It's not been a good afternoon for Norwegian poker players wearing garish dayglo Riot Rider T-shirts. There are actually two players wearing this exact T-shirt, amazingly. One now, to be fair, after this guy gets his coat having been eliminated by Thomas Middelthon (pictured stacking post bust).
The other Riot Rider - Marius Grotan - just got knocked downwards in chips too... I saw a hand from the flop where Pål Knudsen had checked to him and he'd bet 5,500.
The flop was:
. Knudsen quickly called.
Turn:
Now Knudsen bet out 10k. A much slower call from Grotan.
River:
Instaallin from Knudsen, at which he finally got a pass...showing
Knudsen picked up about a third of Grotan's stack.

Here's another one of those pictures which perfectly sums up the total imbalance of happiness when one player wins a large pot off another. On the left, we have the Winner, Erik Kindlien, unable to resist a little chuckle as he scoops up a large number of Ørjan Skommo's chips. Here's how he did it:
The board was standing
...
...
, and Kindlien had bet 12k, about the pot, on the river. Skommo went through the whole range of head in hands, sighing, frowning, staring (in a most unScandinavian manner) before calling. "Sorry." said Kindlien, as he flipped
for quads, while his opponent muttered something about a cold deck, presumably mucking a high pair.

Final tablist at the Irish Open and all round (that is NOT a reference to his spherical head!) popular figure Kai Paulsen is waiting patiently to find some good spots at the moment, with a stack of 40k...
One of the chip leaders and a player who thusfar has passed under our radar but is doing just dandy with over 100k is the namesake of the english ex-middleweight boxer Robin Reed. His stack certainly carries a big punch and he'll be looking to issue a few knockouts today.

Here we have neighbours Ian Frazer (not currently conscious, having been propped up in seat and left to doze until the buffet break) and BA Kildalen. When I approached the table, BA stage whispered, "Look! I'm sat next to Ian Frazer!
Ian Frazer!
He's famous...do you know him?"
"How do you spell that?" I answered.
"E..E..N.." he helped.

MULTIPLE ELIMINATIONS!
Sadly current holder of hoody of the day, also known less famously as Ove Balsnes, has bitten the dust, a victim of tablemate Simen Derås Jacobsen. Jacobsen's T-T on a T high flop was more than adequate to defeat Balsnes shove with 2 overcards so sadly the man with wings attached to his cartoon superhero hoody has bitten the dust (RICK- I haven't had a chance to find out where this came from yet but I'll see if I can grab him at some point !)
Here he is drowning his sorrows shortly after his elimination...
and one more shot of his awesome winged hoody...
Jacobsen was in no mood to slow down either, raising preflop and then deciding he was getting the odds to call Benjamin Carpenter's shortstacked push with his K-5. Carpenter had the dominant 6-6, but a King on the turn turned the tables dramatically, consigning one more scandinavian to the rail, and adding to Jacobsen's ever growing list of victims.
The latest man to fall to Jacobsen, Benjamin Carpenter...
And the current table terminator himself, Simen Derås Jacobsen

Paul Gourlay is OUT...
He said, succinctly, "Not good," as I approached his table, and indeed his stack looked suspiciously like it might be under 10k at that time. He got involved in a fourway limped pot in the big blind, which checked aaaaallllll the way down until the board read:
...
...
At this point, he took a stand, shoving on the river, instacalled further down the table. At the instacall, he instamucked, letting Matey's
take his final chips.
"I wait till he hits," he sighs. Never one to let himself off the hook, he adds as he takes his leave, "I've been playing like an absolute twat all day."
Ease up on yourself, Paul - it's now the *****************BUFFET BREAK****************** for an hour and they have that awesome chocolate cake making a second, and very welcome, appearance.

I think hoodies have always been permitted, but t-shirts and trainers have not, well not until this week.

Hi Rupinder here not the mrs!
I shot off quite quickly- didn't want to get tempted by the cash whilst steaming.
Down to 19k- Scandie who'd shoved last two hands raises from UTG to 3600 I look down at
on the button and go all in. He calls for his last 12k. He flips
Board
Then shoved my last 5.5k into two short stacks with
BB wakes up with
Ace high board- drawing dead on the turn.
Just wanted to say what a fantastic tournament and an awesome structure. Best thing about DTD- a ten minute break MEANS 10 mins not 10 mins then another 5 to 10 while everyone gets seated
