At Least 350 Players in Today's Field

Level 6 : 200/400, 400 ante

We don't have an exact count anymore as far as how big today's Day 1b field is yet, but it is safe to say that there are at least 350 entrants with 324 unique entries confirmed along with many players reentering.

Albertsen Increases His Massive Stack with a Set

Level 6 : 200/400, 400 ante

Mats Albertsen bet 16,000 into a pot of around 25,000 with the board reading {2-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}.

Olli Vahala paused for a minute before he made the call. Albertsen turned over {8-Spades}{8-Hearts} for a rivered set and Vahala was shaking his head while tossing his hand into the muck.

Berg Picks a Bad Time to Bluff and is Out (and In) Again

Level 5 : 150/300, 300 ante

Thomas Berg reentered and was moved to a new table. His next bullet didn't last long.

Berg jammed for about 17,000 with about 20,000 in the pot on a {2-Spades}{9-Hearts}{a-Spades}{5-Clubs} board. Tommi Tapio wasted no time and made the call.

Thomas Berg: {K-Hearts}{10-Spades}
Tommi Tapio: {5-Diamonds}{5-Spades}

Berg started laughing after the call and immediately took cash out of his pocket asking for a reentry before the {9-Spades} came on the turn to complete the hand.

Berg is back in the same seat and is visibly having a good time chatting away with others at his table.

Kettula Eliminates Berg

Level 5 : 150/300, 300 ante

Torsti Kettula is on his second bullet of the day and seems like things are going better for the Finn.

Thomas Berg three-bet jammed for about 20,000 preflop with {5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} into two players. The first player folded before Kettula called.

Thomas Berg: {5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}
Torsti Kettula: {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades}

Berg was behind preflop and the {6-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} flop reduced his chances further.

The {k-Diamonds} on the turn gave Berg a flush but he was also drawing dead at this point with his opponent holding a higher flush.

The {q-Spades} completed the board on the river and Berg was eliminated. Berg can get back into the action with reentries available until the late-registration period closes after the end of the first level on Day 2.

Franksson Delivers a Massive Cooler to Lindsholm

Level 4 : 100/200, 200 ante

[Removed:109] shared with his table that today is his first time playing in a live poker tournament. So far, so good for Franksson as he just delivered a massive cooler to Line Lindsholm.

Franksson thought he was opening up to 500 from early position when he tossed out a single chip only to be informed that a single chip meant he was calling the big blind of 200.

Two players called before Lindsholm raised to 800 from the big blind. Franksson then three-bet to 1,900. The action folded back to Lindsholm who made the call.

Lindsholm check-called for 2,000 after the flop came {3-}{3-}{k-}. She then led out for 3,000 after the {q-} appeared on the turn.

Lindsholm fired out for 5,000 after the {A-} appeared on the river before calling a jam from Franksson that covered the rest of her stack of around 15,000.

Franksson rivered the nuts holding {A-}{A-} for top set and Lindsholm left the tournament area after turning over {Q-}{Q-} for a lower set.

Two Pair Good Enough on a Wet Board for Foss

Level 4 : 100/200, 200 ante

Joonas Salminen bet 1,200 on a {8-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} flop with about 2,000 in the pot. Kim Alexander Foss raised to 2,500 and Salminen called.

Salminen check-called a bet of 3,000 after the {9-Clubs} appeared on the turn.

Another check by Salminen came after the {7-Spades} completed the board on the river.

"Last time I tried to bluff you, you called," Foss said to Salminen before he checked back.

Foss wouldn't have been exactly bluffing if he bet the river as he won the pot after he turned over {j-Hearts}{9-Spades} for two-pair. He won the pot after Salminen tossed his hand into the muck.
