Kristijonas Andrulis Elimianted in 23rd Place (80,000 DKK)

Under the gun plus one, Magnus Borg Hansen came in raising. When the table folded around to small blind Kristijonas Andrulis, he moved his short stack all in, and Hansen instantly called.

Showdown
Hansen: {A-Clubs} {A-Diamonds}
Andrulis: {K-Clubs} {K-Diamonds}

Oof. You could feel Andrulis' pain as he stood from the table and shook his head slowly back and forth. The dealer would refuse to give him any help on a board of {9-Clubs} {7-Diamonds} {10-Spades} {9-Spades} {9-Diamonds}. With that, the Lithuanian becomes our 23rd-place finisher, taking 80,000 DKK for his efforts.

Wigg Sees Right Through Teng

First in from the cutoff seat, Andrew Teng made a raise to 28,000. Anton Wigg was on the button with a similarly sizable stack, and he three-bet it up to 92,000. The blinds folded, and Teng began reaching for chips. The ol' four-bet came next, Teng adding another 103,000 on top of the reraise for a total bet of 195,000. Without much hesitation, Wigg announced an all-in five-bet, and Teng's cards quickly hit the muck.

As Wigg collected the pot, he flashed the {4-Hearts}, drawing no reaction from Teng. As the next hand was in play, though, the two men began to talk poker talk.

"I'm never that spewy," said Wigg. "I don't usually do that with ace-four. But I know you're going to fold the first time every time."

Teng said something quietly in reply, and Wigg disagreed. "No. Pretty transparent."

It figures to be a tough day for Teng, out of position against the aggressive Wigg. In case he wasn't aware, Wigg added one final comment before closing the conversation: "I'm going to play back at you a lot."

Janne Nevalainen Eliminated in 21st Place (80,000 DKK)

Morten Guldhammer raised to 26,000 in early position, and action came around to small blind Janne Nevalainen. The Finn had 220,000 chips left in front of him, and he moved them all into the middle right there. Guldhammer asked for a count before making the quick call.

Showdown
Guldhammer: {J-Hearts} {Q-Clubs}
Nevalainen: {10-Spades} {J-Spades}

The flop was a great sweat as it came out {4-Clubs} {Q-Spades} {8-Spades}, giving Nevalainen a double draw to work with. The {8-Clubs} on the turn was a blank, though, and so was the {8-Diamonds} that filled out the board. Despite a promising flop, Nevalainen can't beat a full house, and he's made his exit in 21st place.

Guldhammer Finding This Easy

Mr. Guldhammer
Mr. Guldhammer
Morten Guldhammer bet out on the {3-Spades} {9-Spades} {4-Clubs} flop and then called a raise from Roberto Romanello.

They saw a {J-Hearts} turn and this time Guldhammer bet an amount that we think was all in, although very restricted access to the tournament area means that we can't always tell bet amounts. Either way, Romanello folded and the extremely excitable Guldhammer threw his {K-Spades} {J-Clubs} down on the table. We understand that he shouted something in Scandie that translates roughly as, "Who says poker is a difficult game?" Maybe someone's had too much sugar today...

Fohrenbach Slides

We arrived to witness Ricky Fohrenbach (hijack) betting out on a {4-Diamonds} {A-Spades} {3-Hearts} flop; Andrew Teng (cutoff) called.

At this point someone went all in on the TV table (details to follow) so we lost track of the action briefly, but when we returned the pot had become huge and a {Q-Spades} turn and {4-Clubs} river had completed the board. The cards were flipped and Fohrenbach could only boast {K-Clubs} {10-Clubs}. Teng's {5-Clubs} {5-Spades} were good enough to win the pot, and Fohrenbach is reduced to 300,000.

Vollers Not Eliminated in Any Place Yet (Zero DKK)

Up on the TV table, Steven Vollers shoved from the small blind and Richard Loth called in the big blind. On their backs, and it wasn't looking good for the all-in player.

Vollers: {8-Diamonds} {9-Clubs}
Loth: {K-Clubs} {9-Hearts}

Board: {7-Spades} {A-Hearts} {Q-Clubs} {7-Hearts} {Q-Hearts}

"A round of applause please for Steven who finishes the tournament..." started Thomas Kremser before realising it was a split pot.

"Please welcome Steven back to the table," announced Kremser, not missing a beat.

Henrik Junker Eliminated in 20th Place (80,000 DKK)

Roberto Romanello opened to 26,000 from the cutoff seat, and Henrik Junker would give him some action from the small blind. Junker slid out a reraise to 68,000, and Romanello quickly made the call.

Heads up, the two men saw a flop of {7-Spades} {Q-Spades} {9-Clubs}. Junker stacked out a healthy bet of 104,000 and continued out into the pot with that amount. Romanello quickly and firmly announced, "I'm all in," in that catchy Welsh accent, and Junker couldn't have called any quicker.

"I guess you have me then," was Romanello's astute conclusion. Indeed, his {A-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs} was in a rough shape against Junker's {K-Clubs} {K-Hearts}. "Bad day..." added Romanello, trailing off.

The {10-Hearts} on the turn kept Junker ahead, but it did give his opponent four more outs to the gutshot and the knockout. But Romanello would not need those particular outs. The {Q-Diamonds} peeled off on the river, improving the Welshman to the winning trips and securing a frustrating 20th-place finish for Junker.

Romanello apologized in as heartfelt of a manner as any poker player could muster, but Junker remained quiet. As he prepared to make his exit, Romanello tried again, standing up and offering up another, "Really sorry, man." It didn't look malicious, but Junker was too steamed to even shake Romanello's hand, and he made his way off to the payout desk.

Romanello appears to have regained the chip lead with about 1.5 million. Full counts are coming on the break.
