Marc Goodwin Ends the Day Above Average

[user46298]

Prior to the exciting elimination of Michael Keiner, and right before the herding of the spectators toward the bar signalled the end of play for tonight, Marc Goodwin had been having a mediocre day all round. The last time I spoke to him he said, "The average stack is 16,700. I have 16,700. If you're writing about me and just put '.' it's more exciting than anything that's happened to me all day." He's much happier to be ending the day around 32K, with almost exactly half the field having hit the felt, bar, and town/hotel in that order.

A Scandie Three-Quartering

[user4144]

They may not be well known Stateside, but Torstein Iversen and Andreas Hoivold are familiar names over here in Europe, the latter of whom recently won 300K plus in the Dortmund EPT.

Anyhow, these two Scandinavian pros crossed swords in Stud Eight or Better, but it was Hoivold who came up trumps, check-calling two 1.2K bets on the flop and turn of a {8-Spades}

board before checking down the {6-Hearts}

river.

Possibly fearing he was in trouble, Iversen meekly revealed his {A-Clubs}

only for Hoivold to deal out a good old fashioned three-quartering with {5-Spades}

.
