From WCOOP to APPT . . . The Mads 'moumaife84' Smith-Hansen Story
With a raise to 39,600, moumaife84 made the call from the button to see a flop fall and Tjollerboy fire out a 43,600 continuation-bet.
moumaife84 then pushed out a raise of 111,111 only to have Tjollerboy bump it to 864,000 to effectively put moumaife84 all in, and following a slight delay, moumaife84 made the call for his 348,205.

The turn and river landed the and to see moumaife84 eliminated by Tjollerboy's turned straight.
Errrr . . . you may be wondering what exactly we're talking about because surely someone doesn't have over a million chips so early in the tournament.
Well, one of the PokerStars Player's from Cyprus out of Denmark was a registered participant in today's flight.
However Mads 'moumaife84' Smith-Hansen was a no show as the tournament began, and after talking to his brother and doing some research of our own, it was discovered that Smith-Hansen was running deep in the WCOOP Event 28: $1,050 No Limit Holdem (Two-Day).
That deep run - as you can see from the above hand - ended in 11th place for a $12,610.40 payday, which is just a few places shy of the final table and the potential $230,000 first prize payout.
Smith-Hansen may not be able to collect that same amount for first here in Auckland, but after just taking his seat behind his 11,100-chip stack, Smith-Hansen will no doubt have the confidence to give it a red hot crack as he looks to record same-day PokerStars tournament cashes!
