Peter Jaksland
Peter Jaksland

Cate Hall raised to 4,200 and Catalin Pop three-bet to 11,000 from one seat over. The action folded to Peter Jaksland and the Dane moved all in for 29,000 in the small blind. Hall reshoved and Pop quickly folded.

Cate Hall: {K-Spades}{K-Clubs}
Peter Jaksland: {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}

After the {9-Spades}{8-Spades}{2-Spades} flop, Jaksland stated "I am out" and already left his chair and grabbed the belongings. The miracle never happened with the {Q-Clubs} turn and {5-Clubs} river, and Jaksland headed to the rail.

Serrano's Miracle

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Of all the ways to make 250,000 chips, Rodrigo Serrano may have chosen the absolute hardest route, but somehow, he got there.

Pre-flop, Serrano was in first position and made it 3,500 to go. Antonio Carica Sastre called in the next seat, but when the play was folded round to Liudmila Mitanova, who raised all-in for 75,000. Serrano moved all-in himself for a little more still, but behind him, Sastre called it off!

Liudmila Mitanova: {A-Spades}{K-Spades}
Rodrigo Serrano: {K-Hearts}{K-Clubs}
Antonio Garcia Sastre: {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs}

An incredible set of hands, but the drama was only beginning. To gasps from the massed throng on the rail, the flop came {J-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{K-Diamonds} , giving a gobsmacked Serrano a miracle set with the case king. The turn was the {4-Diamonds} and the river {3-Spades}, meaning Serrano made a miracle full house and victory at the expense of two players.

"This is such a joke!" muttered a disgruntled Sastre as he walked out. Serrano had the ultimate punchline right there.

Joining the action on the {J-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{5-Hearts} flop, the small blind bet and William Kassouf raised to 21,000 from the button. The small blind then moved all in for 79,400 and Kassouf started his usual table talk.

"You have top pair and the flush draw, right?"

No reaction followed and Kassouf then asked "do you want me to call?" Again there was no reaction and Kassouf eventually called with the superior stack.

Small blind: {Q-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}
William Kassouf: {J-Spades}{9-Spades}

"Brick brick please," Kassouf demanded and both the {4-Spades} turn and {6-Clubs} river were exactly that.
