All players now on the first break of the day for 15 minutes. When we start again we will have blinds of 5k/10k/1k
VojtaR is up well over 1 million in chips after eliminating two players in the same hand just before the break!
VojtaR in the blinds saw the first player - Tristan Clemencon - raise, before Daniel Larsson moved all in for about 100k. VojtaR asked for a count and then went all in over the top. Clemencon tanked for a while and then also made the call.
Clemencon: J-J.
VojtaR: Q-Q
Larsson: A-8
Board came KKK - 8 - 2 and all chips were shipped VojtaRs way.
VojtaR now most likely in top 3 of the chip count! Ship iiiiit!
Life's good - if you keep on running good. VojtaR after eliminating two players.

Legitimate Brag - Sigurd Eskeland with his 2010 WSOP bracelet ($2,500 8-game)

Oh hai.

A big hand AGAIN? VojtaR cleans up his table.

Grinding a shortstack - PokerNoob

VojtaR keeps on taking his opponents out! 5 of them so far today!
This time with 7-5s vs A-J. a seven on the turn sealed the deal. VojtaR now somewhere between 1,2-1,3 million in chips!
It turns out VojtaR can actually also loose from time to time.
Player in UTG moves all in for his last 106k, and its folded rount to VojtaR on SB who makes the call.
VojtaR is behind with 7:h 7:c against his opponents J:d J:h.
And when the flop comes K:d T:h J:c VojtaR needs two running sevens or a straight to win the pot, none of the needed cards show up on the turn though, and VojtaR drops to 1,150,000 in chips.
PokerNoob is down to just over 180k.
This is all going in a tempo not often seen. We are already, after just 2 hours and 20 minutes of play, down to 30 players. So half of the field that started the day is already gone.
Average stack is about 575k.
Things have slowed down a bit here, with 12 minutes to go to the next break. But just like that VojtaR shows that he is the boss, and takes out another player.
Player UTG limps, as does UTG+1 and SB, and it's on VojtaR on BB who raises it up to 45k and gets called by UTG. UTG+1 then moves all in for a total of 126k. SB gets out of the way, and VojtaR pushes all in over the top to isolate against UTG+1, and gets his wish when UTG folds, so they are heads up.
VojtaR tables K:c K:s, and is way ahead when his opponent shows K:d Q:h.
Board 4:c 2:s 8:c - 7:s - 4:s is of no help for the opponent and VojtaR sends him to the rail.
Last hand before the break PokerNoob doubles up!
Its raised to 20k from CO, and SB calls. PokerNoob in bb moves all in for 185k, and SB makes the call
PokerNoob: A:h K:s
SB: A:d T:d
Board comes 9:s 8:s 8:c, and the turn is Q:h to give SB a straightdraw, but Tobi dodges it when the river is 7:c.
400k for PokerNoob now!
Cards in the air again! New level - 6k/12k/2k, 27 players still in.
We will be playing down to a final table of 6 players today.
The guy that lost to PokerNoob just before the break was left with just 8k, but just doubled up against VojtaR. Is that our future winner? A chip and a chair, right?
VojtaR doubles the shortie up again, when losing with A5 vs AJ.
From 8k -> 80k in a few minutes, how long will it last?
And PokerNoob is unfortunately back down to 180k-ish in chips, after losing with AK vs QQ.
Upstairs there is a €1k six-max event going on, and Seb1986 and Jektiss are playing, sitting on the same table.
108 players started, and just under 70 remain.
PokerNoob raised to 26k from early position, and it was folded to VojtaR in SB. He was obviously thinking "No PokerStrategist should be stealing my small blind", and made it 57k. Enough to make PokerNoob fold.
