Another player found the very lucky in love Harald Olesen..
He started on 10k, went down to 8k but has doubled up to over 16k!   |
|
By:
And another player found, the ice cool Rune Jacobsen sitting with about 14k.

Claus Kramer out, finds A7 suited in the BB. Passed round to the SB who shoves, Claus calls but the SB shows AK and a King on the flop seals Claus's fate.
Louis Zettermeier has had to head home due to circumstances beyond his control and is being blinded out but should still get into the money which he must pick up in person but has three years to do so! |
|
By:
Harald Olesen has doubled up again AA v AQ and is now on about 35k..
Michael Ortner is currently on 31k |

Having spoken to Joe Hachem, Marcel Luske decided to come and ask for a bit of Thrappers coaching, reluctantly I obliged!!
  |
|
By:
It's now getting beyond a joke, Phil Ivey wants some coaching now.
I have a job to do so I just had to say no. He was quite upset and immediately sent his friends a text saying 'I've just been snubbed by Thrappers'!  |
|
By:
We have reached the break at the end of Level 11 with 392 players still remaining...
Rajesh Modha went out just before the break, photo to follow... |

Rajesh had QQ in the BB, the cut off had shoved and raj called...
The flop brought an Ace and a Six and no Queen came on the turn or the river... Rajesh cam 412th for a cash of $1830  |
|
By:
Rune Jacobsen busted out with his very short stack in 386th for a cash of $2079...
 |
|
By:
Bjorn Arvidsson just doubled up to 41k.
He shoved from late with 66 and the Bb called with AT sooooted. All low cards gave Bjorn a straight and he is Bjorn again! (sigh) Eli 30k Harald 56k Michael Ortner 42k |
|
By:
The Boy Wonder Eli Heath exits in 244th for a cash of $2,703!
He was getting pretty short and was sat in the SB. The button shoves who only just has him covered, Eli tanks a bit and then calls and shows KJ. Unfortunately his oppo has AK and no Jack or miracle hits the board and it's goodnigh Eli.  |
|
By:
Bjorn Arvidsson exits in 241st for a cash of $2703!
He calls a raise with QJ and the board comes QT9. His oppo bets and he shoves all in. The oppo calls and shows AA. Bjorn is actually slight favourite at this point but the turn and river both miss him and he leaves us!  |
|
By:
We are now on the dinner break and just two Betfair players survive...
Harald Olsen and Michael Ortner are still battling away on 61k and 42k respectively!   |
|
By:
Michael Ortner exits in 214th for a cash of $3119.
He raises from the cut off with AQ, the button jams and after a small tank Michael calls. His oppo turns over JJ but a 379KT board means Michael leaves us... Must be noted that Michael is a true gentleman and has played some great poker! Picture taken two minutes before his demise!  |

By:
Harald Olsen is now the last Betfair player standing and has moved onto a healthy 70k...
180 players remain!!!  |
|
By:
164 left..
Harald has moved onto 105k. Every time I go back he has added chips, playing an absolute blinder!!! |
|
By:

    |

Last break of the day with two more levels to play.
Haral Olsen has moved onto 118k! |

|
By:
And the award for the scariest dealer goes to.....
 |
|
By:
Harald currently on around 105k with 115 left....
|
|
By:
Harald is now gaurranteed a top hundred finish as the field is now down to 94!
Current stack still around 100k. |
|
By:
A great little story...
Whilst Harald has been playing in Event 59 his girlfriend Lizzie  has been playing in a $1/$3 cash game for the last four hours. During the break we went to see how she was doing and she is up a mind boggling $1800!!! Even better Lizzie gets half of his tournament winnings and gets to keep all of her cash winnings!!   |
|
By:
Oh and Harald has moved onto 140k with 85 left.
The average stack is 154k!! |
|
By:
Interesting hand..
Blinds 3k/6k 500 ante, Harald raises UTG with TT. Big stack re-raises to 28k and Harald calls. Flop comes A 5 5. Harald checks and villain bets 40k and after much deliberation Harald folds This leaves him with a still ok 120k. |
|
By:
Play over for day 2 with 50 players left.
Shortly before the end Harald gets A9 suited in his BB and the shortstack with 60k has shoved. Haralf calls and the shorty shows AK. The AK holds up and Harald will come back tomorrow with only 42k. Goodnight all I will be back tomorrow! |
|
By:
Just in case Harald does not come back from being THE short stack, some Brit interest in this 1k - Jake Cody & George Bedi among others.
|
|
By:
Harald now back in action..
First round he shoves UTG for 34k and the CO+1 reshoves... Harald shows 33 and oppo AK the 569QT board sees Harald go to over 80k! |
|
By:
Harald in action first hand...
 |
|
By:
Three orbits go by and Harald manages a steal in each one to maintain his stack.
Then he is in cut off and mid position has min raised and Harald shoves with 99. His oppo tanks but calls the extra 60k and shows 9dTd. The flop is a scary JQ3 but a 5 and a 7 on turn and river see Harald move onto 175k!! |
|
By:
Blinds 6k/12k and Harald raises from mid position to 25k and the BB flats him.
Flop 887, BB min bets and Harald makes it 45k, BB shoves and Harald calls, he is in good shape J7 v 67. A 5 on the turn is very scary and an 8 on the river means choppy choppy so still on 180k |
|
By:
Fantastic hand.
Harald again raises to 25k, same oppo flats from BB flop AQ3 and both check. Turn Q and both check. River 7, oppo checks and harald bets 12k, oppo immediately shoves. Harald tanks for a whole 8 minutes until someone call clock on him, he gets to the 10 second countdown and calls on 2. He shows 63 and his opponent K2 so Harald makes a hero call and doubles up to over 300k! |
