Unbelievable, Incredible, Amazing Quadruple-up for Fortey

Says "Hi" to the kids
Says "Hi" to the kids
OK, this is complicated.

Christian Fischbacher limped in under the gun. To his left, Simon Kullenberg pushed all in for his last 2,800. It folded around to Colin Fortey on the small blind, who called all in for just 2,600. On the big blind, Mark Vos then raised to 7,000 -- only for Fischbacher to reraise to 20,000.

Vos tanked up for a long time, sitting back in his chair and meditating upon the felt. Eventually he passed.

Kullenberg: {A-Spades} {Q-Spades}
Fortey: {7-Spades} {5-Spades}
Fischbacher: {A-Clubs} {Q-Clubs}
Vos: "F***! What a bitch! I was so close to pushing..."

Board: {5-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} {3-Hearts} {9-Clubs} {7-Diamonds}

Fortey pulled a full house out of thin air to quadruple up, and the dealer initially declared Kullenberg busted before realizing his mistake and giving him back his 200 change.

Fortey: "Make sure you put a big headline on that..."

Woes for Willemoes

Anders Willemoes Larsen
Anders Willemoes Larsen
Anders Willemoes Larsen raised to 2,200 from UTG, only for (almost) namesake Allan Laursen to push all in from the big blind. Larsen made the call with {A-Clubs}{9-Spades}, but grimaced upon being met by {A-Hearts}{J-Hearts}. No change on the {7-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{K-Diamonds} board and a 20-25,000 pot went to the man with just two names.

It wasn't all bad for Larsen, though, as he was moved to another table, thus evading the wrath of the big blind. A small consolation, but a consolation nonetheless.

Martin Was the Leader All the Way

I spotted the very tail end of a clash between Martin Führer and Erich Kollmann. It was a big pot worth around the 55,000 mark, but it looked like it might have been a battle of the blinds confrontation with Kollmann's {A-Diamonds}{J-Spades} in the big in need of assistance against Führer's {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}.

I don't know when the chips went in, but Kollmann's hand didn't improve on the {8-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{K-Hearts} board and the pot went to his neighbor.

Kollmann is down to circa 20,000 as a result.
