How the mighty have fallen. Hand 104. Going All In in a three way with Tulchinskiy and De Korver, Dag Mikkelsen has busted out of the tournament in 4th place. If you had told me this was going to happen three hours ago, I would have called you a liar.

Mikkelsen raises De Korver All In after the turn and is called!

De Korver: JhAd
Mikkelsen: 10c10h
Board: JsKcAh4s2s

De Korver takes it, leaving Mikkelsen in 4th with a pauper’s worth of chips!

Deja vu, anyone? De Korver again goes all in and is again called by Mikkelsen.
De Korver: JhAd
Mikkelsen: 10c10h
Board: JsKcAh4s2d

And De Korver takes it. With the huge bite he just took out of Mikkelsen’s chip stack, this is again anyone’s game.

De Korver raises all in and is called by Mikkelsen.

De Korver: KhJh
Mikkelsen: Ac3s

Board: Qc10d9d10s2c

De Korver wins and Mikkelsen isn’t too happy about his bleeding of chips.

Mikkelsen 13,430,000
Tulchinskiy 7,115,000
Woodward 5,195,000
De Korver 2,220,000

Pieter De Korver raises All In and in called by Dag Mikkelsen.
De korver has Kc6d
Mikkelsen Qd2s
Board JhKsQs8c6c
And De Korver doubles his money.

After raising and throwing in chips and while Matthew Woodward is deciding whether or not to call, Dag Mikkelsen reaches into his bet chips and changes out chips. Matt reads the call right and raise all in. Dag folds.

Dag is SO ahead that he is starting to play a little nutty?

Matthew Woodward and Dag Mikkelsen bet us to the flop of 4s5c7c and Woodward checks and Dag bets 325k and Woodward raises All In. Dag really considers. He seems to argue with himself. It’s clear he has something. But Matthew is like a block of stone and unreadable. After a long time, Dag folds.

Dag Mikkelsen raises pre flop and is called and raised ALL IN by Pieter De Korver. Mikkelsen folds.

Dag Mikkelsen 15,295,000
Mikhail Tulchinkiy 6,190,000
Matthew Woodward 4,085,000
Eric Qu 1,470,000
Pieter De Korver 915,000

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.

Chip counts for the final 9 players
Dag Mikkelsen 5,510,000
Matthew Woodward 4,870,000
Peter Traply 4,155,000
Mikhail Tulchinskiy 3,170,000
Pieter De Korver 3,040,000
Eric Qu 2,495,000
Daniel Zink 1,710,000
Alem Shah 1,640,000
Christopher Rossiter 1,590,000

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.

At The Feature Table (Seats 1-8):
Peter Traply, Steven Silverman, Alem Shah, Daniel Zink, Matthew Woodward, Johannes Strassman, Grayson Physioc and Dag Mikkelsen.
