Christian Grundtvig (Paris WPT winner) is OUT.

Got it all-in with Kings but was outdrawn by the Th 9h of Christian 'Tox'.

2 Christians, both from Denmark, but the younger of the too triumphed when the A-Q-2-8-J brought him a straight.


On the same table, and just a few hands later, Marcel Luske doubles up with Kings versus A-6.

The Camel eliminated Roy Brindley earlier today.

Roy raised to 1,200 from under-the-gun with A-K, Keith made it 4,200 and Roy moved all-in for 35,000.

Of course, Keith called with his Aces and is now around the 70k mark.

Overnight chip leader, Urid Holf, is down to 70k after flopping the second nut flush versus the nut flush.



A few exits that appear to have passed under tha radar, most likely from very late last night.

Kristian Ulriksen
Thang Duc Nguyen
Donnacha O'Dea
John Shipley
Martin Wendt

Zahir Aslam lost a coinflip, A-K vs. Jacks.

Pippa Flanders is OUT.

Haven't seen Joe Beevers or Sigi Stockinger for a while, it looks as though they may well be OUT.

Torstein Iversen is OUT after coming third in a three way pot with 6-5o against Aces and Queens.

Julian Gardner doubles up to 55k.

Flop = 5h Ahrt 4s

15k pot, re-raises 10k initial raise to 20k all-in. Mateyboy calls with Kings. Julian shows Ace-Ten.

Turn = 2h

River = 8d

Jennifer Mason has doubled up to 15k. She re-raised all-in with 5-5, her opponent called the extra 6k with A-Q, and the Fives stood up.

Jen is OUT.

Big Blind (Q-6) versus Small Blind (Q-J)

Flop = Q-6-x

MB bets 2.4k, Jen moves all-in for 17k, MB calls and hits a Jack on the Turn.


And so, it appears, is Ian McDonald.

Correction from earlier, Sigi Stockinger is still plugging away with 39k.

Other approximate chip counts:

Surinder Sunar -- 75k
Sverre Sundbo -- 25k
Stuart Fox -- 73k

A-K vs. 3-3

King on the River.

Mike Tse is down to 3k after having his Kings outdrawn by Rolf Slotboom's Queens.

A few post dinner exits:

Thierry Uld Berg
Osman Mustanoglu
Jonas Molander
Mark Bolliger

Jonas Molander was eliminated by J Koops, A-Q vs Q-Q.

Osman Mustanoglu was eliminated by JJ Hazan who had Aces verus Osman's Queens.

As a result, JJ is up to 100,000.

Paul Parker has just doubled up to 20k. The button raised with J-T and Paul found A-K in the small blind.

R Dersch and Jan Bendik are both OUT, the latter being eliminated by Keith Hawkins.

Meanwhile, Erich Kollman and Jorryt split a pot, A-J vs A-J, all-in pre-flop.

Henning Grandstad is OUT

So is Dutchman Kees Bal who was removed from the TV table by Devilfish. J-9 vs Q-T on a Q-3-T Flop. No improvement.

Frenchman Robert Cohen is OUT, A-J vs 8-8.

On the same table, Karl Mahrenholz has also finally bitten the dust.

Stuart Fox exits in dramatic circumstances.

Jerome Bradpiece raises to 3k pre-flop and receives 3 callers, one of whom is Stuart on the button.

Flop = Kd Jd Qc

Jerome bets out 15k, Peter Dalhuysen (or 'silly hat' as Keith called him) smooth calls and Stu moves all-in for 75k.

Jerome calls with a set of Queens, Foxy has the flush draw with 6d 4d, no improvement, Foxy is OUT and Jerome is one of the chip leaders.

Matt Tyler has doubled up. Thinking the original raiser was weak, he re-raised with K-T from the big blind and pushed all-in on the Flop.

Unfortunately, his opponent has Pocket Nines and called, but Matt managed to create 10 more outs on the Turn, one of which he made when the Jack on the River gave the northerner a straight.
