Tickled Pink

Pinky & the Brain
Pinky & the Brain
Your current chip leader is Magnus Persson with 1,181,000 in chips.

Leading the remaining 12 players with his monster stack, Magnus is quite literally tickled pink, his bright pink T-shirt among the black attire of his table mates making him look like Liberace at a Hell's Angels convention.

Yeah Baby!

Riisem puts Lechich all in from the small blind, Lechich calls.

Riisem: {A-Clubs}{3-Spades}
Lechich: {A-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}

"Yeah Baby! No Three!" Lechich cries.

{2-Clubs}{4-Spades}{Q-Spades}

"oooooooooh" from the rail, recognising the straight draw.

"Come on Baby, no three no five!" from Lechich

Turn: {4-Diamonds}

"Come on Baby" he cries, about 3 inches away from the river card.

River: {8-Diamonds}

"Yeah Baby!

Lechich Doubles Up

Tabatabai Tosses Tens

Hansen: intense
Hansen: intense
Gus Hansen has moved all in for bucketloads of chips on the flop so far today three times, and it's three for three "no call" from his deepstacked opponents. This hand saw Hansen raising preflop to 33k, called by Oyvind Riisem. Big blind John Tabatabai then re-raised to 120k. Hansen thought for a minute and called, Riisem passed immediately.

Flop: {9-Spades}{5-Spades}{4-Hearts} Now Tabatabai checked, and Gus Hansen announced that he was all in (he covered his young opponent, who had around 400k left). While Tabatabai thought for five minutes, his opponent stared at a fixed point on the table in front of him and remained completely motionless. "Can I show a card?" asked John. "Not without receiving a penalty. The answer is no."

Eventually he passed, showing {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}; Hansen declined to show, and raked in the pot.

The Great Dane in Great Shape to win a Bracelet

Gus Hansen
Gus Hansen
After a stalemate yesterday with his early chip lead, Gus Hansen has made up for lost time. He has been pretty quiet for the first level today but now is taking charge of the table, playing every hand and putting players to a decision for all their chips.

Most recently he check raised James Keys all in, Keys welled up for a very long time on a {Q-Spades}{K-Spades}{9-Clubs} flop and eventually folded. Gus really is terrifying with chips.

The BetFair Proposal.....

In addition to adding £56,000 to the prizepool, BetFair also have a special bonus for their Team members. Any Team Betfair member that makes the final table of the tournament will receive a sponsoship deal for entry into the next 3 years of the WSOPE. Assuming the buyin stays the same, that is a total of £30,000.

There are currently 13 players remaining in the tournament with one table of 6 and one of 7. The tournament has been played 9 handed, but the two tables will merge into one with 10 players remaining in the tournament. Play will then continue until one player is eliminated and the final 9 players will return for the televised final table tomorrow.

There are a number of Team BetFair players still in, and the question is being asked - what constitutes the final table for the purposes of the BetFair offer?
