It sounds like something on ceebeebies!

Oyvind raises it up and gets a call from  Sondre in the big blind.

The flop falls .

A quick check from Sondre and Oyvind looks shifty as he twitches under his whiskers but bets out 100k...

Sondre doesn't think for too long before spiralling his cards toward the muck in dramatic fashion...


A nice pot there for Oyvind and he decides to put his chips into use straight away, re-raising Ian Frazer's raise to 75k to 225k. Instant shove from Ian suggesting he has a VERY good hand and more beardy twitching from Oyvind, who looks uncomfortable and despite getting relatively good odds, he throws his hand away showing the .

With that pot, Ian has propelled himself well into contention, with approx 800k, which is a stack vying for 2nd place at this point!

Pictured, an upstanding Ian Frazer, behatted Erik Borkvik and wryly grinning Oyvind Efraimsen.  Although not grinning after that last hand...

[Dingdell]

I heard Ian say on the live feed "There is no point reraising me with AQ, it's not good enough" just before his opponent mucked.  Looking very comfortable.

[JungleCat03]

MULTI-WAY ACTION!

Sondre limps in for 24k, causing a limp fest with Erik limping also, Stig completing from the small blind and Kjetil checking the big blind...

(exciting...)

FLOP:

Check, check from the 2 blinds who don't look interested in this hand and a check also from Sondre, who is fidgeting a little bit suspiciously...

Erik (the viking, who incidentally has taken the opportunity during the break to adorn himself with a baseball cap, and shades, as if to prevent further comments from me regarding his suspiciously bulging eyes) bets out 70k.

Folded round to Sondre who now counts out a cheeky check raise to 185k!

Eric looks disappointed and his eyeballs press desperately against the lenses of his sunglasses, but ultimately he loses interest and throws his hand away.

Cheeky grin from Sondre who shares a joke with Ian as he sweeps up his chips greedily...

[Djinn]

Marcus Pettersson raises preflop to 70k, called by Sondre Berlian in the blind. 
Flop:  .  Sondre asks how much his opponent is playing...and then bets 60k.  Unfazed by the query, or, apparently, the bet, Marcus immediately moves in, which takes the pot down.

[JungleCat03]

Limp from Sondres but Erik, feeling the pinch after losing that last hand, decides to lay the smack down on Sondres and shoves allin.

He is rewarded for his valiance as his fellow players, including the limping Barlien Sondres, all fold and he picks up the pot.

GO ERIK!

[Djinn]

Ian Frazes to 90k... and after a preflop dwell Oyvind Efraimsends his cards into the muck.


Erik Borkviktorious in a button nick of the blinds.  (This in no way supposes he was button raising with filth, just a turn of Fraze).


You get the idea - it's slowed down for probably the first time in five days - bear with us and we'll have some pictures etc. to entertain during the slow patches...

[JungleCat03]

Ok, quick lookey-likey at this juncture.

Here we have Swedish band Abba in their pomp.

One thing I never noticed though, was that Barlien Sondre and Oyvind Efraimsen were in the band!!
