A quick glance back at MrCool's stack informs me that he is had jumped the first hurdle of his comeback trail, now back up to 9.5k..

John Kabbaj raises it up pre-flop to 1,500 and Nichlas Saarisilta calls.

Flop =

John bets 2,500 and Nichlas makes it 7,000.

John Kabbaj thought and thought, counted out his 20k stack and eventually folded, but I think he was close to pushing in with something like Ace King, thinking that Nichlas could easily be calling in position pre-flop ready to bully on the Flop, knowing that John would be put to a tough decision.

I saw the hands in question, and although I shall refrain from revealing the holdings, what I will say is that Nichlas wasn't bluffing, but had Kabbaj drawing to just the one card, so good fold Mr Large.

Brian Johnson has near trebled up, all-in with an open ended straight draw on the following flop...



Brian Johnson =

Francois Courdert =

Jan Boye =

"Give him his Ace, dealer," demands Brian.

Bosh

Turn =

River =

Brian survives, Courdert exits.
