Double K.O.

It's a triumphant ring of the bell for Sampo Lopponen as he delivered a left jab into the Gus Hansen jaw (isn't he meant to be good at this!), then a right hook into the gut of Andy Black for a double K.O. Hansen mucked too quickly for my little paws to scurry across my pad, but the board read {3-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{8-Spades} and Black exited with {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} versus Lopponen's {K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}.

Lopponen now has 65,000, and looks to be pipping Roberto Romanello by a gnat's pubic hair for the honour of current chip leader.
