A resplendent Boeken
Two double ups from two separate tables.
The first comes from table 1 and involves popular Dutch player Noah Boeken. Entering a raising war with neighbor Alex Triner, he found himself all in with A-K versus 8-8. An A-K-Q flop was enough to snatch victory.
Second up is Casey Coleman. He raised it up preflop, bet a flop, checked a turn and called a 16,000 bet on the river. Coleman had , Damian Artt flipped . Coleman now on 83,000.
Anthony Nowalany raised utg, called by David Orvis on the button and Jason Young on the big blind. Young bet out 5,000 on the flop and Nowalany called him; Orvis folded. The turn was the and Young bet out 6,200. Nowalany raised to 15,000. Young, meaning business, went all in for 45,000, forcing Nowalany to fold.
Perhaps the marathon battle of the round prior finally caught up with Marco Mills, or maybe it was just one of those unavoidable encounters, but either way, Mills is done and dusted, his no match for Sean Brandon's on a board, all in preflop.
Michael Sica raises to 3,400 utg, and to his immediate left, Anthony Roux calls. It folds around to Sergey Rybachenko on the big blind, who raises enough to put both his opponents all in. Sica folds, but Roux calls.
Forget Marcel Luske, the real Flying Dutchman is Peter Dalhuijsen, especially if his current form, and resulting accruing of chips, are anything to go by.
After eliminating Greg Gill just a few hands prior, Dalhuijsen went on to add another notch to his poker bedpost, Steve Pestal becoming the latest victim.
With the board reading , Pestal check-raised Dalhuijsen's 5,000 bet to 20,000 before calling a subsequent all-in push for 45,000.
As Pestal was shown , he would have been in confident mood, his pocket deuces for a flopped set looking good for the win. However, the final card soon turned his smile upside down, the on the river fulfilling the Dutchman's backdoor straight and giving him a commanding chip lead.
Paul Ferner, down to 18,500, reraised all in from the cutoff to TJ Slifka's utg raise. He was holding a very optimistic to Slifka's , but duly hit the board to double up to around 40,000.
Donald Carlton has departed the tournament, the cause of his demise largely a gigantic coinflip.
David Orvis raised to 3,600 and Anthony Nowalany made it 12,200. Not to be outdone, Carlton made it all in for 58,000; Orvis called all in for 57,000 and Nowalany got out of the way.

Down to a twice-the-ante 1,000 or so, Carlton went all in from the small blind with two callers. Jason Young took the pot with A-6 on a Q-J-A-10-10 board, Carlton and the other player both mucked, and Carlton made his way to the cash desk.
The action keeps on coming, the latest player to hit the deck being Clint Schafer. A-Q looked momentarily alluring, but not in the face of Thomas West's aces. T-9-4-7-2 board provided no miracles.
