Perry is Fried, Man.

Looking around the tournament area, it looks as though Perry Friedman has bitten the dust just before the dinner break as when we got back someone else was sitting there.

Danzer Takes One From Boatman

On the turn of a {5-Spades} {10-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts} {8-Clubs} board, Barney Boatman bets 1,000 and George Danzer raises to 2,800 with the Hendon Mobster quickly calling.

The river is the {3-Diamonds} and Boatman checks, Danzer quickly bets 7,500 and like every England/Germany soccer match, the German wins.

(Although at least this time we didn't lose on penalties)

Another Van Crashes

James Van Alstyne had raised preflop and Amnon Filippi called out of the blinds.

The flop was {9-Spades} {2-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds} and Filippi check/raised for pot to 7,600 and Van Alstyne sighed and put his chips in the middle with {A-?} {3-?} {5-?} {K-?}. He was in good shape against Filippi's {5-Clubs} {4-Spades} {3-Spades} {3-Hearts}.

Filippi had to catch an ace or three for a scoop and Van Alstyne didn't need to improve with second pair.

The turn was a {9-?}, but the river was a {3-?} and Filippi made a full house to knock out the HORSE runner-up from yesterday.
