Hand #96: Fabrice Touil moved all-in. Guenni folded, Theo Jorgensen said, "I'm not calling," and mucked. Antoine Amourette followed suit having declared, "Neither am I."
Hand #97: Mickael Guenni raised to 135,000 then took another one of his long thinking sessions to fold when Per Linde moved all-in from the big blind.
Hand #98: Antoine Amourette moved all-in on Fabrice Tuil's big blind and everyone folded.
Hand #99: Fabrice Touil moved all-in from the small blind and got Guenni to fold what looked to be an Ace in the big blind. "I'd never fold that..." said Jorgensen. Touil got a rather large round of applause from his fans in the audience.
Hand #89: Mikael Guenni takes the blinds and antes with a 135,000 raise.
Hand #90: Theo Jorgensen opened to 135,000 from the cutoff, before Antoine Amourette made it 325,000 from the button. Jorgensen has been a little unhappy with both Guenni and Fabrice Touil as he feels they take far too long to make decisions and tank with every hand. This became clear once more as Jorgensen said to Amourette that he felt the latter was taking too much time. Touil folded and Jorgensen sighed and said slightly frustrated, "I'm all-in."
It was 1,315,000 more to Amourette who had Jorgensen covered. The Frenchman, who had the clock called on him said with 30 seconds left, "I'm going to gamble, I call."
"Well, I'm ahead then..." said Jorgensen turning over to Amourette's .
The flop came and Jorgensen rolled off his possible scare cards he did not want to see, "No three, no six, no seven, no eight," before calling for a diamond, forgetting the board had paired.
The turn helped neither but the river sealed Jorgensen and the tournament's biggest pot of about 3.3 million. Amourette has about 600,000 left.
Hand #85: Theo Jorgensen limped the button, Antoine Amourette folded the small blind but Per Linde raised to 200,000 from the big blind. Jorgensen made the call to see a flop, Linde fired out 250,000 and it was met by an instant fold from Jorgensen. To misquote Obi-Wan Kenobi, "These are not the flops you're looking for."
Hand #86: Jorgensen takes the blinds with a 125,000 raise.
Hand #88: Jorgensen raised to 135,000 from the small blind but Amourette set down three of the 100k plaques with a 25k chip on top for a raise to 325,000. Jorgensen folded saying, "Take it down," he looks a bit unhappy so far.
Hand #81: It's folded over to the blinds, the funny part of this was Theo Jorgensen saying, "I fold..." and then the dealer asking him, almost shocked, "You fold?"
Antoine Amourette raised from the small blind to 125,000 and Per Linde raised all-in for his stack.
Amourette said, "Ace-seven? Ace-eight?" He then folded with a smile.
Hand #83: Jorgensen raised to 125,000 and the suddenly everything went very silent as Amourette reraised to 275,000 without making a sound. Jorgensen gave it up without much thought.
The last four hands were just pure blind thievery, first Theo Jorgensen, then Mickael Guenni, then Antoine Amourette and finally Jorgensen took Hand 79 as well.
Hand #73: Theo Jorgensen raised to 95,000 but folded when Fabrice Touil moved all-in.
Hand #74: Per Linde opened to 85,000 and Theo Jorgensen called from the blinds. The flop came and Jorgensen check-called a bet of 130,000 from the Swede. Both players then cautiously checked the turn and the river was the , Jorgensen checked again and Linde checked behind. The Dane showed and it was enough for him to win the pot.
Hand #75: Mickael Guenni, who maybe we should start calling "The Ice Cream Man" because he likes 99's so much, made it 99,000. Theo Jorgensen 3-bet him once again to 250,000. But this time it did not look like Guenni wanted to give up his hand, Jorgensen though looked fairly bored, however he kept half an eye on Guenni's chips.
Guenni tanked once again, Jorgensen said, "I'm going to call the clock on you in 30 seconds so you have one minute and 30 seconds to make your decision."
Guenni mucked showing an Ace. Jorgensen continued, "An Ace isn't going to help you, you need something with it..."
Mickael Guenni has dabbled back into the action in the last two hands, both with 3-bets. First in Hand 69 he pushed Theo Jorgensen off a pot, then did exactly the same against Per Linde in Hand 70, Guenni is planning to hang around a little longer yet.
Hand #71: Theo Jorgensen took down the pot with the seemingly standard 90,000.
Hand #72: Fabrice Touil, who has been the least active player in the last hour, opened to a chunky 145,000 preflop but gave up pretty quickly when Per Linde literally shipped his chips on the back of his 100k plaques. Touil's stack is dwindling in the face of aggression from his opponents, he will have to double up soon.
