Laverty Doubles Up

Gavin Laverty has doubled up to around 6,000, all in on a {10-Hearts} {4-Clubs} {2-Hearts} flop against the chipped-up Ryan Hurst.

Laverty: {10-Diamonds} {J-Hearts} {Q-Clubs} {7-Clubs}
Hurst: {A-Clubs} {2-Clubs} {7-Hearts} {4-Hearts}

Turn: {7-Spades}

River: {3-Diamonds}

Hurst is still on around 12,500 though.

"Sick"

"Sick," said Nicki Olesen as he was dealt a cruel blow. With {A-Spades}{A-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{9-Spades} versus {10-Spades}{K-Spades}{7-Clubs}{8-Clubs}, he was in cracking shape, especially when the flop came {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{8-Spades}, but a {3-Spades} turn and {Q-Spades} river left him slightly aghast, a cheeky backdoor flush leaving him with a depleted stack of 4,225.

It Ain't Over 'Til Mitrentsov Sings

Ipod-singalong sensation Yordan Mitrentsov raised all in to a 700 raise from Dirkzauskas Dainius, and Dainius called all in for 2,450.

On their backs.

Dainius: {K-Diamonds} {8-Clubs} {K-Hearts} {A-Clubs}
Mitrentsov: {Q-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs} {J-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds}

Board: {3-Clubs} {6-Spades} {K-Spades} {A-Diamonds} {3-Spades}

Down to just 250, Mitrentsov busted out a few hands later to the lovely Melanie Niederreuther.

Some Chip Counts

John Duthie -- 7,100

Chop for Naujoks

Sandra Naujoks was faced with a 1,000 bet from an opponent on the river of a {4-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds} {J-Hearts} {3-Hearts} {K-Clubs} board, and raised it up to 2,500. Her opponent went all in, Naujoks called -- but as it turned out it was a slightly disappointing chop.

Naujoks: {Q-Spades} {10-Hearts} {7-Diamonds} {9-Clubs}
Opponent: {A-Hearts} {7-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds} {10-Spades}
