Rush for de Jong

Level 23 : 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Over on the outer table, Cornelis de Jong was involved in a three-bet pot out of the big blind against Ricardo Pinto on the button. De Jong check-raised the {a-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{3-Diamonds} turn and led the {3-Spades} river for 135,000. Pinto used two time banks and sigh-called, but mucked when de Jong turned over {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}.

One hand later, a battle of the blinds emerged between de Jong and fellow 888pokeer qualifier Laszlo-Istvan Salamon. On the {k-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} turn, de Jong bet and Salamon called. De Jong bet the {5-Spades} river for 55,000 and he called the raise to 155,000 by Salamon, who turned over {j-Hearts}{8-Clubs}. De Jong had that beat with the {k-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} and scooped another pot.

Level 23 : 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Frederik De Linde Farrington
Frederik De Linde Farrington

After paying off a value bet by Samuel Hernandez, who had {q-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} on a board of {q-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{4-Spades}, Frederik De Linde Farrington open-shoved the button for the last 225,000. Martin Jacobson asked for a count in the big blind and made the call.

Frederik De Linde Farrington: {k-Spades}{7-Clubs}
Martin Jacobson: {j-Clubs}{9-Clubs}

The {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{6-Spades} flop gave Jacobson trips nines and Farrington needed running cards for a straight. The {5-Diamonds} turn was a start, but the {4-Spades} river brought no miracle.
