"Queen! Queen! Queen!"...

Sherkhan shirks defeat
Sherkhan shirks defeat
... exclaims Norwegian online whiz Andreas Hagen, a lady required to eliminate Sherkhan Farnood.

All-in pre-flop, Farnood was initially behind with {A-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{J-Spades} versus Hagen's {10-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{K-Diamonds} but nipped into the lead when he made two pair on the {A-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{9-Spades} before surviving the {5-Hearts} turn and {3-Spades} river, the Queen Hagen demanded for the straight failing to arrive.

Bubble Trouble For Hayden

Will gets nil
Will gets nil
Will Hayden has been eliminated on the bubble.

Hayden raised to 14,000 pre-flop and was called in two places, Andy Bloch on the button and Dario Alioto in the big blind.

Flop = {6-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}

Hayden moves all-in for 23k and Bloch calls. Alioto folds.

Bloch = {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{3-Spades}
Hayden = {J-Spades}{J-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{K-Spades}

Turn = {A-Clubs}
River = {4-Clubs}

Hayden is out in the 19th place and, as dear Anne Robinson would say, goes home with nothing.

Suckout for Callaghan

Tony G and Dave Callaghan in a pot.

{7-Spades}{8-Hearts}{9-Hearts} flop.

Tony "You wanna put it all in now or on the turn?"

Callaghan goes all in.

Tony calls with {9-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{J-Spades}{Q-Hearts}.

Callgahan has {A-Spades}{6-Spades}XX.

And catches two runners to make a flush.

The G is not happy.

Bubble Play, Anyone?

We are hand for hand now, bubble time.

It should be interesting, most players seem the sort for whom mere cashing is not a primary concern, so maybe it will be a shorter bubble than we are used to?
