Oh, Danny Boy!
With a board reading and a lot of chips in the pot, Dan Smith bet 5,000 only to have Dan Kelly move all in for 11,425. Smith tanked for a long time and seemed to be in pain. He held some chips in his hand as if he wanted to call, but then it looked as if he was going to fold.
Back and forth he went before finally making the call. Kelly showed 
for a pair of sevens, which was no good against Smith's .
"I was kind of hoping you would do that, then I got scared," Smith explained as he stacked his new chips.

Setting the Mood
Livello 8
: 300/600, 75 ante
The lamp hanging above Table 45, located in the far corner of the "Black" section, has just burned out, thus leaving Vicky Coren and her tablemates in semi-darkness. The tournament director came over to take them to a new table, but the players objected, saying they could still see just fine. And so they remain.
Coren at least might well prefer the shadows as providing a more suitable ambience for poker. In her memoir For Richer, For Poorer, she wrote of how she was "drawn to poker by [the game's] sordid romance," including "the dark history, the whispering corners" that characterize the game's long, colorful story.
Coren has done well in that seat today, having built her stack up over 90,000. Perhaps another reason for her to wish to remain in that dark corner.
Team PokerStars Pro (France) Grospellier in the Field
An under-the-gun player, who we'll call "UTG," raised to 1,525 and Team PokerStars Pro (France) Bertrand Grospellier, who we'll call "ElkY," made the call from the small blind. It was heads up to the 
flop, which ElkY checked. UTG bet 1,800, ElkY called, and both players checked the 
turn.
When the hit the river, ElkY lead out for 3,200, UTG raised to 30,000, and the Frenchman folded. Many may recall Grospellier as rising to fame in Europe, largely on the European Poker Tour (EPT). To learn more about the EPT, check out www.europeanpokertour.com or go ahead and visit PokerStars.
