Flying solo…

NEWS JUST IN!!

Shortly before the break Red Kings player Toni Ojala glanced down to see “Cowboys” waving back at him. Some pre-flop action ensued and the friendly Finn was all in against PokerStars professional, Alexander Kravchenko. Toni flips over his K♠ K♦ and Alex shows 6♠ 6♥ . Toni’s 80% ahead…nice position to be in! The flop fires out “blank blank blank”. Tonai os now over 90% favourite to take this pot. A beautiful place to be…until the turn. The dealer shows a streak of evil and hands Alex a 6♦ ! Alex now has a set of 6′s…the hand of the devil! Soul destroying for Toni. He’s right up against it now. There’s 2 Kings left in the deck and if the Red Kings player doesn’t hit one, his chase for EPT glory is over. The river is turned over painfully slow to all those cheering for Toni…”blank”. It’s all over.

That leaves the young Hungarian Csaba Tóth flying solo with a 33k stack. The break is just about over and the blinds will be a hefty 500/1000 with a 100 ante. There’s only 61 people left…

…Insane action here at Day 2!!
