A Return to the Top

I vill break you!
I vill break you!
Your current chip leader is early pace setter Janne Lamsa who returns to the top of the poker charts with an eye-watering, eyebrow-raising, gob-smacking and any other facial feature influencing 373,100.

A Few Chippy Chip Counts

As Vicky Coren's table breaks and she ends her brief stint in the company of Dave Colclough, she joins the following line-up:

Mats Gravatin -- 56,200
Marcello Marigliano -- 142,900
Vicky Coren -- 26,900
Matthew McCullough -- 67,000
Jimmy Fricke -- 67,800

Tabatabai Thought To Be Stealing

And who can blame Dominic Kay for re-raising the young player with his {A-Hearts}{7-Hearts} preflop? This time, however, John Tabatabai instacalled all in with {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts} and doubled up to a healthier 62k.

Elsewhere Philip Hilm raced his {A-Diamonds}{Q-Spades} for his tournament life against RW Stain's {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}, spiking on the flop and staying in his seat, while knocking his opponent back to an uncomfortable stack.

Table Kay in Full:

Dominic Kay -- 128,200
Andreas Bergren -- 27,300
Krzyzstof Gluszko -- 45,400
James Keys -- 146,000
Jon Turner -- 78,000
John Tabatabai -- 62,000
Jani Sointula -- 40,100

Over at the featured TV table, Will Durkee clashed with Patrik Antonius. The young American won their first battle and knocked Antonius out of the top spot.

I picked up the action on the turn. The board read {Q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{6-Spades}{K-Spades}. Will Durkee bet the pot, Patrik Antonius raised all in, and Dukee quickly called.

Durkee: {J-Hearts}{9-Hearts}
Antonius: {Q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}

Durkee was ahead with a straight, while Antonius had two pair. The river was the {9-Spades} and Durkee's straight held up. He doubled up against Antinus and increased his stack to over 200,000. Antonius slipped to 240,000 losing the chiplead in the process.

James Keys Doubles Through Andreas Bergren

Andreas Bergren opened the pot, and James Keys moved all in for 52,000 from the button.

"What, do you have kings?" wondered Bergren aloud as he mulled his decision, finally deciding to call.

"I think we're racing" said Keys as he turned over his {5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}. Indeed they were, with Bergren tabling {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}.

The flop was {Q-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}, the turn was the {J-Hearts} and the river was the {Q-Hearts}, with Keys dragging the massive pot and doubling up to over 110,000. Bergren was left with 33,000.

Norman: {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades}
Durkee: {A-Hearts}{Q-Spades}

The flop was {A-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} and Durkee took the lead. The turn was the {9-Clubs} and the river was the {5-Hearts}. Norman headed to the rail, while Durkee increased his stack to 102,000.

Everyone Apart From Fronda Doubles Up When All In

Included in this list: Marco Traniello (with Queens, all in preflop against A-6), and Peter Murphy. It took a bit of sweating on behalf of Murphy, though, as he faced a bet out on the river from Theo Jorgensen which effectively set him in.

The board: {6-Spades}{A-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{5-Hearts}. Peter eventually called - 33,300 - with {K-Hearts}{K-Clubs}. It was good against Jorgensen's {J-Spades}{J-Hearts}.

Antonius 1, Hansen 0

Over at the featured TV table, the top two chipleaders tangled in a their first pot. Gus Hansen raised 5,000 from the cut off. Patrik Antonius called from the button. They were heads-up. The flop was {A-Spades}{Q-Spades}{2-Spades}. Hansen fired out 5,600 and Antonius called. The turn was the {Q-Diamonds}. Hansen bet 10,200. Antonius went into the tank. The table had been very chatty until this hand. Everyone went silent. Anotnius announced, "I raise." He tossed out a bet of 42,000. Hansen went into the tank for four minutes. One of the players not in the hand called a clock on Hansen. Jack Effel gave him one minute. Hansen used the entire time. Then Effel started counting down from 10 to 1. Hansen could not make a decision and his time ran out. His hand was killed and Antonius won the pot worth over 32,000.

Antonius increased his stack to 330,000. Snoopy's model friend took over the chiplead.

Thistle Exits

"Lost one," calls the dealer, the unfortunate man being Mark 'The Thistle' McCluskey who was short-stacked coming into Day 3, but had a notable run nonetheless.

And on that note, they break up the table.
