Team veteran samsampson just had a great session to join fellow veteran MickeMusxxx at the top end of the chip count. samsampson actually got a bit of luck to be sitting so pretty, when he took down a huge pot with runner runner straight. All the chips went in on a Q♠6♣7♠ flop with samsampson behind with T♥T♠ up agaisnt A♠Q♣ and K♦Q♦. samsampson hit his runner runner 9♠ 8♥ to not only stay alive, but shoot up to over 50,000 in chips. Great to see such a nice guy getting a bit of luck when he needed it!

MickeMusxxx is now 57,000 in chips and is having a great battle with Austrian pro Markus Golser. During the last break MickeMusxxx told us that he thought Golser was a strong player, but that he he had earned his respect after taking down a few big pots against the Austrian.
The battle between the two players started early in the day when MickeMusxxx was able to bluff Golser off a big pot. The hand started with MickeMusxxx limping in from EP and getting to see a flop of 7♦7♦9♠ with three other players. The action was checked to Golser who threw out 300 and everyone called. With a T♣ on the turn, the action was again checked to Golser who this time bet out 1150.
MickeMusxxx was the only caller and then with a blank on the river MickeMussxxx again checked the action to Golser. Golser made it 3000 this time, only for MickeMusxxx to bump it up to 9000. Golser was super surprised by Micke's move and folded his hand saying "I didn't expect that". MickMusxxx turned over Q♦J♦ revealing his bluff and announced "Game on" to Golser. "Game on" Golser replied.
- Game On!
