High Rollers Chip Count

Level pegging in the High Rollers event; all three remaining players have around 45,000 each.

Seat 1: Tony G -- 45,000
Seat 2: Mark Vos -- 45,000
Seat 3: Markus Golser -- 45,000

Three-Way All-in High Roller Craziness

Boeken busted
Boeken busted
Looks as though the chips went in on the flop.

Tony G: {A-Clubs} {A-Hearts} {A-Diamonds} {Q-Spades}
Noah Boeken: {8-Diamonds} {7-Clubs} {6-Clubs} {4-Spades}
David Saab: {8-Spades} {7-Spades} {6-Diamonds} {J-Hearts}

Board: {2-Spades} {5-Spades} {3-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds} {2-Clubs}

To cries of, "SICK!!!" Tony G took the lot, and both Saab and Boeken headed for the bar, giggling.

We're down to three players now; approximate chip counts are as follows:

Tony G: 60,000
Mark Vos: 40,000
Markus Golser: 35,000

Incidentally, as the high rollers returned from dinner they discovered not one, not two, but three trophies on their table, despite only two places paying out. The third place trophy is very small. Mark Vos seems to like it, though -- "I would pay €5,000 for that trophy," he announced. "That can be arranged," said the TD...

Mark Schouten Doubles Through

Mark Schouten raised to 10,000 preflop from late position and was flat-called by Klaus Dresl and Tony Bromham on the button and big blind respectively.

On the {5-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} flop, Schouten check-raised Dresl's leading bet of 20,000 all in, and Dresl insta-called.

Dresl = {A-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{3-Spades}{3-Clubs}
Schouten = {A-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}

The {A-Spades} turn killed off any excitement, an academic {9-Hearts} river unable to prevent the pot going the way of the Dutchman.
