Christensen Opens Lead

Simon Ravnsbaek opened from under the gun to 5,100 and the action folded all the way around to Stig Christensen in the small blind and he three-bet to 12,200. Ravnsbaek called and it was heads up to the flop.

Flop: {A-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} - Christensen checked, Ravnsbaek fired a bet of 7,700 and Christensen called.

Turn: {K-Clubs} - Christensen checked, Ravnsbaek fired again making it 15,800 and again Christensen called.

River: {2-Clubs} - Christensen checked for a third time but Ravnsbaek had done enough betting and he checked it back.

Christensen showed {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs} for a set of tens and Ravnsbaek tossed his cards to the dealer.

Record Extending 21st Cash Looking Unlikely for Pagano

Luca Pagano
Luca Pagano

Luca Pagano is very good, normally, at surviving these stages of a tournament to secure a cash. He was just crippled to five big blinds though and there was very little he could've done about it.

He and Robert Beer got their chips in pre flop in a pot worth more than 160k.

Pagano: {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}
Beer: {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}

The board ran {6-Spades}{6-Hearts}{10-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{4-Spades} to make the German a full house. The Team PokerStars Pro was not a happy bunny.

Petersen Starts Shoving

Mickey Petersen
Mickey Petersen

Mickey Petersen is quite short stacked right now and has started to move all-in in an attempt to pick up some much needed chips.

Just now the action folded to the Team PokerStars Pro and he moved all in for 44,600. Nobody wanted to tussle with him and he took back his bet and picked up the blinds and antes.

A Trio of Hands

  • Grzegorz Cichocki raised to 5,200 in the hijack seat and Lauri Varonen called on the button. The flop was {Q-Hearts} {7-Hearts} {3-Spades} and Cichocki c-bet to the tune of 7,200. Varonen counted out a raise of 20,500 and moved them over the line and Cichocki glanced at the clock before folding his hand.
  • Keld Volquardsen raised to 7,000 in first position and after the cut off called Simon Ravnsbaek three-bet from the big blind making it 23,800 to play. Volquardsen four-bet to 62,000, the cutoff folded and after a while in the tank so did Ravnsbaek.
  • Stig Christensen raised to 5,700 in the cutoff and Ravnsbaek defended his big blind. The flop was {K-Hearts} {7-Clubs} {6-Clubs} and Ravnsbaek check-called a 7,000 Christensen bet. The same pattern ensued on the {6-Hearts} turn, this time for 11,000, before both players checked at the sight of the {4-Diamonds} on the river. When the cards were turned over Ravnsbaek realised he could have gotten himself in all sorts of trouble had a club hit the board.

Molby Trips Up Opponent

Jan Molby was sat in the small blind, deep in thought as to what to do, fiddling with his chips all the while. Aage Ravn had opened to 5,100 and Molby had 34,000 in front of him. Decision made; all-in. Snap call and hands on their backs.

Molby: {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}
Ravn: {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}

Molby was in deep trouble but found a way out of it through the {k-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{k-Hearts} board. Trips will do it.
