Dave Mobbs is OUT in 32nd

I joined the action on the Flop.

Dave was one off the cut-off and Christopher Ulsrud was on the big blind, so I assume Dave raised it up pre-flop and was smooth called.

Anyhow, Dave pushed with and was quickly called by Ulsrud's Pocket Sevens.

It looks as though Josh Arieh has just doubled Philip Hilm up on the feature table with K-x suited versus Aces. 2-2-6-J-Q Flop.

[Djinn]

Ulsrud isn't shy about seeing flops especially after adding 50% to his stack courtesy of Mobbs - limping in early he called David Peters' preflop raise of around 40k (which he made from the big blind).  The flop came and a 65k bet won that one for David...

Then he called Dean Sanders' preflop raise from the big blind, and saw an flop.  Checking, Dean bet 48k and Chris passed showing the .  I reckon eventually some raising might start to occur from the young Norwegian...

[Djinn]

Josh Arieh finishes 29th (€26,550) -

A TV table elimination - we saw some shots of Hilm stacking so we think he was the victor....that one's our weak link, though - up on a stage apart from the rest of the room, we need to catch it on the press room feed to give details.

[NoflopsHomer]

Christinel Dumitru is OUT in 31st place

On a board, Eric Van Der Berg put him all-in and Christinel eventually called, he was shown JC and mucked his hand.
Richard Waters is OUT in 30th place

He pushed with from the blinds (I think) against Kristof De Smedt's raise with and got a caller.

Board:

(a few more outs now)

De Smedt is now stacking the freerolling qualifier's chips.

[Djinn]

Herman Zango is OUT in 28th -

Short stacked move-in preflop with over the top of Ram Vaswani's 35k early position raise got him heads up, in the end, against Eric Van der Berg, whose looked in pretty good shape against Herman, who prayed, "No Queen.  Diamonds.  Ten."
Flop:      Herman:  "King."
Turn:    Herman:  "King or diamond, any diamond..."
River:    A black Deuce, the ultimate blank, and he shook hands with his eliminator and headed for the rail (which is already packed with press and spectators).

Jacob Larrsson is OUT in 27th place.

Josh Prager pushed in early position, Simon Johansson raised, but Jacob pushed from the blinds. Simon eventually called.

Jacob:



Board:



Josh trebles up and Simon's Eights take the side pot.

[snoopy1239]

Van Der Berg has taken a big pot off Antony Lellouche, the latter seeing his button raise with Eights moved over the top of by Van Der Berg's Queens. Lellouche called, but couldn't improve on the 9-3-5-2-6 board, the giving the Dutchman a flush.

Van Der Berg had a couple of hundred thousand less though at that point, so Lellouch is still in.

[snoopy1239]

Ben Callinan is OUT.

Ben moved all-in for 70k with and was called by Marc Karam's Queens.

Board =

Another Brit bites the dust.

[snoopy1239]

Pete Giordano and Soren Kongsgaard split a pot with Big Slick squared. Irrelevant 8-6-5-5-9 board.
