Christer Not Almighty After All

Moments after doubling up, Christer Johansson did the exact opposite and busted out.

He, Yevgeniy Timoshenko and Sandor Demjan saw a {5-Spades} {2-Hearts} {A-Diamonds} flop and Demjan checked. Timoshenko bet 3,600 and Demjan tried to call before Johansson had acted; in the event he lost nothing as Johansson merely flatted, Demjan's chips stayed in the pot and all three saw a turn.

The turn was the {K-Spades} and Demjan checked again. Timoshenko now checked behind, and Johansson bet 6,800, leaving himself 15,000 behind. Demjan folded but Timoshenko announced all in. Johansson called very swiftly, and they were on their backs.

Johansson: {A-Hearts} {K-Clubs} for two pair
Timoshenko: {5-Clubs} {5-Diamonds} for a set

River: {9-Hearts}

The two shook hands in most gentlemanly fashion, and we are down an Irish Open champion.

Knaves for Liu

Eric Liu raised it up to 2,400 in middle position only for James Keys to reraise to 8,500 from the small blind. Liu called, before both players checked down a {7-Spades}{K-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}, Liu taking it down with {J-Diamonds}{J-Spades} versus what appeared to be {10-Clubs}{8-Clubs}.

Caught in Anette

On a {10-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{J-Hearts} board, Annette Obrestad check-called a bet of 5,000 before checking down the {3-Diamonds} and winning with {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}. Her opponent mucked, meaning Obrestad now has close to the 100,000 mark.

Akkari Vs. Esfandiari

A curious hand took place on the table buried in the corner upstairs.

Antonio Esfandiari raised to 3,300 from the cutoff and Andre Akkari called from the button to see a {9-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds} {10-Clubs} flop, which they both checked.

They saw a {5-Spades} turn which Esfandiari liked enough to bet out 6,500; Akkari called and they saw a river.

The river was the {4-Spades} and now Esfandiari bet out an indeterminate sum in the region of 15-25,000; however much it was, though, it was too much for Akkari. He folded, and the pot headed to Esfandiari.
