Van der Marel Forced to Fold

Nicholas Van der Marel raised to a very small 475 in early position and got himself called by Wilfried Brunelle in the cutoff.

A flop: {A-Clubs} {4-Hearts} {9-Diamonds}

Van der Marel bet 525, and again Brunelle called.

A turn: {4-Spades}

Not giving up just yet, Van der Marel bet another 1,100; once more, Brunelle called.

The river: {J-Diamonds}

Van der Marel paused, riffling chips, before checking. An expressionless Brunelle bet 3,000, and after another moment's thought Van der Marel gave it up. He's still a big stack, though, with around 32,000.

Hit in the Face by the Dekk-ers

Franciscus Dekkers
Franciscus Dekkers
It looked as though Franciscus Dekkers had raised it up from the cut-off and been called by Vladislav Bakalov in the small blind. Either way, the two players reached the turn of a {7-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} board where Bakalov's leading bet of 1,400 was raised to 3,400 by Dekkers. Bakalov called.

On the {Q-Spades} river, Bakalov checked, and Dekkers moved all in for 6,275.

As Bakalov procrastinated, I couldn't help but notice their opposing postures, Dekkers upright with his arms folded whilst Bakalov sat sideways in his chair, his hand riffling through his chips as if he didn't have a care in the world.

Well, he does now, because after asking for a count of the pot (10,400 - although I was under the impression the chips could only be spread), Bakalov made the call, only to be shown a triumphant {A-Hearts}{2-Spades}.

Bakalov is down to 11,500.

G is for Gone

Busted
Busted
We are down to exactly no Guogas as to much hilarity all round the table, at least after the event, Tony G is OUT.

He raised in the cutoff and Erich Kollmann reraised from the button. Call.

Flop: {K-Hearts} {10-Hearts} {5-Hearts}

The G man pushed for 6,000, Kollman called, and the two gentlemen were on their backs.

G: {K-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds}
Kollmann: {A-Hearts} {7-?}

Turn: {A-Diamonds} -- ouch

River: {6-Diamonds}

Mr G is down to zero, Mr Kollmann is up to 35,000, and everyone else at the table seems to be having a great time.

Do a Runnar

Runnar Lindepuu moved all in on the turn of an {A-Spades} {8-Clubs} {3-Spades} {Q-Clubs} board, forcing Noah Boeken to fold and picking up the 6,500 pot in the process.

Lindepuu: 17,500
Boeken: 20,000

Table 5 Chip Counts

Seat 2: Samuel Monigadon -- 8,325
Seat 3: Anders Willem Larsen -- 15,600
Seat 4: Gabor Szollosy -- 13,300
Seat 5: Dennis Uhrenholt -- 8,125
Seat 6: Mikael Johansson -- 45,000
Seat 7: Liv Boeree -- 11,575
Seat 8: Michael Pesek -- 11,700
Seat 9: Markus Golser -- 10,175

Oh Noah! Boeken Busts

Boeken's blue
Boeken's blue
A massive three-way all in confrontation has deprived us of the company of both Noah Boeken and Wojciech Kaminski for the rest of the tournament, and has propelled Runnar Lindepuu up into the rarefied cool air of the big stacks.

The details of who got their chips in first are hazy, but come the turn all three were on their backs like so:

Board: {6-Spades} {6-Hearts} {A-Diamonds} {K-Clubs}

Kaminski: {A-Clubs} {8-Diamonds}
Boeken: {6-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds}
Lindepuu: {K-Hearts} {6-Clubs}

River: a largely irrelevant {8-Spades}

Boeken left pretty much as soon as he'd seen Lindepuu's hand, but Kaminski sat there for a while until the TD asked him to leave so a new player could sit in his seat.

Lindepuu is up to around 47,000.
