As i was taking chip counts i encountered a few interesting hands, Rory rhees Brennan moved all-in in early position, it folds to the blinds who think and then fold, rory takes in the chips, only 5,000 and is gone 20 mins later when i go the see if he is doing any better, Demyan Shcheglov moves all-in over a raise from early position, he is short stacked and insta-called by Peter Murphy, the origional raiser, Demyan shows As4c but Peters AQh is much stronger especially when the board helps no-one. Frank Dunleavy's untimely exit from the tournament peaked my interest as to what happened, i found him playin a satellite for tomorrow, as he was telling me how his aces got cracked by a set, conor ainsworth who was also playing the satellite moved all-in over Eugene "the machine" raise, Eugene calls quickly and shows aa, conor shows 55 and goes for the "putting on the jacket" trick and sure enough a 5 in the window, the dealer wasnt finished as the last 5 comes out on the river, sick hand even if only for a side event. On another table Dennis Hansen moves all in with 99, he is called by Eric Levesque with AQs, 9 on the flop with no spades and no straight draws and Dennis doubles up!!
