In a chat with Soren's brother downstairs it was made clear to us that Soren will win this! Apparently he got very unlucky in the WSOP main event, losing three 70/30's in a row, but the Hansen's are sure that his time has come in this event. The next few hours will prove whether their confidence is well placed. Incidentally his brother was second in last years live Danish multi-table tournament leaderboard.

Let It Be

Tim raised to 70,000. Daniel Ryan re-raised to 185,000 on the button. Tim asked Danny for a count of his chips. Danny had 509,000 left in front of him after the raise. Tim has been quieter than earlier and his usual energetic interrogation has also been lacking, he just sat there and thought for a while before calling.

The flop was {2-Spades}

Tim checked, Danny quickly made it 140,000. "You gotta big pair huh? I don't believe you son," said Tim, suddenly vocal. He then went into a rendition of Let it Be before calling the bet.

The turn (dealt to another bar of Let it Be from Tim) {8-Diamonds}

Tim bemoaned the fact that he could not stand up while in a hand and then moved all in. Now that all of his chips were in the middle, he was allowed to stand up and continue his out of tune singing while Daniel had a big decision to be made. Eventually, Danny folded and Tim showed the {9-Hearts}

.
