First Showdown

Danny Wong raised from the cutoff and Andrew Lichtenberger called from the button before a {3-Spades} {2-Diamonds} {9-Spades} flop. Wong continued with a 100,000 bet that is called before the {10-Spades} turn is checked through. The river {7-Spades} is checked by Wong and Lichtenberger bet 175,000. Wong takes his time, studies his opponent and calls but mucks when he sees {6-Spades} {6-Hearts}.

National Pride

Andrew Lichtenberger raises to 60,000 from the cut off before Peter Traply reraises to 160,000. Lichtenberger folds and the Hungarian fans go wild this time. I sense a Germany versus Hungary shout-off here today.

German Fans Quiet on this One

Andrew Lichtenberger raises to 50,000 from the button and [Removed:197] calls to see a {Q-Clubs} {10-Hearts} {2-Hearts} flop. Lichtenberger bets 90,000 when checked to him and [Removed:198] calls. The turn comes {K-Spades} and Lichtenberger bets 225,000 when checked to him again and this time the bet gets through as [Removed:198] folds.

[Removed:197] takes the first pot with a button raise and his hoard of German fans go wild. What will happen if he wins this thing?

Players Are In Their Seats

Well almost all of them are. We're still waiting on Andrew Lichtenberger before we can start.

It does seem like we will have a vocal rail today. Russian flags, German soccer jerseys and chanting the order of the day.

Welcome back Event #41, Final Table

Two tables down, just one table to go. That's a thought that might be on these final five players minds. Each start with 1,500,000 chips and this is the first stage in this tournament that they have to deal with pay jumps depending on what place they finish, rather than just trying to win the table. Players have been called to the table so we should start soon if a little late.
