Jesper Höög was down to about 7.200 and had to do something, and here is what he did:
UTG raised to 900 and Jesper thought since the Big Blind was sit out that he will raise with a pretty big range of hands, so he found A9 suited and pushed all in. The original raiser called and showed pocket 10s. The first card on the flop is the A! Second card is a 10… And it was over, also Jesper hit the rail. His own comments about it was that he had been happy with his game today, just that he didn’t have any cards to make any moves with, and that the table he had been on all day was a tough table. Hopefully we will see more of Jesper soon!

Just when I had this chat with Jesper I get a phone call from Toni, and a poker player that phones you while they are still in the tournament is nothing that usually happens, this just leaves the worst. Toni had pocket 8s on a flop of 1032, and there was some betting and on the turn thee is a Queen. Toni gets all his chips into the pot and his opponent calls with Q3 and a two pair beats Tonis 8s. Also Toni left to the rail and just shortly after that straight to the bar, a bar that unfortunately is very red tonight.

Only two kings left now, Per Linde and Shandon Clarke! No luck so far, it’s time for some now!

Per Linde - 27.000
Shandon Clarke - 13.000
