Boeree Can't Get Called

Back around to her big blind now, and Liv Boeree shoved again, this time a mid-position limp from Carina Schilcher. Schilcher folded.

"No one will call me!" complained Boeree. No matter, not long until top-up time...

Rebuy time for our friend Ramazanali Abbassi.

He got it with {A-Spades}

on a

flop, but got himself called by Thomas Hammerl holding {10-Diamonds}

which held up through the {7-Hearts}

turn and

river.

I'm Sorry, Rasmus, I Can't Remember

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

I joined the action with Rasmus Gandrup (who seems to be one of the more active players here today), all in for around 5,500 after an initial raise of 1,000. One player was complimenting, "Good speech", so I imagine Gandrup's all in wasn't a swift one.

Nevertheless, his opponent made the fold, leading to Gandrup asking, "So, what did you have?" "I don't remember," answered his opponent, perhaps influenced by a popular Rounders scene. "Already?" replied Gandrup. "You're getting old."

Fashionably Late

Just appeared in the cardroom, one red-faced Liv Boeree, fresh off the slopes.

"I got in 6 hours' skiing today," she said cheerfully, "And now I have five big blinds."

Sure enough, she wasted no time in getting all her remaining chips in the middle, shoving from the big blind when Michael Kainz made the mistake of limping in from the small blind. He passed, and Boeree is now up to the heady heights of six big blinds.

Krompholz Doubles Through

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Arvydas Kondratas has doubled up, although in rather fortunate circumstances. With the board reading {4-Spades}

, Kondratas led for 1,700, and, albeit hesitantly, Jurgen Krompholz made the call.

Krompholz = {8-Spades}

Kondratas = {A-Clubs}

Turn =

River =

Krompholz looked about as happy as a penguin in a microwave.

No Messing Around

Rasmus Gandrup has decided to take no prisoners. He was last spotted moving all in for 3,000 preflop with no action before him. On this occasion, he snapped up the blinds uncontested.

Meanwhile, Manuel Brunnsteiner just picked up a nice pot. He pushed over the top of Eduard Borochov's 325 bet on a {6-Clubs}

flop for a total of for 1,700. Borochov passed his hand.

Rebuy Leader

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Rasmus Gandrup moved all in on a {3-Diamonds}

flop holding {9-Clubs}

and found himself well ahead of Dennis Huringolt's {A-Diamonds}

. His luck seems to have been rather poor so far today, though -- he murmured, "Please, please..." as the {Q-Spades}

turn was dealt, and then got smacked in the face by the {A-Hearts}

on the river.

Announced tablemate Nik Lackovic, "You're the rebuy leader. Not the chip leader, just the rebuy leader." Indeed that table does seem to be rather chipped up, with the lion's share in the hands of Gerard Deckers and Mr. Gandrup.
