullenberg in the small blind who raised pot -- 6,400 in total.

Big blind Tony Bromham, however, made it pot again -- a total of 20,800. Loqmane got out of there pretty sharpish, and after a pause, so did Kullenberg.
