Howard Can It Be To Win a Race?

Gregory Howard is busto after raising Will Kassouf all-in preflop. The blinds are only 150/300, and Kassouf had invested 3k so I am going to assume that this was a fourbet all-in. Kassouf dwelled for a while before making the call - which I reckon there's no way wouldn't have been made in the end - with Ah-Kh. Howard held 8c 8h. Sometimes one's execution is immediate - the Ac was the first visible card out on the flop, and although there were four more gutshot straight outs by the river for Howard, it bricked and he headed for the rail.

I have also discovered another pocket of Scandinavians nestled in the middle of the room. I noticed Warren Wooldridge raising preflop, called in one spot only to be re-raised by Kenneth Strandli. Erik Backlund called the rr, but Wooldridge folded.
Flop: 7s-2h-Th. Both players checked. The turn was the 2d - Strandli checked, Backlund bet 3,500 and got a fold with the minimum of fuss. One for Sweden vs. Norway...

In critical shape now is Hans Varsi, after Kevin Jenkins got it all-in (narrowly covered by Varsi) with A-K vs. A-A on a King-high disconnected flop. The turn was another rag, but a third King popped out on the river sending Jenkins up to 16k and Varsi down to 1k...

Not as critical as Derek Williams and Graham Wheldon though, who are both OUT.
