Williams' Bluff against Koren Fails

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Artur Koren raised to 2,300 and Frank Williams three-bet to 6,600 out of the big blind, which Koren called. On the flop {J-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}, Williams continued for 6,700 and Koren called before they checked the {K-Diamonds} on the turn. The {K-Hearts} river let Williams fire 12,300 with the {4-Clubs}{2-Clubs} and Koren called to win the pot with {K-}{Q-}.

Jansma's Aces get Cracked

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Quite a big pot had emerged until the {8-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{5-Spades}{9-Spades} turn and Ilari Sahamies moved all in for his last 14,200. Jan Jansma reluctantly called and was then ready to muck his {A-Hearts}{A-Spades} when he got shown {8-Clubs}{5-Hearts} for a flopped full house. The {J-Spades} river blanked and Sahamies got a full double up.

Nine-Handed as soon as Possible

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

The action of Day 2 started ten-handed and will soon switch to nine-handed as players are sent to the rail in the upcoming minutes and hours. Once the last two tables from downstairs break, the entire field will be upstairs in two split tournament areas as well.

Only Two More Tables Downstairs

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

The table of Julian Stuer, Daniel Dvoress, Richard Milne, Jasper Wetemans and Jasper Meijer just broke to leave two tables downstairs, of which plenty of talent is represented. Morten Mortensen, Juha Helppi, Jean Montury, Noah Boeken and Steve O'Dwyer share table 8 while table 10 features Johan van Til, Przemyslaw Piotrowski, Joep van den Bijgaart, Tom Hall and Omer Cubukcu.

Killeen Gets it in Ahead; Busts

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

"I had the dream spot, ace-king against ace-queen for a 55k pot," Kevin Killeen said on the stairs while chatting with Ludovic Geilich. The Scot had also busted early on and both shared some bad beats and setups before heading into different directions.

It was the {A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} of Farid Yachou and Killeen's {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts}, though Yachou had made a flush on the turn to send his opponent to the rail.

Geilich Gone

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

In a three-bet pot, Jans Arends and Ludovic Geilich headed to a ten-high flop and a continuation bet was called. A king on the turn got checked through and the queen on the river gave a four-card straight. Geilich had made a full house with queens and shoved only for Arends to snap him off with kings for the higher full house.

Ben Haim and Choukri Among Early Eliminations

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Rachid Choukri was eliminated right off the bat and Menny Ben Haim followed soon after. He shoved for his 12 big blind stack with the {A-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} and Chin Sin Chang reraised with the {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs} to isolate successfully. The board ran out {2-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{10-Hearts} and Chang's nut flush scored the knockout.
