Action Jeff Eliminated by a Vaswani Slow Roll

[user24788]

Online whiz Jeff "ActionJeff" Garza had a tough draw. He was seated at the featured TV table which included Jen Harman, Ram Vaswani, and Gus Hansen. He just busted out of the main event.

ActionJeff held {K-Diamonds}

-Qx. He raised 1,800. Ram vaswani called. The flop was {Q-Diamonds}

. ActionJeff fired out 4,000. Vaswani raised to 9,000 and ActionJeff moved all in for about 40,000.

Vaswani went into the tank and said, "I guess I have to call."

Then Vaswani tabled his cards... he had flopped the nut flush. The Hendon Mob's Vaswani demonstrated an old-fashioned slow roll for the young American. ActionJeff's hand did not improve on the turn or river and headed to the rail.

The Chair of Death: Table 6, Seat 4

[user25067]

Every person who has dared to sit in this seat has quickly gone busto from the tournament. First it was Ang Leng, then Dean Sanders, and now Markku Aho can be added to the list. Huseyin Yilmaz was the executioner once again, with his {Q-Diamonds}

over Aho's {9-Hearts}

.

on the flop and the chair of death claimed it's third victim.

Thor Hansen was just moved into that seat-- we'll see how he fares...

Manuel Palenca Eliminated

[user46298]

Making a stand preflop for his just-under-15k with {K-Diamonds}

, he found big blind Philip Hilm going into the tank, eventually calling with the {10-Spades}

. He watched the board come out with the wrong paint only: {4-Spades}

and hastily made his exit.

Spanish Inquisition

[user4144]

Oscar Blanco, who is being heavily supported on the rail by the enigmatic Santiago Torres, is down to a paltry 11.5k after being pushed off a {J-Spades}

board by current chip leader Janne Lamsa.

With 15-20k in the pot, Lamsa bet out 11.5k which triggered Oscar dipping into the think tank, pitching up tent and not showing his face for a good few minutes. In fact, I could have read 'War and Peace' in the time he took to make his decision.

In the end, he folded, but he'll be searching for a double-up soon.

"Why doesn't anyone find my voice sexy?" Asks the Fossilman

[user3511]

There is quite a lot of chatter now at Greg Raymers table, now they are talking about accents. Erick Lindgren has said he loves the Irish accent, Raymer replies:

"Everyone says they love the British accent and the Irish accent, I've never heard anyone say they like the American accent, why is that?"

"I like Hoyt's accent" Vicky Coren replies.

Thats what's going on at that table.

Deborah Jones Eliminated

[user25067]

Sergey Rybanchenko opened for 1,800 and David 'Devilfish" Ulliott re-raised to 5,000. Beth Shak paused and said, "Why'd you have to raise to 5,000-- I really wanted to play this hand!" before releasing it, and Deborah Jones moved all in for her remaining 3,700 from the big blind. Rybachenko called.

The flop was {10-Diamonds}

.

"Oh my gawwwwd," cawed Shak.

"You can't do that. You're not supposed to say anything!" warned the Devilfish.

"I'm not saying anything!" Shak shot back.

Rybachenko and Devilfish checked the flop, as well as the {6-Diamonds}
