Johannes Strassman has been knocked about from pillar to post today.
His fell down the leaderboard has been extreme...coming in as one of the big stacks with 442k, he was moments ago pushing all-in for his last 94k just to pick up the blinds. He managed to persuade Marcin Horecki to fold though and pads his stack to over 100k, even if it is still a shadow of its former self...

What Can Liu Do?
After an amazing start to the day, Eric Liu is in freefall at the moment and the sole architect of this is his nemesis, Michael Tureniec!
Yet another hand of pwnage occurred when Tureniec popped it up to 26k, getting called by Philippe D'Auteuil in middle position. Eric Liu now swung the hammer hard, re-popping it another 57k.
If he thought this would persuade the Swede to lay his hand down though, he couldn't have been more wrong as Tureniec announced "ALL-IN!" and pushed his stack over the line.
Eric instantly mucked, suggesting he had just been pulling off a squeeze move without a hand and once again he was bested by his Swedish foe. He must be getting sick of him by now!

Play has now just restarted, an early double for Frode Gjesdal through Eric Liu but nothing else so far.

Christopher Wolters has been on life support for some time now and he made his move with the pretty looking
, only to run headfirst into Marcin Horecki's big slick,
.
His tournament life on the line, the Canadian Wolters was looking dead in the water going ot the flop.
The flop fell
though, a great flop for Wolters, giving him some flush outs to get out of the hole...
The turn
was met with a sigh from Horecki as he saw the pot beginning to go the wrong way...
"All Horecki needs is a King on the river that's not a heart!" was John Duthie's excited, but a tad inaccurate commentary at this point, proven as the
fell on the river, but with two pair Queens and Kings Wolters had completed the outdraw to double through to 160k+ whilst a rueful looking Horecki was now left short, crippled and in big trouble...
Needing a double up, Horecki went for the throat with
, only for his nemesis Wolters to make the call with
and it looked like he was about to deliver the deathblow to Horecki over the span of just a few hands.
The flop fell an interesting
to give the Pole some hope in the form of a gutshot. The turn was a very interesting
, adding a flush draw to his chances, as well as converting his gutshot straight draw to an open ended...
"What is going on at this table!" a bemused Wolters pondered outloud...
The river was the
! Both the straight and the flush draw hit, meaning Horecki had his revenge and the Pole, though still short, is back in the game at least temporarily...

Here is a large cooler:
Click to see full-size image.
Here is a hand that could be equally considered a large cooler.
Max
Pescatori
raises preflop and
Michael
Martin
calls.
Max bets 52k and after a think for a minute, Martin calls.
Max bets 60k, Martin either sets Max all-in or raises and Max moves all-in, it doesn't matter so much as all the chips go in and Max flips
for a set, but Martin turns over
!!!! Max can't believe it and throws his glasses into the middle next to his chips as the
river is peeled off.
Max
Pescatori
is out in 15th place.
Michael
Martin
has around 1.4 million chips, which is almost 25% of those in play.
"Good internet players always have a monster hand when they cold-call a raise," observes
Ramzi
Jelassi
.
Earlier we lost Joe Elpayaa who moved in with
over the top of a button raise from Sjordin who called with
, the board coming
(some outs)
(3 more)

Pot after pot after pot!
Wolters seems to be at the epicenter of everything at the moment.
The latest large pot played out involved David Benyamine and Christopher Wolters.
Alan Smurfit was also involved preflop and the three players went to the flop which fell Ten high. There was some action, which was enough to get Smurfit to bail out of the hand but Benyamine and Wolters went to the turn at which point the rest of Wolters now shrivelled stack went into the middle and Benyamine gave him action.
With 9-9 Benyamine might have thought he was good, although the sick expression on the large Frenchman's face said it all as Wolters showed T-J, which was good for a 250,000 pot!
Benyamine was knocked back to 220,000 though...

Alan Smurfit raises it up and is given a spin by Frode Gjesdal of Norway.
He checks the
flop, only for Frode to bet out a half pot bet...
Smurfit now shoved his 500k ish stack into the middle with shaking hands, but Frode wasn't interesed in continuing following this large check raise from Smurfit and threw his hand away.
The Irishman is now handily placed...
Marcin Horecki has used his short stack well, shoving and re-shoving plenty of times to pick up enough blinds and enough folded raises that he is starting to get back into contention a little with 270k or so...
Also on the up from earlier is Johannes Strassman. Following a nightmare start to the day with 75% of his stack gone by dinner, Johannes has managed to work his way back into things and has 300k or so at the moment...

Eric Liu just played out a big pot with Gualter Salles, the Brazilian ex-Indy Car driver.
Eric raised it up, only for Salles to push over the top for another 100k or so...
Getting 2-1, Liu called with A-J, only to find himself dominated by the Brazilian's pocket Jacks.
Needing a bullet, or other strange combination of cards to outdraw Salles, Liu finally started to turn round his spell of bad fortune as he hit the flop of
hard...
As the turn and river blanked in the form of the
and
, the unfortunate Salles was sent to the rail with a 20k cheque as consolation...

Antony Lellouche raises to 42k from the small blind and Busch calls from the big blind.
Lellouche checks, Busch bets 57k and Lellouche reraises to 150k. Busch thinks for a moment then callls.
Check check.
Check check.
Lellouche declares, "Small pair." Busch shows
and rakes in almost 400k in chips.

The Suck, Re-Suck
Canadian Christopher Wolters shoved his 10 Big blinds in preflop, only to run into Liu with a hand!
Wolters had been trying to steal the blinds with A-2, but Liu had him in trouble with his pocket Kings.
Liu had spiked a bullet to outdraw Salles Jacks previously but the tables were turned as an exciting A-J-T flop popped out, threatening a suck-out in Wolters favour but giving Liu a few outs for the re-suck.
The press and rail gasped as the dealer dealt the dramatic turn...which was a King!
So trips for Liu as the pendulum swung his way in a classic suck/resuck scenario...
With various shouts heard from the crowd of "Queen!" (for a split) "King!" (for quads) and randomly "MAKE IT THE 2 of SPADES!" from some crazy guy, the river was the
, meaning Liu took the pot and Wolters was busted in 13th spot...
12 remain as the heat rises and the final table approaches...

Benyamine Busto!
Quote from: TazDevil on October 04, 2008, 09:01:12 PM
raise pre with AKo, called from blinds by benyamine with
flop comes
and check shoves all in for 200k and eventually called by
and 2 bricks come down with
on river to put benyamine out and a nice 600,000 pot for Turning
p.s This was turning's 1st hand on the feature table....
nice one to walk into
Beat me to it again Taz!
That was a great call from Michael Tureniec, the Swede has ridden his luck, but made some great moves today and he correctly identified Benyamine was on a flush draw there.
It's still a flip of course, but with the dead money in the pot, that was a nice call...
David Benyamine OUT in 12th place, leaving 11 left. They will be playing to a final table of EIGHT players tonight before coming back to duke it out on the final tomorrow...

Frode Gjesdal, who Henning Granstad tells us, is one of the original old school Norwegian players with Jan Sjavik (who is coincindentally playing in the DTD £300 in the Snoopy-based thread), raises to 44k and gets no callers taking the blinds.
Eric Liu gets a walk.
It's very cagey here on the feature table, when they're so close to the big money.
Raise to 42k from Eric 'Peachy_Keen' Liu, Frode Gjesdal ships it all in for 323k, Liu mucks and decides to wait for a better spot.

Antony
Lellouche
has doubled up raising preflop with
and Peter Busch reraising from the button, Lellouche bet a
flop, Peter Busch moved in with
and Lellouche quickly called.
The
turn made Busch's flush but made Lellouche a house at the same time so the
river didn't matter.
Busch was knocked out soon after with K-Q into A-9 and we have 10 players left.
