Ira the Tiger

Short-stacked Ira Schmitz just found herself all in, although she's not going down without a fight, and, seemingly, without having to sweat a bead or two.

With {A-Hearts}{Q-Spades},versus {A-Spades}{Q-Hearts}, she was looking good for a split pot, until, that is, the {J-Spades}{8-Hearts}{4-Spades}{5-Spades} board threatened a cheeky backdoor flush.

After the dealer had taken a quick peek (I'm sure this only added to Schmitz' anxiety), a harmless {3-Diamonds} the felt and Schmitz breathed a sigh of relief. However, she is still painfully short with just a couple of thousand.

By the Graziano of God

Sandra Ambroz raised to 1,600 in early position, only for Carlo Graziano to reraise all in for 4,500 total. At which point uber-stack Rasmus Gandrup announced that he was all in too.

Ambroz was left with a difficult decision. "I'm beating you," said Graziano helpfully. Eventually she passed (Graziano managed to extract from her that she hadn't had an ace) and Graziano confidently turned over {A-Diamonds} {K-Hearts}. Gandrup turned over a perhaps slightly embarrassing but very live {5-Spades} {8-Spades}. "Oh, nice hand," said a deadpan Graziano, and the board was dealt.

Board: {10-Diamonds} {6-Hearts} {6-Diamonds} {K-Spades} {5-Clubs}

A visibly relieved Graziano sat back down and took possession of his new, healthier 10k stack.

Grimm End for Achim

Achim Grimm is out. I joined the action with the cards on their back, Grimm's {A-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} in need of divine assistance against his opponent's {J-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}. However, the Poker gods remained silent, and after a rapidly dealt {3-Spades}{2-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} board, Grimm tapped the table and made his exit.

Current Chip Leader

Who's your daddy?
Who's your daddy?
Chip daddy at the moment is this happy chappy, Viliyan Petleshkov. He has a right to be cheery, though, as he's currently riding high with 27,000.

In fact, just prior to that count, he eliminated Anders Willemoes Larsen with {9-Hearts}{8-Hearts} versus {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs} on an ensuing {3-Spades}{9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{J-Diamonds} board, all in preflop with Petleshkov calling a small(ish) three-bet push from Larsen.

Vos Accident Turns out Nice

Mark Vos attempted to raise to 625, only to be informed by the tournament director that it was 800 minimum. "No worries, that's what I meant to do," he lied, and promptly got called in three spots.

Flop: {6-Hearts} {4-Clubs} {6-Diamonds}

Reinhard Knitel bet, and Vos now found himself all in for his paltry stack, and called.

Knitel: {4-Spades} {10-Spades}
Vos: looking good with {4-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds}

Turn: {2-Spades}
River: {7-Hearts}

A more-than double up for the Vos man.
