They Came, They Drank, They Cheered a Bit and They Went Home
Today as predicted, they sat down, started drinking, cheered their man, he pushed all in and now they are all on their way home.
The £60,000 won by Keys may seem great, but he really needed to come at least 3rd to cover their bar tab.

Check to John who bets 75,000. Oyvind raises 125,000 more and takes it down.
Early Nerves?
Playing at the final table of the WSOPE can even be more nerve-racking. Scandinavians are known for keeping their cool at the tables. But deep down inside, I'm sure that everyone is a little bit rattled. After all, they are playing for £1,000,000 and a bracelet.
If I had to give an edge to any of the final table players, it has to be Theo Jorgensen. Not only is he the oldest player at the table (at a whopping 35 years young), he has experience playing in big events. He made the final TV table of the EPT Scandinavian Open at the Casino Copenhagen, in his hometown of Copenhagen. He took 4th place there. He also made the final table at the WSOP in Las Vegas this summer for the $5,000 World Championship Seven Card Stud. He took 5th in that event. His final table featured Phil Ivey, Ted Lawson, Marco Traniello and eventual winner Chris Reslock.
Jorgensen has played with the big boys. He doesn't have the biggest stack, but his experience and maturity gives him an extra edge.
Massuese Trouble
Also, only the back row of the crowd if available to them, because if they were to work in between rows, then they would inevitably get in the way of the people seated behind. If it was me, however, I certainly wouldn't be complaining about the view.
I'm a charitable chap, so if it's still slow by the break, I shall offer my body and its muscular physique. I've showered and everything!

Jorgenson is Depressed
What is it like to be oldest player at the table??
"Depressing"
Have you ever gone deep in a WSOP event before?
"Yes, that was also depressing"
Cheer up Theo, they are giving out free muffins in the players lounge.
