Spare Some Change?

[user46392]

The lovely Ms Vanessa Rousso has been spotted tipping the waitresses -- in small change. Are there perhaps some cash flow problems for the young poker starlet? Or are pockets full of small coinage in style?

Slotboom Doubles Up

[user46392]

Dutch wraparound shades enthusiast Rolf Slotboom is on a commanding 7,500, after finding himself all in on a queen-high flop holding pocket aces. The other guy was holding A-Q, and is no more.

Nam Le Crippled

[user4144]

Nam Le is down to just 500 in chips after his pocket rockets were busted by Jonas "Nebuchad" Danielsson's {9-Hearts}

on a

board. All the chips went in on the turn, but little did Le know that he was beaten in two spots, an unknown player all in on the flop with {10-Clubs}

and taking the main pot. Danielsson snapped up the side pot, however, and is currently on 3,600.

Chainsaw Chopped Down

[user4144]

Allen 'Chainsaw' Kessler (I daren't ask how he accrued that moniker) has been eliminated from today's event. He got it in with {A-?}

on a

board, but was out-gunned by a flush draw which hit on the {3-Spades}

river.

Evdakov Outdraw

[user46392]

Nikolay Evdakov is up to 10,500 after eliminating a player in the ugliest of manners. Holding A-K against his all-in opponent's pocket aces on a king-high flop, things weren't looking good for Evdakov -- until he spiked another king on the river to send his outdrawn opponent to the rail.
