Norwegian Anders Langset raises with pocket tens, Thor Hansen reraises with A-K, Langset pushes and Hansen calls for that age old race. There are no surprises and nothing of interest on the flop and Hansen goes out in 17th place for €16,371.

Hansen's A Nielsen takes a small hit, but Hansen only needs a little more ammo to unleash some havoc on this feature table.

In terms of poker, like a great wine, Thor Hansen seems to get better with age. He was born on June 23, 1947 in Oslo, Norway, but currently resides in El Segundo, California. He has been cashing in major tournaments since 1988. That same year, he won his first World Series of Poker bracelet in a $5,000 seven-card stud event. Years later, in 2002, he won another bracelet in a $1,500 ace-to-five lowball event. Hansen is known for his ability to play all variations of poker at a very high skill level.

Level 9B Recap Part 1Jul 11, '07 639 players returned from the dinner break on 71 tables, and after it was announced that they would play only this level and an hour and twenty minutes into the next before play was stopped for the day, many of those players must have taken this to mean turn on the gas.No Agony Just Yet Michael McClain 2004 Main Event 9th place finisher is more widely known for being the player immortalized as the "Agony of Defeat" as his infamous pout was replayed on all telecasts of the 2003 World Series Poker on ESPN. McClain is currently a short stack, and got a reprieve when he was able to sniff out a river bluff by his opponent and double up. With the board reading J 6 2 9 2 , McClain's opponent bet $30,000 which more than covered his remaining chips. McClain announced, "I think your weak here," and made the call. His opponent showed K Q , and McClain showed 9 8 for the win. We won't be seeing McClain's agony face just yet.I'll See Your 56 And Raise You 25 Table 56 was already impressive, but with the addition of one more notable player, it truly becomes worth mentioning. Two poker's old guard are seated alongside, two of the up-and-coming young internet players. In seat 1 Hans "Tuna" Lund sets up shop, while seated across in seats 4-6 are Thor Hansen, Carl "colson" Olson, and Jon "PearlJammer" Turner. So far no large confrontations have occured, but there's plenty of play left tonight. This table is nothing compared to Table 25 which features 3 of the players in the top 5 in chips in tournament. The most recent addition to the table is Sorel "ImperIum" Mizzi, who was recently seen struggling to carry 6 full racks over to the stacked table (albeit 3 of these racks are black chips). He greats the Great Dane Gus Hansen in seat 7, and PokerStars Supernova Hevad "RaiNKhaN" Khan, both who are nursing huge chip stacks. Currently two ESPN cameras, about 5 media reporters, and the kitchen sink are camped out around the table waiting for some fireworks. John Murphy Loses Freeroll Action is folded around to John Murphy who raises from late position to $6,000. Seat 7 reraises all in for $30,000 from the cutoff. Seat 1 raises to $60,000 from the big blind to isolate, but Murphy then moves all in over the top for about $180,000. Seat 1 folds Q Q face up, and Chip Jett commends him for a good fold, but then Murphy flips up A K , while Seat 7 holds 5 5 . The board runs out 8 6 5 6 3 , and Seat 7 manages to double up, while Murphy ends up almost where he started the hand.Dario Wins Big PokerStars wunderkind Dario Minieri collected a huge pot after his pocket Kings were outflopped. Mineri pushed all in over the top of Seat 2's raise on the flop of Q 10 9 with K K , and was called fairly quickly, elicting a frustrated response from Mineri, as he was behind Seat 2's Q 9 . The turn caught Mineri up quick as the J peeled off giving him the straight. The J on the river was not enough to save Seat 2 and he was eliminated sending well over $100,000 to Mineri.Notable Chip Counts
