Ok, the feed is back up from which we deduce that play is within minutes of resuming. Please stand by...

While the players were being re-announced in case anyone had forgotten them during the dinner break ("NOAAAAHHHH BOEKEEENNNNNNNNNN!" "WOOOOOOOO!!!"), this lovely trophy plate and a bunch of flowers appeared in the monitor. Go, plate!

The Dalai Lama was your high school teacher?

Things are happening...

Trond Eidsvig changes tack and limps preflop, as does small blind McDonald.  Big blind Noah Boeken checks.

Flop:  td ::  Triple check (which I believe when mixed with tequila and lime makes a margarita)
Turn:  ::  Now Tristan McDonald bets out 45k, Boeken folds and Eidsvig calls.
River:  ::  Quick check from both players.  McDonald turns his hand over - I think it was     for a middly pair which was good.

No, Laxie went to school in Heathrow Secondary.

Tristan button-raises, but lays it down when Noah re-raises him.

[Laxie]

None of the above...although it all sounds much better than reality.  lol

Ms Gruppen of the casino has just appeared out of nowhere like a happy drinks elf, and handed out two free drinks vouchers to all the press. This has considerably brightened our final table. Thanks!

[Laxie]

Sorted!!!  Good woman that Ms Gruppen is.

Pot between Noah Boeken and Micke Norinder (mainly):

Threeway to a King-high flop (K-5-6 I think) with McDonald and Boeken in the blinds and Norinder on the button.  Norinder bet the flop (I am going to say 60k) which was called by Boeken only.  Norinder announced all-in before the cameras really got to the turn card, but this was a big decision for the young elaborate hoodied player.  He didn"t look at all happy about it as he passed and was shown the bare   by Norinder whose stack is pretty comfortable while Noah remains the short stack.

Micke limps in to see a  kc jd :: flop along with blinds Noah and Michael. He bets it, and they both fold.




Then another flop is seen, this one by Michael and Tristan -  td jc

Michael bets it, and Tristan moves all in. Michael asks for a count, but then sort of rolls his eyes and folds.

HUGE hand changes the geography of one corner of the table massively...

Michael Martin limps on the button, starting off this whole large chain reaction.  Small blind Trond Eidsvig limps too and Micke Norinder checks.

Flop:   ::
Trond checked, Micke bet out 25k, called by Trond while Michael got out of the way.
Turn:    Now this might not have looked too devastating a card, but it brought a check-raise all in from Trond after Micke put a chunky 200k bet in.  Call!

Trond showed:  th  which must have made Micke"s heart sink as he showed:   .
River:  jc  And covering his opponent by just around 150k, Micke propelled the young Norwegian back up to the dominating stack he had at the beginning of the day.
