[danafish]

One Official End Of Level 14 Chipcount that is no longer accurate is that of Pavarotti-a-like Gino Alacqua. He doubled up courtesy of fellow Italian Giacomo Rosa, shoving with  and getting himself called by from Rosa's small blind.

Board -

Rosa is down to about 40k.

Well here we are into most definitely the last level of the day, with 5 places to go until the money. It's all very exciting.

Our current chip leader we reckon, on around 280k, is Mr Rasmus Hede Nielsen.

Alas alack though, our friend Trond Eidsvig has taken a bit of a beating - he's down to around 85k now with the blinds up to 2k/4k. Latest loss is down him calling a 13k raise from Jan Sorensen out of position, and then check-folding the flop. Come on, Trond!

Sorensen has also been doing damage to former chip leader Joseph Serock - he took a big pot off him with A-K on an A-x-K-x-x board. Serock mucked.

Joris Jaspers wins some chips!  JohanNED you may continue to celebrate...

What happened was this - Runar Runarsson was under the gun and Jaspers in the big blind.  I caught the hand from the flop so I don't know whether Runarsson raised and if so how much (pot visibility minimal).
Flop:    Check to Runar who bet 15,000.  Joris thought for a little while and then flat called.
Turn:    Check...think...check
River:    Check from Joris again - Runar kind of gave up and showed his while JJ took it with his .

Not sure whether this was before or after Jen saw that last pot, but when I counted Joris Jaspers' stack, it was around 220k.

Just outside the money busts Lasse Jeppesen getting it all in with vs. ("We have a race," helpfully comments Leroy Soesman).  Two Kings later and he quietly leaves the room while his buster - Patrik Andersson - now has a 310k stack at least. 

[danafish]

Friends, we are hand for hand!

Mr 43 was Jonas Lennartsson, who ended up sticking them in with against Ed De Haas' .

A board later, we are down to 42; Jen has details of that...

[Djinn]

Yeaaaah, Go Joris!!!

And Go Leroy Soesman as well!!!!!

Sadly, we have lost him in 42nd place (the bubble bubble)... With 44k he shoved on the cutoff when it folded round to him, waited as Rolf and the small blind passed, but the big blind instacalled - it probably wasn't going to be good news for his ...and it wasn't - he was up against .

Flop:    "Ten?  No, doesn't really do that much..."
Turn:    "I said I was going to bubble!  When I say something, I mean it," he resignedly joked...
River: and he shook hands with his eliminator in a gentlemanly fashion and exited. 

Hand for hand is now in operation...

Incidentally, fellow Dutchman Rolf in this picture was caught muttering to himself by Dana.  It was something like, "Weak.  Playing tight.  Tight weak.  Weak tight."  Hope he's not losing the plot on the bubble.

DOUBLE BUBBLE!!

Three tables simultaneously found players all-in during the same hand for hand hand (that looks odd). 

1)  Gino Alacqua survived his one with after Rasmus Nielsen attempted to burst the bubble by taking the shortstack on with Q-x... no joy there (except for Gino).

2)  Haward Speer got it all in with (see a pattern here?) given a spin by Trond Eidsvig with ...
Flop: 
Turn:
River:

SO down one bubbler...

3)  Claus Tversted got it all in wtih , and this time it was a big slick that called him - that one hit two pair and so Tversted is probably the official bubble - as his chip stack was the shorter of the simultaneously all-in players. 


Phew.  Dana watched this, by the way, nudged vigorously by some Italians.  I applaud her efforts and will be buying some beer for her.

That's it! See you tomorrow at 2pm for a much-faster-probably-now-everyone's-in-the-money day.
