Hansen vs Tabatabai

[user3511]

Being out of position against Gus Hansen is something of a nightmare to most players, but John Tabatabai has positivley thrived on it. He has taken pot after pot from the Great Dane and done his fair share of stealing. Gus still has plenty of chips though, so it could still end in fireworks for one of these two players.

Steve van Zadelhoff is Eliminated by Magnus Persson in 11th (41,630)

[user4144]

The Hoff is off!

"All in and a call," is the cry, and as I race over to the rail, the featured table does indeed have an all-in confrontation, The Hoff de Steve all in for 200-250k in the small blind with {A-Clubs}

, racing against under-the-gunner Magnus Persson and his {J-Clubs}

.

As seems to be the trend at the moment, the board was clinical and it was of no suprise to hear the announcer spout out the words, "drawing dead" by the turn.

{9-Spades}

Cards Are Back in the Air

[user24788]

The disco (where the featured TV table is located) is jam-packed with spectators, railbirds, media, staff, and other random folks. The final ten players are here and action will continue until we are down to nine players.

Magnus Persson is the chipleader with 1,300,000. He holds a slight lead over Johannes Korsar in second place with 1,200,000.

All In and a Fold

[user24788]

On the first hand, action folded to Matt McCullough who moved all in from his small blind. Gus Hansen went into the tank for four minutes before he folded his big blind. The camera crew did not see his cards, and they asked him to flash them again to the hole cam.

"I don't want you guys to see these f*****g cards!" joked Gus.

The Railbirds

[user24788]

John Tabatabai has many fans in the audience

John Tabatabai won an uncontested pot. He raised preflop and did not get any callers. Tabatabai's boisterous railbirds stood up and chanted something indecipherable. I wonder if any of them will clash with James Keys' rowdy and drunken fans?

A Gus Flop

[user4144]

No big hands as of yet, the last encounter seeing Gus' 42k preflop raise being called in the big blind by Oyvind; the Great Dane continued betting the {2-Diamonds}

for 60k to take the pot.

If I were Oyviin and had aces, I still wouldn't be 100 percent sure I was ahead.

Where Did They All Come From?

[user4144]

For the majority of the day, the featured table has attracted little in the way of spectators, but now we've reached the final 10, they've arrived in hordes and have absolutely swamped the room -- it's more packed than a magician's hat!

But where did they all come from? Perhaps it's stumble-out-of-the-pub time, or maybe it's simply the fact that King Gus has brought his hysterical fans along, but either way, there's certainly a tad more electricity in the air causing the tension to increase tenfold.

Two Danes

[user24788]

Gus Hansen opened up for a raise UTG for 42,000. Theo Jorgensen reraised to 132,000. Everyone folded back to Hansen. He went into the tank for three minutes before he eventually folded. Jorgensen is also from Copenhagen, Denmark.

Gus Hansen Eliminated in 10th Place (£41,630)

[user24788]

Annette_15 raised to 33,000. Matthew McCullough reraised to 150,000. Gus Hansen moved all in for 586,000. Annette_15 folded. McCullough quickly called. He had Hansen covered.

McCullough: {K-Spades}

Hansen:

McCullough was ahead with kings. The flop was {A-Diamonds}

. The turn was the {9-Spades}

and the river was the {6-Clubs}

. Gus Hansen's hand could not improve and The Great Dane bubbled off the final table in 10th place. Hansen won £41,630 for 10th place.

With Hansen's elimination, the final table of nine players is set. Stay tuned for official chip counts.
