A Quick Shout-Out

England's Colin Fortey has requested a shout-out for his three kids: (he's lucky, three is our shout-out limit for offspring) Shannon, Connor and Niamh, and he also snuck in girlfriend Tina onto the list too.

Poker wise, Colin is currently on 15,650 having "played just a few small pots and received no big pairs."

It should also be noted that Colin was first in the queue for the buffet, leaving his table a few minutes early in order to 'beat the traffic'. Very shrewd move.

Big Name Players

There are some big name players present today, but possibly the biggest is Pim Carel van Wieringen - an impressive 20 letters! But name size aside, Pim (as he shall now be known) just bet 1,700 into a pot of 3,000 on the river of a {6-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{4-Spades}{8-Spades}{K-Spades} board. Opponent Christoph Berti considered making the call, but ultimately opted for the fold. Berti still has his head above the surface, however, with 17,275.

Runnar Rings Around Boeken

Noah Boeken,Runnar Lindepuu
Noah Boeken,Runnar Lindepuu
Noah Boeken raised to 250 from UTG, and was flat-called by Runnar Lindepuu just one seat down. On the {7-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} flop, Boeken bet 450 and Lindepuu, again, flat-called. Come the {K-Clubs} turn, however, Lindepuu was less hospitable, betting 1,000, before pushing all in for 7,300 once Boeken had made it 2,050. With the press lurking over his shoulders like blood thirsty vultures, Boeken made a reluctant fold.

Granberg Dwells, Haas Doesn't Mind

Jeffrey Haas bet 2,400 into a 4,000 pot on the turn of a {10-Clubs} {A-Spades} {5-Hearts} {4-Diamonds} board, eliciting an epic dwell from Christoffer Granberg. Haas patiently waited for Granberg to wrestle with his call-fold-call-fold demons, an expression of perfect serenity on his face. Eventually Granberg folded, and Haas considerately showed him {A-Hearts} {K-Spades}.

Vos Has a Flush

The board read {3-Spades} {7-Spades} {K-Diamonds} {2-Spades} {2-Diamonds} and in the big blind Mark Vos bet 1,500. Bernhard Egger, however, raised to 3,300 with 6,000 behind, putting Mr Vos to a decision.

"No pocket pair?" established Vos. "Do you have a king-high flush? Queen-high flush? Jack-high flush? Ten-high flush?"

He passed.

"I had a flush."
