Timoshenko Versus Bansi

[user4144]

Praz Bansi bet 30,000 into a pot of around 50,000 with a board of {8-Spades}

. Yevgeniy Timoshenko, as calm and calculated as ever, made the call. On the {10-Spades}

turn, Bansi opted to check, which was enough to encourage Timoshenko into a bet of 56,000. Bansi made a reluctant fold.

These two seem to be crossing swords constantly at the moment. A monster pot could be on the horizon.

Happy Birthday, Arnaud

[user46392]

Arnaud Mattern, who is in danger of missing his own birthday party tonight by virtue of still being in this (it's ok, that's making the bloggers feel better about having to work through the party too), is having a nice, relaxing morning.

He raised to 15,000 in early position and James Akenhead called from the button to see a {2-Diamonds}

flop. Mattern bet out 22,000 and Akenhead raised to 56,000 -- but Mattern sipped nonchalantly at a cappuccino and then reraised to 83,000. Akenhead looked a bit ill (although it could just be all the early mornings) and folded, defeated.

Akenhead's down to 115,000.

Setback for Hawrilenko

[user4144]

Start of day chip leader has taken a hit on the feature table. His count currently reads 618,000.

Masterclass

[user4144]

My assumption would be that all the chips went in preflop, but either way, Men 'The Master' Nguyen has doubled through to just over the 100,000 mark thanks to an encounter with Oyvind Riisem, {A-?}

out-gunning {A-?}

on a jack high board. Rissem down to 90,000.

Kabbaj Too Cool

[user46392]

Arriving late today to the felt, Mr John Kabbaj.

He is here now, though. Shame, looked as though table neighbour Daniel Negreanu was rather enjoying dipping into his stack to pick out blinds and antes and the like.

Bansi Takes One Down

[user4144]

Praz Bansi raised to 14,500 preflop and Yevgeniy Timoshenko made the call. On a {8-Hearts}

flop, Bansi bet 25,000 and Timoshenko made the fold.

Devilfish Kicked Out by Sheringham (35th Place, £21,142)

[user46392]

We looked up from our laptops to find Devilfish all in on the main feature table.

Devilfish: {K-Spades}

Teddy Sheringham: {A-Spades}

Board:

The footballing legend in this manner knocked out the poker legend. We wonder how Devilfish would do playing football. Either way, he's gone, and takes home £21,142 for his trouble.

Riisem Pushes

[user4144]

With players taking it in turns to pick up pots preflop, Eric Liu raised to 15,000 from under the gun and Oyvind Riisem deep reached for virtually all his chips from the blinds. Liu quickly folded.

A hand previous, Jason Mercier raised to 12,000, only for Peter Gould to bump it up to 48,000. Mercier let it go.

Docherty Down in 36th Place (£21,142)

[user46392]

David Docherty, who did well to survive the bubble last night, open-shoved in early position and got called by Praz Bansi.

A clinical affair:

Docherty: {A-Clubs}

Bansi:

Board:

Thus the young Scotsman is bust and his devoted mother and friends at the rail can have an early night for a change, as Docherty claims his second cash of this WSOPE. We suspect we'll be seeing more of Mr. Docherty in the future.
