Magnus Persson - 7th place finisher
Magnus Persson - 7th place finisher
Johannes Korsar has the button in Seat 1.

Magnus Persson moves all in preflop for 124,000. Johannes Korsar calls it. Big blind John Tabatabai re-raises after a pause - making it 445,000 total. That gets rid of Korsar - on their backs!

Persson shows: {K-Spades}{10-Hearts}
Tabatabai shows: {K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}

Flop: {A-Hearts}{7-Spades}{5-Diamonds}
Turn: {4-Spades}
River: {3-Hearts}

Which means that Magnus Persson finishes in 7th place, winning £114,030.

Korsar shows the {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}, Tabatabai shows the {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}, and Korsar's pocket nines take it down.

Earning As You Sleep

Is it Hellmuth?
Is it Hellmuth?
As Dominic Kay's bio eluded to, he has a 50-50 share with someone he has never met after the initial qualifier was unable to make the event. As a result, and assuming that he's not here in the cardroom, that individual is earning more money from his armchair than many folk will in two or three years of hard graft.

Part of me secretly hopes that he's having an evening nap or something, just so he can brag, "I won half a million at poker whilst I was in bed." Now that'd be a tale he could tell the grandkids.

Double check, as it were.
