Summary of the less-interesting hands (most pots are being taken without a flop) -- 2x Gus Hansen preflop reraise (win), 1x Rehne Pedersen preflop reraise (win), 3x Gus Hansen preflop raise (win), 2x Chris Bjorin preflop raise (win).
Hellmuth: "I can't believe that I'm still here. I won one hand in the last four rounds. Wait, maybe it was five rounds. I can't believe it. Am I really still here?"
Mark McCluskey: "It sounds like it."
The rail erupted in laughter.
After the hand, Lindgren was up to 120,000.
After Phillip Hilm had raised to 3,500 preflop and Janne called from the cutoff, Gary made it 15,000 on the button. Phillip Hilm then gave Gary the stare down of all stare downs, his ice-cold glare at one point actually seen piercing through Gary's head. Gary, shades on and eyes down, remained silent throughout, just the odd squirm or physical gesture suggesting he wasn't particularly comfortable. Meanwhile, Hilm was motionless, and at one point I wondered if he even knew it was his go.
After Hilm had been reactivated, he decided to fold, only for Lamsa to surprise everyone by swiftly reaching for a stack of red 5k chips and putting Gary all in. Perhaps squeeze-playing, Gary paused for a moment and then folded.

Janne Lamsa - 160,000
Johannes Korsar - 149,000
Duke turned over for top set while Yilmaz showed .
"Pair the board, please, right away" begged Duke, remembering Yilmaz' earlier magic with his A-K against Joe Serock's A-A.
The turn was the , the river was the , and Duke dragged the monster pot, worth 205,000 and shot up to second overall in chips. Yilmaz was left with 135,000.
"No one plays the short sack like me."
"I'm the smartest player in the world."
"They just don't understand the beauty of it."
"I'm three levels above them. If I was just one level up, they'd get it."
"I love the challenge, I've come back hundreds of times."
"I wear ladies underwear."
Okay, I made the last one up.
Limp in and play small pots.
There you go, thats how you do it.
Class dismissed.
But what actually happened was a check-down from both players until the river with the board looking like: . At this point, Vicky bet out 13k and after a brief think, Hansen called. She showed her with a small club (can't quite see over the TV table rim) but two clubs plus three clubs equals a queen-high flush and she won the pot.
