Unlucky doubleup. It's mayhem here this afternoon. They're dropping like flies. |

Isaksen Rainer has doubled up to over 40k.
This Scandinavian fellow has only been playing poker for 3 months and qualified from a PokerStars freeroll.
At one point, he raise folded when he moved his chips AND his cards into the middle.
According to one source he has been a bag of nerves all week and, calming himself down with the wonderful remedy of alcohol.
He's also been getting titbits of information from some of the Scandinavian press who are desperately trying to offer the newbie some advice.
From what I understand, they're trying to help him avoid situations where he'll be outplayed. Therefore, the all-in push is being widely promoted.
One journalist informed me that he told the newbie to limp in with big hands and then just reraise all-in if an opponent stuck some chips in. Probably sound advice.
I shall keep an eye on his progress.

Julian Thew News Now -
He's increased his stack by at least a big pile of purple chips (500s) in the first half hour - so it looks like he's sat behind a Marcel Luske type tower of the things. I put him on around 36,000 which is more comfortable than his starting 24k.
There is a kind of calm destructive frenzy taking place as the little stacks make a bid to double through. The blinds are 800 - 1,600 with a 150 ante, so those 20kish guys are feeling the pressure.

I don't know if Snoopy's mentioned this, but seeing as he's been a bit, er, preoccupied with the lady players I should mention that two of them are on the same table now - Karin Lundgren and Anina Gundesen. Both have around average chips. Pictures will follow shortly...

The very last hand of the night goes to Dewi James, who finds ACES and talks Raymond O’Mahoney into calling his all-in preflop bet of 15k. “If I had AQ, I’d call!” says Dewi. Raymond calls holding pocket 66’s.

Young Norwegian newbie (the raise-fold guy Snoops just mentioned) is called Rainer Isaksen - and his supporters have a new goal - to see him on the feature table or getting to the money... press star Geir tells us that HE's been coaching the nervous beginner and we here can't help but have a bit of a soft spot for him...

Chessa just took a knock. With 17k already in the pot, Janos Spada moved all-in on a board of      . Chessa dwell for a quite a while. He even tried asking the Scandinavian a few questions in order to extract some information, but Spada wisely remained silent. Chessa growled with frustration before folding. |
