Thor Hansen's Stack Grows

With the board showing {10-Clubs}{K-Spades}{K-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} Saro Getzoyan bet out and, when Thor Hansen called, immediately mucked his cards. Hansen never showed his own hand so we don't know what he had, but what we do know is that after falling short on chips early on Thor Hansen is now very close to the chip lead.

Saro Getzoyan Doubles Up Through Geoff Sanford

Before the flop Saro Getzoyan raised and Geoff Sanford re-raised to 90K. After Saro called they saw a flop of {5-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} and Getzoyan check-raised Sanford and was called. The {Q-Diamonds} fell on the turn, Getzoyan bet and was called, and when the {2-Spades} hit on the river Saro through in his last 5K.

Getzoyan turned over {A-Hearts}{8-Spades} and the pair of Eights he flopped were good enough to keep him alive in the today's event.

Geoff Sanford Double Up Through Thor Hansen

After Thor Hansen called Geoff Sanford's preflop raise the two saw a {4-Hearts}{A-Hearts}{7-Clubs} flop. Sanford bet, Hansen raised and Sanford called. The turn was the {J-Spades} and this time when Hansen bet, Sanford bet nearly the rest of his chips. Hansen took a long while to decide what to do. He stacked and re-stacked his chips over and over, checking his cards and frowning at the board.

Finally he raised the last of Sanford's chips and Sanford showed {K-Clubs}{J-Hearts} for the pair on the turn. Hansen nodded grimly as he turned over the {6-Clubs}{7-Hearts}, and when the {10-Diamonds} fell on the river Geoff Sanford doubled up and stayed alive.

Thor Hansen Eliminated in Fourth Place

After losing the that big hand to Geoff Sanborn, two-time WSOP bracelet winner Thor Hansen re-raised all-in from the big blind against Saro Getzoyan. Hansen had the lead with {A-Spades}{3-Diamonds} vs. {J-Hearts}{7-Spades}, but the {7-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{6-Clubs} flop gave Getzoyan the lead. Hansen picked up a wheel draw when the {2-Clubs} turned, but the river was the {7-Hearts} and Getzoyan won with trip sevens. Thor Hansen wins $93,008 for finishing in fourth place.

Geoff Sanford Triples Up

After William Thorsson raised and Saro Getzoyan called, Geoff Sanford reraised, leaving him with just 60,000 behind. The other two players called and they saw a flop of {3-Hearts}{9-Spades}{10-Hearts}. Saro checked and Sanford bet 40K, only to be raised by Thorsson. Getzoyan called and Sanford tossed in his last 20,000.

Thorsson and Getzoyan checked down the {5-Hearts} on the turn and the {K-Hearts} on the river. Saro turned over {J-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} but Sanford had the overpair in {Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs}. Thorsson couldn't beat that and Sanford boosted his stack to 500K.
