[snoopy1239]

And we've had an early exit in Yuri Ten Bokkelt whose A-5 failed to outdraw his opponent's Pocket Sevens.

[snoopy1239]

Dropping like flies here.

Michael Frandsen, John Perrson, David Berggren and Norseman, Torstein Iversen have all bitten the dust early doors.

It also appears that Tyrone Kerrigan is also OUT.

[snoopy1239]

Daniel Philips has around 10k.

He's been gettin plenty of hands though....

First he took the blinds with Ace King, then his Kings were outdrawn all-in by Peter Jepsen's A-K, before finally taking the blinds yet again with Pocket Queens.

-------------------

Kim Hemmingsen has just doubled up off TJ Cloutier, although the latter is still on 30k.

A classic coinflip situation, Queens v Ace King with a board.

-------------------

Meanwhile, on the same table, Welshman Iwan Jones ran his Jacks into Queens and King. Fortunately, he made the first raise and was able to get away once WPT Grand finalist, Claus Nielsen, had, made the third raise.

A harmless board resulted in the exit of Kim Hemmingsen.

Daniel Philips Doubles Up:

I hear 'Living on the Edge' play in my head watching him fold his big blind to small blind Simon Mycock, as his 15k at start of day has dwindled to just 6,000... But wait - action on that table, which has a line-up like so:

Pernille Ravn
Simon Mycock
Daniel 'Kinboshi' Philips
Steven Heard
Atle Walgren
Peter Jepsen
Anders Berg
Donny Morris

Under the gun Atle Walgren makes it 2,500 to go (blinds 400/800).  Fold round to Daniel, who decides that now is the time - all in for around 5k.  Then big blind Steven Heard comes over the top, all in for 20k, which is too much for Atle.
"Lucky Sevens..." says Steven, showing
"Unlucky Sevens..." says Steven, as Daniel flips .
Board (you're getting this detail because I actually saw it first hand, not because it's relevant): 

And a double up for Kinboshi from those slightly overconfident Sevens.

[snoopy1239]

Nick found Queens under the gun and raised to 2.5k.

'The Mad Scandie who knocked me out in Baden', aka Karsten Schou, made the call from late position.

Flop =

Slade pushes all-in for his last 12 or so thousand, onlt for Schou to call with .

No flush or straight and Slade's Ladies hold up.

-------------------

Meanwhile, in the other room, Harrison Williams has eliminated Frenchman Bernard Boutboul with Pocket Aces.

[snoopy1239]

Brent Wheeler may have become the first man to surpass the 100k mark after disposing of table neighbour, Peter Hardgrove Hansen.

Incredibly, the two managed to get it all-in with 7-9 and A-2 respectively (including pre-flop action) on a Flop of .

9 of hearts Turn and 7 of hearts River means we have a new chip leader.

--------------------

Dave Colclough has doubled up with A-4 vs Q-9.

[Djinn]

The seven and eight-hand tables at the start have condensed as the elimination carnage continues - I would like a tracking device fitted to all players and linked to some central computer with their name and nationality details.  I think that would be particularly helpful at the WSOP.  Anyway, players finding themselves on less than around 12k are starting to make those desperate moves, and the shorter, the more desperate.  I think the gent who moved in with had just a couple of thousand, although I've never seen hope die in an expression as quickly as when he saw in his caller's hand. 

The big stacks are playing a different game, however, and re-raising happens frequently when more than one of them graces a table, like this one:

Andreas Elofsson
Anders Wijk
Erlend Melsom
Alexander Stevic
Morten Jensen
Maarten Meijer
Bastian Landehagen

Just now Jensen has a go raising from the button, and chip monster Landehagen immediately re-raises 5k, getting rid of the button.  I heard the cutoff saying, "I looked down and found an Ace, and thought about it, but..."  It appears young Bastian has his table expecting pressure at every turn.  Good for him.

[snoopy1239]

It looks like Peter Eichhardt is OUT.

Johnny Lodden is OUT after seeing his Pocket Sevens outdrawn by Ace Queen, an Ace hitting the River.

----------------

Thomas Holm has a monster, and rather tricky to count stack, after busting Aces with Pocket Kings.

He almost folded though...

Flemming de Hoog raised it pre-flop, Holm re-raised, Hoog re-re-raised and, after a long spell in the think tank, Holm finally decided that he couldn't release them and went all-in.

A King on the Flop and a firm kick in the testicles later and de Hoog was OUT.

[Djinn]

Nick Slade, who finds it hard to stay in his chair (fig. A) just took a big pot from chip leader Brent Wheeler.  Brent raised in the small blind to 3,500, and big blind Slade called with .
Flop:    Brent bet out 5k, called by Nick.
Turn:    Brent checked, Nick put in 13k of his 30k remaining, and faced an all-in check raise from the huge stack.  He thought about it a bit, and decided this pot was now too big to let go, calling and finding against him.
River: 

So Nick Slade finds his stack equal to that of Wheeler, 70+k each...

[Djinn]

Rhowena has arrived, so expect a quality Gallery this time round...just as she was walking in the door, Dave was walking out, however, and she shook her head, saying, "What a bok I am..."

[Djinn]

Tom McEvoy is also OUT - got it all in threeway against Sevens and Queens with AK, but no hit and the hopes of the Americans must now rest on the broad shoulders of TJ Cloutier.

[Djinn]

Daniel 'Kinboshi' Philips is OUT -

Another pass round to small blind Simon Mycock.  Another push in from the stack which was more than four times that of Daniel's...but this time he beat Simon into the pot, making his stand with .  What did the s.b. bully have?  .  That hand.
Flop: 
Turn: 
River:    A handshake for a visibly disappointed Daniel Philips, whose first major tournament experience was nonetheless well played. 

[Djinn]

Double up for Kim Hemmingsen with , though (sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, the old no pair top kickers hand).  It works better against , which is what button caller of Kim's cutoff push TJ Cloutier had.  Before the hands went over, TJ said, "Once again, you're in the lead."  Despite his read, the 23k pot moved to his right, however, although TJ's nowhere near the danger zone.
