Double Takedown News Now -

John Dull moved in preflop for 101,000.  Bjorn-Erik Glenne decided to give him a spin, and as a surprise, Robin Keston moved in too from the small blind (for less in total).

John showed: 
B.E. showed: 
Robin showed:

The board came 3 J 4 6 4 (Big TK doesn't like to announce the suits for some reason) and that means that:

Robin Keston is the 8th place finisher, for €69,100

AND

John Dull is the 7th place finisher, for €92,200

Just prior to this hand, Bjorn Erik doubled up Joakim Geigert in the following fashion:

Joakim raised to 45k preflop, and BE called from the big blind.  The flop:    BE bet out 70k, and Joakim raised all-in (for c.150k) - only a little think from BE before calling with his up'n'down - Q 9 - while Joakim's AJ ended up holding up for a much needed double.

Interesting call by Robin K. in that spot

From the back row in the stands, reserved for the press, I got only one non-blurry shot from the last half hour - and this is it:

[snoopy1239]

With 6 player remaining and the blinds at 10k/20k, we are seeing lots of flops and there is plenty of room for some poker to be played, a stark contrast to the two table bingo affair that I witnessed earlier.

Incredibly, Dave Gregory appears to be bullying the seemingly invincible Phil Ivey. In two recent hands, he took Phil off the pots. The first was when Phil raised to 60k under the gun, Dave made it another 100k from the big blind and Phil folded. And then, after Lisandro raised to 60k preflop (receiving two callers in Gregory and Ivey), Gregory check-raised all-in Phil's bet on a flop of 5-T-2 to once again make the world's best player fold.

Of course, he could have held the nuts on both occasion, but you never know...

Astonishing but with the blinds so high and him being short..........

Jeff Lisandro is OUT and becomes the 6th place finisher winning 115,200

Ivey raised from the button, Lisandro called from the Big Blind and they both saw a T-9-5 flop.

Lisandro checked, Ivey bet, Lisandro moved all-in and Ivey called.

Ivey = 9-9, Lisandro = T-9

Turn = 4

River = 4

Ivery wins with a full house, although I think 3 pairs is better.

[Djinn]

Well, five handed now, and some ENORMOUS stacks, most notably, of course, Ivey's right now.  I heard the guy next to me say "Unbelievable - he comes over here, one of a handful of Americans, and he's chip leader on the final table."  I didn't even want to pick him right at the start, just because it's such an obvious choice.

Joakim Geigert is OUT in 5th place, winning €138,200

Bjorn-Erik raised to 55k preflop, Joakim re-raised to 155,000 - call.
Flop:  5 9 4 (two hearts)  Check from BE, All-in from Joakim - call. 
BE showed:  K 9
Joakim showed:  A 3
With the turn and river bringing the inconsequential Q 4, we are down to just four... It's moving rather quickly.

And with that, the final Swede is out of the competition... someone from Norway pointed that out.
