It seems that Manuel Jimenez Cecilia check-called a bet from Dominykas Karmazinas on the flop and then check-min-raised another bet on the turn.
So there was around 70,000 in the pot by the river, when Cecilia bet out 25,000. Karmazinas called - but his face sank like a lead zeppelin when Cecilia turned over for flopped quads. He showed pocket eights, and is down to 100,000 while the Spaniard moves on up to 150,000.
"Spanish power," declared a completely unbiased member of the Spanish media. Indeed.
Enormous excitement as JP Kelly moved in on a flop and was called by Tobias Reinkemeier - closely followed by vague disappointment, from a spectator's point of view anyway, as both players turned over with nary a club in sight, and following an uneventful turn and river they chopped it up.
Kelly - 35,000
Reinkemeier - 70,000
By the by, Reinkemeier was telling a tale of woe while this was all taking place.
"I asked a waitress for a coffee and she said it was 50c, but she needed the money in advance. I asked her why, she said she needed the change, so I gave her a euro. Then she never came back."
On a board reading , we just caught the final betting actions. After a check from Jan Skampa, Allan Baekke bet 22,500 into a pot of about 40,000. Skampa went deep into the tank for several minutes before double-checking his hole cards. Finally, he grabbed his stack of about 45,000 chips and slid them forward. Baekke could not have folded any quicker, and Skampa earns himself a nice pot.
He's up to about 110,000 after that all-Scandinavian battle.
Despite earlier laying down a set in a hand that would have made him a massive chip leader on over 350,000, online qualifier Matthew Nieberg has rallied and is now, er, massive chip leader on over 350,000.
Jesus Sanchez, who apparently qualified in his local card room for €50, is having a marvellous time.
Having knocked out Barny Boatman earlier to put him on a very decent stack, he just now got himself involved in a massive hand with British online qualifier Matthew Nieberg.
We caught up with the action on the river, the board reading and around 60,000 in the pot already. Nieberg in the small blind position thought about it for a while before checking; after some time thinking about it, Sanchez bet 44,000 from the button.
"That's why I should bet," sighed Nieberg, "That's looking like a terrible river check from me now."
He dwelled up for what seemed like a million years. "Show me if I fold?" he asked eventually. "Nope," was the very decisive answer from Sanchez. Nieberg sighed and disappeared into the tank again. He counted out the call - no feeling sorry for him, as a call would still leave him on over 200,000! - but continued to tank. Eventually he called the clock on himself. The dealer thought he was joking, but he wasn't.
"I don't see why you'd call twice," he muttered, offering a tantalizing glimpse of how that pre-river action went down. Eventually he folded.
"If you had a straight I was beat," he said as the pot went Sanchez' way, "I had a set." Sanchez declined to reveal what he'd had, but was spotted giggling with a member of the Spanish media a little later. Curious.
Sanchez - 160,000
Nieberg - even without that pot, looking to be our current chip leader on over 250,000
