2008 World Series of Poker Europe
Event 3 - £5,000 Pot Limit Omaha
Day: 2
Dalby Trips Up Friberg
Dalby turned up for trip queens and Friberg mucked.
Neil Channing Eliminated in 11th Place (£18,562)
But none of Channing's outs arrived, the turn followed by the river, merely giving his foe a stronger two pair than he held previously. "Alright," said Channing in defeat. "Well played."
"You can't bluff anyone under the age of 22," added Max Pescatori in the aftermath.
"Yeah, I should have known from the Beevers hand," concluded Channing.
There will now be one last redraw with the remaining 10 players combining to form one table.

Ilkka Koskinen Eliminated in 10th Place (£18,562)
Koskinen:
Jorgensen:
Jorgensen turned top two pair while Koskinen turned the jack-high straight and also had a flush redraw. The river was a disastrous , boating up Jorgensen and sending Koskinen to the rail as our final table bubble boy.
