Event 3 - £5,000 Pot Limit Omaha
Day: 2
Williamson Doubles from Micro-Stack to Short Stack
Jani Vilmunen raised, and then called the push for 40,000 total from Williamson in the small blind.
"I got a five in this hand," said a cheerful Williamson. "It's a dangler, though. I love danglers."
Ignoring Williamson's alleged love of danglers, the cards were on their backs.

The dangler did its good work to give Williamson trips, and we continue ten-handed. Just in time, too -- Williamson has spent literally all day trying to get Sandra Naujoks to talk, and just now she was spotted not exactly speaking per se, but at least laughing at something he said.
Naujoks is now our short stack.
Stack Sizes Stay Similar
No, wait, I hear clapping...
Same Again, But Different
This time however, it was Ville Haavisto in the small blind who bet out, to the tune of 27,000. Everyone folded.
Little Happening In Terms of Chip Movement, Interesting Hands
Four people limped in and the big blind checked. They saw an flop. The action very, very slowly checked around to the player in position, each player very carefully considering all of his or her options, before deciding to check. The player in position made a small bet, and everyone else folded.
Please insert names as you will. There's been a few like that.
They all Want to Make the Final Final
Still, Roberto Romanello managed to get 30k from Jani Vilmunen by raising out of the big blind and then betting him off a flop.
Also Dan Hindin is doing a good job of rebuilding his stack, the latest chunk coming from Jeff Kimber who called his 42k preflop but passed when he moved all in for 54k on the flop.

"Queen-six?" asked Boatman, "What was the rest of your hand?"
"I'm on tilt, give me a break," replied Hindin.

Bjorin Busted in 11th (£14,900)
The turn was the . Again, check from Bjorin, and immediately Boatman set him in. He made the call with a straight drawy vs. Boatman's set of Aces ( ). The river bricked with the and the quiet yet popular seeming Mr. Bjorin shook the hands of his ex-table and headed out.
