Dinner Tale #3
Brief Paul Gourlay update - been moved three times, no time to settle, but, in his words, "Hanging on with 100k. No hanging on for me though, if I get a hand I'm going to be in there..."
And I think that's all we have time for as a restart is planned for around now. I can tell because the commentators have all gone towards the commentary booth in a purposeful manner.

Oh, OK one more - Mikey Tse is on just under 100k too. Plus he got quads. Under the gun raised, he re-raised (from 12k to 20k) on the button with
, call.
Flop:
Check-check
Turn:
Check; Mike slow checked
River:
Slow check back, and the cameras were all over that table by this point so Mike bet 17k. A dwell for a long time, a pass, and a show of the Four Queens, thereby almost guaranteeing that he'll get on TV.

Henning Granstad is OUT, I spied him putting his coat on from my vantage point along the balcony, Mark Bartlog was the assassin.

Lots of shouting from Frederik Hostrup, but it turns out that he's happy - still in after what looked like a river bluff for a big pot (there was some high-fiving involved). Meanwhile
Climber of the Tournament
Thomas Fougeron has topped the 200k mark, having been down to just 600, with the blinds at 150/300...
Currently 49 players - this is The Bubble...

probably the longest hand-by-hand play?
very nice webcast from the pokerstars gang,
http://eptlive.com/WebCast/Default.aspx?ID=12
can imagine how chaos that is right now inside the tournement area, poor Mad who in charge of clearing the area.
u guys have full access to the tables ?
We wish... officially no one's meant to be round the tables, and it looks like gangs of spectators have infiltrated the inner circle, which could be avoided by the sensible application of a rope.
Anyway, apart from those two all-ins who survived, there's been lots of waiting recently.
Pab is sat there still with his short stack, and despite pushing twice before the hand for hand part started, hasn't found another opportunity. Meanwhile the clock is still running, so if he survives the bubble the level will have risen once again, making his short stack shorter.

Philip Yeh (playing strongly, stacking high with confidence) just called the all-in of Jesper Witved (very short) with his
. After an eternity of set-up, we get to see Jesper's
...
Flop:
Turn:
("He has outs," go the tense Danish press, cursing the luck of the Swedish)
River:
And the crowd goes wild. We're still on the bubble.

The bubble has burst. Finally. Hiroshi Shimamura is 49th, Homer was downstairs and will probably have some details, if he can get through the ridiculous crowd.

Yes Hiroshi Shimamura is the bubble with 4-4 vs Mark Bartlog's T-T with the board coming J-3-J-T-2
During this long bubble situation Johnny Lodden looked incredibly bored, remarking that they had only played 7 hands in an hour. Too much online poker methinks?
Straight after the stacks went crazy in the pushing stakes. Jen is off looking for the exits.
Just after the bubble I see Pab pushing and he's called by Sebastian Ruthenberg's big stack
Pab:
Sebastian:
Flop:
Turn:
Anyone shouting, "One time?"
River:
Pab has 85k now, but still short with the blinds 4k/8k.

Sverre Sundbo is OUT, that Q-J losing to a short stack's Q-T crippled him and he never recovered, though he couldn't believe the Q-T call. His final hand was when he pushed with 9-8 sooted and ran into Tens.

Jim Kerrigan was on his way to pick up his cash for 40th place - AQ lost to an under the gun suspicious limper ("Is it my big blind?") who turned out to have Kings, and then Q-9 vs. A-J for his last hand.
He's very calm and pleased with the result, given that (a) he didn't see any big hands and (b) he was in the same boat with all the medium stacks who found the wasted hand-for-hand hour very frustrating.
Johnny Lodden is quite right to complain about the number of hands played during that period - it took any sort of play away from at least 25 of the remaining players after the bubble finally burst, who were mainly just sitting around while the previous level ticked away. Definitely should have paused the clock, in my opinion.

Nicolas Levi doubled up (he's been under the radar chipwise for a while, but now on TV with a few more) getting it all in with Kings against Florian's
- that, I think, was the hand mentioned earlier - the critics are divided about this play, Jan says "Why not? Ten big blinds is ten big blinds..."
Anyway, they're on a 15 minute break at the moment, Homer has the recent events, and it's my turn to "Excuse me," my way to the front of the crowd when they restart.

Add Ben Grundy and Pab to those complaining about the fact they only played 7 hands in the last level (3k/6k). Pab is advocating that they role back the blinds.
Incidentally Ben has doubled up with errrr 7-5 pushing and found a caller from Jose Luis Navarro with A-T for the board to come A-5-2-x-7, shipping 200k Ben's way. Navarro's bad luck continued calling another all in with
against
, with the board coming out
!
I found Paul Gourlay on my travels, he went out in 46th place. A victim of the card deadyness and increasing blinds lead to him pushing for 45k from midposition with A-T only to run into the A-K of the big blind.
Also out is one of my picks Pablo Rua, his pushed blind with 30k left and was called in two spots, hitting two pair on the turn only to have it counterfeited on the river. He was in good spirits and felt he made the right decisions most of the time and didn't feel too bad about it all.

Geir Inge Hauland is out, he pushed a short A-K against K-9 only for a nine to be spiked on the flop
