Blind on Blind Action

Simon Dorslund
Simon Dorslund
Danny Ryan limped in from the small blind, Simon Dorslund raised to 50,000 and Danny called.

Danny checked the {J-Clubs}{3-Spades}{3-Hearts} and Simon bet 70,000. Danny raised to 165,000. Simon moved all in. Danny laid it down.

Simon is in the last few months of college where he’s studying dairy production. He’s not sure of his plans once he graduates, but he's guaranteed at least €76k today. He certainly now feels tempted by poker. He’s been playing for around four years but this is his biggest result to date - with the best before that being the satellite he won to get into the event. Online he won $15k in a $170 tourney. He said: “I’ve really enjoyed myself. It’s been a lot of fun and I didn’t really expect to get this far. My goal at the beginning was just to get through to Day 2 so I’ve gone way beyond that.” Simon is being supported in Copenhagen by his girlfriend Jannie.

Tim, Could You Sit Down? Pretty Please?

Tim Vance has spent the majority of his time at the final table out of his seat, pacing around, even while he's in a hand. Though such behavior is against the TDA rules, none of the other players have complained about it. However, Tournament Director Thomas Kremser has just intervened, telling Vance that he needs to stay in his seat, or, if he chooses to stand, to stay close to the table. The two appear to be "negotiating" at present to define an area where he can be permitted to walk around, but Vance is getting quite argumentative. The camera crew must be tearing their hair out as well, as they attempt to keep him in the shot.
