If one man has emulated the yoyoness of Julian Thew, it's Bertrand Grospellier, the young Frenchman boinging up and down like a squash ball on a bungee. His last pot came courtesy of Glen Chorny, who appears to be on a downward swing, ElkY betting 200k on a before announcing all-in on the River. Chorny instafolded.

Go Glen!! Can another Waterloo-er win the PCA?

[NoflopsHomer]

Marius Olsvik doubles up with J-9 against Pierre Neuville's , catching a 9 on the flop and another on the river for good measure.



Emil Timberg is OUT. His Tens push from the small blind failed to hold against Evan Tindell's cut-off raise and subsequent call of the all-in.

[snoopy1239]

Holy moly, once chip leader of the outer tables with two million, Glen Chorny must be smothered in lard the rate he's sliding down the list, his latest encounter with Joseph Elpayaa seeing his stack drop to the 1.1 million mark. With the board reading 8h-6s-Ah, Glen raised Joseph's Flop bet from 130k to 370k before checking the 2d Turn and calling what I believed to be a 350k bet on the Js River. Joseph showed As-Kd and Glen, again, instamucked.

My money would be on Joseph Elpayaaaa aka pokerjoe

[snoopy1239]

Action has been slow of late, players clearly keeping a firm eye on that final table and being careful not to make any unforced errors. The shortest stack at the moment is Pierre Neuville. The Frenchman just went tapis on his table's ass for about 275k, but quickly took the blinds down uncontested.

The hand prior to that, it was ElkY who took liberties with the blinds, making it 100k under the gun to snap them up.

[snoopy1239]

And on that note, we've lost Pierre Neauville. With ElkY in the big blind, the action folded around to Pierre who made an understandable all-in push with his . Even more understandably, ElkY decided that his Pocket Kings might be worth a stab and made a rather suspect call.

A board was about as harmless as it gets, and Pierre was a gonna. He obviously had a sense of humour, because when he was shown Kings, Pierre revealed just the Ace with the other card underneath, showing that the Ace was the only one that mattered whilst simultaneously adding "crap, does he have Aces?" doubt into his opponent's mind.

He was also very gracious in defeat, shaking the hands at the tables, wishing them good luck and claiming that it had been a pleasure. What a gent.

I don't know if anyone's mentioned this in previous days, but those aren't the normal EPT chips.  They have exactly the same shiny hues as Jolly Ranchers, a particularly fine brand of hard candy sold mainly in America.  If they made them smell like artificial fruit, I would doubtless have tried to eat one.  Maybe that's why Snoops and Homer were selected for this particular job.  Good job, by the way.
