"Good fold" Noooooot!
... says Aleksander Vathne with a cheeky smirk.
The action had started with Ian Frazer, raising it up to 1.6k from early(ish) position and being called not only by Vathne, but also Richie O'Sullivan in the big blind.
After all three players had inevitably checked the flop, Vathne bet out 2.5k on the turn.
O'Sullivan sidestepped out of the way leaving the decision to Frazer, the two time TV winner cracking his neck in Hansen-esque fashion as he contemplates his next move.
"I'm probably in front," announces Fraser. "I saw Willie dwelling up pre-flop, so I reckon he had an Ace."
After his expert analysis in which he deduces that there is only one Ace out there, he folds nonetheless and allows Vathne to snatch the pot.
"Good fold," adds Vathne, seemingly with a serious face but with that distinct sense of "Ha, ha, I bluffed your ass and now I'm going to be annoying and keep you guessing by saying 'good fold' with a slight smile on my face."

Good evening, Miss Moneypenny
You may have heard of the film the Untouchables, but the sequel that went straight to vid was the lesser known "The Unpronouncables" - no Scottish, female violating tongue of Sean Connery or the Waterworlding, box-office sinking, wolf-dancing presence of Kevin Costner, but it did star these fellows:
Csaba Kuremszki
Jan Pruszkowski
Khaitan Abishek
The latter of those three just doubled up Danish player Martin Vallo, all-in on a board with versus . A Ten or an Eight would have sufficed, but neither arrived, and one of our most valuable Unpronouncables was forced to blemish his stack.

Meanwhile Neil Channing had to wait for the cameras to come film his all-in with against the of Matt Larsh. “I haven’t won one of these in a year and a half, so you should be OK,” he predicted, wrongly. A Jack on the turn and he’s still in this thing.

The turn and river the harmless and we’re down another player.

It seems that the security guard on the door of the BetFair players lounge is not a poker fan. The legendary Johnny Chan just went to walk in there and was met with a stern: "Excuse me Sir, you are not allowed in this area."

Shortstack Achilleas Kallakis just moved in under the gun blind. Around 10k in his stack, and a decision for big blind Mads Andersen. He thought for a while before folding, showing K-7. Achilleas turned over the and then slowly the .
It looks like a very small stack has gone unclaimed today, with the chips almost blinded to the felt as Level One draws to a close. The seating plan lists one Gary Conlon as the unfortunate no-show whose WSOPE is also about to come to an end blind.
