Join us here at PokerNews.com tomorrow at 2pm local time, when we'll be back at the Alpine Palace Hotel for the €100+10 No-Limit Hold'em with Bounties. Until then, good night from Saalbach-Hinterglemm!
Mark Vos had been joking about running the clock down so his opponent would have to pay a bigger big blind, but he didn't have to in the end. With Stephan Inhester limping from the button, Vos dwelt for a few moments before announcing, "I will raise, 99,000."

On the
flop, Gandrup checked, Vos bet 30,000, Rasmus announced "All in," and just as quickly, Vos made the call.Vos =
