Full House for Albrigtsen

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

Reido Sepp opened for 1,200 after the {2-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{5-Spades} before Ronny Albrigtsen raised to 2,950.

Sepp went into the tank for a minute before he called.

Albrigtsen bet 1,850 after the {2-Hearts} came on the turn and got a call from his opponent.

Both players quickly checked after the {9-Diamonds} appeared on the river. Albrigtsen turned over {7-Spades}{7-Diamonds} for a full house and fist-pumped into the air after his opponent tossed his hand into the muck.

Zemskov Out the Door with Pocket Aces

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante
Coolbet Open Main Event
Coolbet Open Main Event

Kirill Zemskov just became the first elimination of the Main Event. He got it all-in preflop with pocket aces against Daniel Schwensen with pocket kings in a 600 big blind pot.

Zemskov was looking good for a double up after all blanks appeared on the flop. A king spiked the turn to give Schwensen a set and Zemskov was unable to get one of the two remaining aces on the river to save his stack.

The big hand makes Schwensen the early chip leader with 62,000 in chips. Although Zemskov quickly left the tournament area after the hand, he can get back with the tournament allowing for unlimited reentries.
