Marcel Luske Eliminated

Throwing in the, er, cards
Throwing in the, er, cards
Rumour has it that Marcel Luske limped UTG and Runnar Lindepuu made up the small blind, but nevertheless, when I joined the action, the two players were going raise crazy on a {J-Spades}{9-Clubs}{2-Spades} flop with Luske making the final call for a 230,000 pot.

Luske = {J-Hearts}{10-Clubs}
Lindepuu = {J-Clubs}{2-Clubs}

Turn = {A-Diamonds}
River = {4-Hearts}

"Good luck, everyone" wished a disappointed, but still smiling Luske upon departure.

Christian Fischbacher Eliminated

Christian Fischbacher, short after doubling up Colin Fortey, was all in for his tournament life.

Fischbacher: {9-Hearts} {9-Spades}
Otto Göschl: {A-Spades} {J-Spades}

Exasperation for Fischbacher, who got up to leave as soon as the flop came down.

Board: {5-Spades} {K-Spades} {7-Spades} {6-Hearts} {Q-Spades}

Stephan Kernig Doubles Through

Stephan Kernig has just doubled through, thanks to Vladislav Bakalov.

"What have you got?" asked Bakalov as he mulled from the small blind, much to the amusement of the rest of the table.

His direct questioning fell on deaf ears, however, as Kernig, who had pushed in from the button, simply responded with a smile.

"Call!" announced Bakalov abruptly.

As Kernig tabled {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}, Bakalov dropped his head in his hands and meekly revealed {9-Spades}{9-Hearts}. "Yes!" exclaimed a jubilant Kernig, perhaps slightly premature in his celebrations.

But ultimately, he was justified in his joy as the board came {8-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}{A-Clubs} to see his stack increase two fold and leave Bakalov with a now severely depleted stack.

Cheeky Charly

Charly Le Guillou is enjoying more doubles than a night out with Dana. At the moment his latest conquest is Marcel Luske, the Flying Dutchman is looking to avoid one of six outs with {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts} versus {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}.

A {6-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} board favoured the short-stack, though, and Le Guillou doubled through. Luske, meanwhile, drops down to 100,000.

"How can I be lucky if I lose with the best hand?" concluded Luske in response to an earlier jibe.
