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.

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.

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-}.

A couple of Quick Updates

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Steve O'Dwyer found the next gear once again to bump up his stack and Raoul Refos four-bet against chip leader Martin Finger to enforce a fold. Anton Wigg is back up to starting stack whereas Jussi Nevanlinna doubled up.

The hijack had opened to 2,200 and Nevanlinna flat-called from the button before an opponent behind him squeezed to 8,200. The initial raiser folded but the Finn moved all in for 27,400 with the {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}. His opponent called with {A-}{J-} and the board {9-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds} was little reason to worry.

Avramidis Scores Big Double

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Arriving on the river of a board {9-Clubs}{3-Spades}{3-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{4-Clubs}, Fatih Aydin had bet what looked like 12,000 and Makarios Avramidis moved all in for 64,000. Aydin tanked for some time and then called to show {K-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}, ending up second best to the {10-Spades}{10-Clubs} of the Greek.

Hawkins Busts

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
Keith Hawkins
Keith Hawkins

Another player has hit the rail in Keith Hawkins. The Brit was all in with pocket eights for his stack of 12 big blinds and Floris van der Ven looked him up with the {J-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}. The flop came {J-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} and no running eights appeared anymore to send the Brit to the rail.

Leathem Busts van Zijp

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Danny van Zijp defended his big blind against the raise of Andrew Leathem and then got his stack in after a flop of {4-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{6-Spades}. The {K-Hearts}{10-Hearts} of the Dutchman needed help against Leathem's {2-Spades}{2-Clubs} for bottom set, but the board filled up with the {A-Diamonds} turn and {3-Clubs} river instead.

O'Dwyer in Many Hands

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

The last table downstairs is mostly being dominated by the action of Steve O'Dwyer. Robert Buky had lost most of his chips earlier and just now doubled with {A-Clubs}{9-Hearts} versus {A-Spades}{7-Clubs} but it is unclear when the last 12,100 chips went in after a board of {6-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{8-Spades}{9-Clubs}{7-Hearts}.

The small setback didn't last long though, because O'Dwyer called down a bluff by Donald Rae to get back up.
