Cocktails to Tim Vance's Table

[user46392]

"COCKTAILS!!!" came the unmistakable voice of Tim Vance. That's a man who really, really needs a drink. He seems to have dropped right down to 6,500 -- the actual circumstances of this are a little hazy, but he informs us that it was a single enormous hand that did the damage...

Jelinek Feeling Wobbly

[user46392]

"Yeah, I've got a nice, easy table," lied Steve Jelinek at the break. He apparently got straight off the plane and immediately went to play the PLO 8 the other day, and promptly managed to make the final table, finishing sixth. Fine work.

For this tournament, though, he's having a rather tough time -- his table currently features Andy Bloch, Daniel Negreanu, David Sklansky who wrote the book on this game, and Scott Bohlman who recently came third in the O8.

"Oh well," he said, "At least it means I won't have played any No Limit Hold'em tournaments before the main event."

Krause Calls, Mucks

[user46392]

Andreas Krause is down to 8,000 after betting out on fourth street and getting called in two spots, then calling bets on fifth, sixth and seventh (the third player dropped out on fifth street). "Flush," announced his opponent, and Krause took a moment to stare forlornly at the his down cards before mucking.

Krause: {2-Diamonds}

(mucked)
Mr. Winner: {Q-Hearts}

Negreanu Gets Lucky with Two Players at Once

[user46392]

Daniel Negreanu is up to 21,300 after knocking out two poker-playing birds with one sick stone.

One all-in unfortunate had two pair, the other had a flush -- but Negreanu had a higher flush and the low to knock them both to the rail with nothing.
