Carl Hostrup Moves and Moves

Immediately after he was moved to a table upstairs, unpredictable Dane Carl Hostrup got pretty active with his short stack. All in preflop twice in two hands -- the first over a Timoshenko preflop raise (which was discarded quicker than an empty crisp packet) - but the second over a John Kabbaj preflop reraise. Denis O'Mahoney had made it 1,100 to go, raised to 3,900 by Kabbaj -- with a smile Hostrup's chips sallied forth again. O'Mahoney gurned a little bit and then passed, but Kabbaj called -- only for them to show down {A-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds} and {A-Hearts} {K-Clubs} respectively. Chop chop.
