Timoshenko Versus Bansi

[user4144]
[user4144]
Praz Bansi bet 30,000 into a pot of around 50,000 with a board of {8-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}. Yevgeniy Timoshenko, as calm and calculated as ever, made the call. On the {10-Spades} turn, Bansi opted to check, which was enough to encourage Timoshenko into a bet of 56,000. Bansi made a reluctant fold.

These two seem to be crossing swords constantly at the moment. A monster pot could be on the horizon.

Happy Birthday, Arnaud

Arnaud Mattern, who is in danger of missing his own birthday party tonight by virtue of still being in this (it's ok, that's making the bloggers feel better about having to work through the party too), is having a nice, relaxing morning.

He raised to 15,000 in early position and James Akenhead called from the button to see a {2-Diamonds} {3-Spades} {4-Diamonds} flop. Mattern bet out 22,000 and Akenhead raised to 56,000 -- but Mattern sipped nonchalantly at a cappuccino and then reraised to 83,000. Akenhead looked a bit ill (although it could just be all the early mornings) and folded, defeated.

Akenhead's down to 115,000.

Masterclass

Men Nguyen
Men Nguyen
My assumption would be that all the chips went in preflop, but either way, Men 'The Master' Nguyen has doubled through to just over the 100,000 mark thanks to an encounter with Oyvind Riisem, {A-?}{J-?} out-gunning {A-?}{K-?} on a jack high board. Rissem down to 90,000.

Kabbaj Too Cool

Arriving late today to the felt, Mr John Kabbaj.

He is here now, though. Shame, looked as though table neighbour Daniel Negreanu was rather enjoying dipping into his stack to pick out blinds and antes and the like.

Riisem Pushes

With players taking it in turns to pick up pots preflop, Eric Liu raised to 15,000 from under the gun and Oyvind Riisem deep reached for virtually all his chips from the blinds. Liu quickly folded.

A hand previous, Jason Mercier raised to 12,000, only for Peter Gould to bump it up to 48,000. Mercier let it go.

Docherty Down in 36th Place (£21,142)

David Docherty
David Docherty
David Docherty, who did well to survive the bubble last night, open-shoved in early position and got called by Praz Bansi.

A clinical affair:

Docherty: {A-Clubs} {Q-Hearts}
Bansi: {A-Hearts} {K-Hearts}

Board: {8-Spades} {3-Hearts} {5-Hearts} {10-Clubs} {6-Hearts}

Thus the young Scotsman is bust and his devoted mother and friends at the rail can have an early night for a change, as Docherty claims his second cash of this WSOPE. We suspect we'll be seeing more of Mr. Docherty in the future.
