The Great Dane could not Sustain (His chips)

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Gus Hansen is out! Despite taking an early lead in this he has manage to redistribute it to the rest of his table. No idea of the hand because there were about 15 Scandanavian rail birds between me and the table.

He left, shaking his head and proclaiming 'I'm so silly'.

Todd Brunson is on his Todd

Sorry for the headline, 'On your Todd' is another English expression meaning by yourself.

I digress.

Todd Brunson has busted out. Doyle has not.

Doyle Brunson is Todd Brunson's father.

In case you didn't know.

The Zach Stack Takes A Hit

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Early pace setter Simon Zach has taken a hit courtesy of Norway's resident poker menace, Andreas Hagen.

With the board reading {9-Spades}

and the pot about 11k thick, Hagen was facing a 10k bet from Zach for what was virtually his tournament life.

After a lengthy session in the think tank, the Scandinavian pro confidently slid in his chips, making it just one or two thousand extra.

Simon Zach grimaced slightly, clearly finding the call about as alluring as Jabba the Hutt in a bikini. However, although he only held one pair with {8-Clubs}

in the hole, he had plenty of outs against Hagen's {Q-Diamonds}

, all of which failed to arrive on the blank {9-Hearts}

turn.

Hagen showed no emotion as his Pocket Rockets were enough to win a nice chunky pot and shoot him to circa 30-35k in chips.
