Final Elimination Of The Night
Saturday, May 2nd, 2009
Christopher Rossiter, AcQs, goes all in against Dag Mikkelsen and his 6c8c and it looked pretty good for Chris. But the board: 8sAs5h4h7h gives Mikkelsen a straight, 8 high and Rossiter exits, missing the final table by just a hair.
Table In A Corset
Saturday, May 2nd, 2009
The table is laced up tightly like a corset. Barely even a flop have we seen.

Naalden All In
Saturday, May 2nd, 2009
Marc Naalden goes All In before the flop and is called All In by Dag Mikkelsen. Naalden’s 4c7c are no match for Dag’s pocket Kings. After playing well and sitting at the top of the herd in chip count, Marc Naalden is busted in 10th place, narrowly missing the final table.
Let’s Get Physioc-al
Saturday, May 2nd, 2009
Grayson Physioc goes ALL IN with pocket 7’s and is called by Matthew Woodward and his Ac9c. The Board comes up 10sKsAsJs6d and Physioc is finished in 11th place.

And In 12th Place…
Saturday, May 2nd, 2009
Steven Silverman shown the door by Daniel Zink and ends the tournament in 12th place. I am overwhelmingly sad to see Steven go because he looks exactly like my brother. And my brother’s name? Is also Steven. I know it’s irrational but I couldn’t help but cheer for him…

Ober-stated
Saturday, May 2nd, 2009
Annette Oberstad and Pieter De Korver call Mikhail Tulchinsky’s pre flop raise and after the 7hQc9c flop, Oberstad bets 300k and De Korver raises 800k. Tulchinsky folds out of their way and Annette goes all in and shows us pocket Aces. De Korver shows pocket 9’s.
And it is over long before the rub-it-in-your-face 9 on the river. Oberstad finishes in 13th place.

Strassed Out
Saturday, May 2nd, 2009
Johannes Strassman takes a look at his cards and bets under the gun and is raised by Peter Traply who goes ALL IN. Everyone else folds, getting out of their way.
Let’s see your cards.
Traply: AsKd
Strassman: Ad9d
Flop: 7s2d5h (and it ain’t looking great for Strassman)
Turn: 10s (the weather not improving for Strassman)
River: Qd
And Strassman busts out in 14th place.

Of 935 players who started the tournament, we are down to the fantastic 14. And 14 is a good number coz it is two times 7 and 7 is my lucky number.
