Hand Analysis: Hands #11-20

It's not how many hands you win, it's how big the pots are in the hands that you pick up. John Tabatabai won the biggest pot of the final table on Hand #17 worth 1.25 million. That put him into the chiplead.

The ever tight Dominic Kay won two pots along with Theo Jorgensen. Magnus Persson was over 1 million to start the round, but he slipped to under 700,000.

Annette_15 was all in on one hand, but she chopped the pot with John Tabatabai after both players had A-K. Aside from that hand, the young Norwegian has been quiet.

Level: 18

Blinds: 8,000/16,000

Ante: 2,000

Hand #18 - Theo Jorgensen

Matthew McCullough has the button in Seat 6. Annette Obrestad raises to 35,000, Dominic Kay calls, Theo Jorgensen raises to 135,000 from the small blind, Obrestad folds, and Kay calls. The flop is {K-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}. Jorgensen bets 110,000 and Kay thinks for so long a clock is called on him. With 30 seconds remaining, he folds, and Jorgensen wins the pot.

The Tabatabai Fan Club Makes their Voices Heard

With the exit of James Keys the crowd has been comparativley quiet. That was until Tabatabai took down the huge pot, then all of a sudden a roar went up like a football crowd.

As long as a UK player is at this table, we can expect that kind of atmosphere. As the booze flows don't be suprised to see "The Wave" and singing along the way.
