Reigass Delivers a Major Cooler to Sidark with Quads

Level 7 : 300/600, 75 ante
Gatis Reigass
Gatis Reigass

With already a decent amount of chips in the middle, Amanda Sidark bet 8,000 on the turn with the board reading {7-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{7-Clubs}{8-Spades} and Gatis Reigass called.

Sidark fired out for 12,000 after the {7-Spades} completed the board on the river, which barely covered the stack of Reigass.

Reigass was apologizing as he was turning over {9-Hearts}{7-Hearts} for quad sevens. Sidark appeared to be in shock and took her time before she showed she turned a boat holding {8-}{8-}.

After the hand, Johannes Park, who is also at the table laughed and said, "I have already entered four times."

"So have I," said Reigass before adding he was joking.

Four entries might be a charm for Park, however, who in his last big live tournament did the same and appeared at the final table.

Players are now on their second and final break of Day 1b. When they return they will be playing two more blind levels before bagging chips.

Gatis Gone For Now

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante
Gatis Reigass
Gatis Reigass

Latvia's Gatis Reigass doubled his stack with aces before giving it all away against aces.

Arben Cimilji opened from the button to 1,200 before Reigass jammed over the top from the small blind for almost 15,000.

Cimiliji called and Reigass turned over {a-}{7-}. Reigass was in a world of hurt after his opponent turned over {A-}{A-}. The board ran all blanks for Reigass and he is gone from the tournament from now.

He shared on the way out the door that he plans to take a break and reenter a little bit later in the day.

Stenbo Cracks Damli's Aces

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante
Tone Damli
Tone Damli

Tone Damli led out for 2,000 on a {2-Spades}{9-Hearts}{8-Clubs} flop with already about 4,000 in chips in the middle. Jari Porkka called before Christjan Kay Stenbo jammed his remaining stack of almost 10,000 in chips.

Damli quickly went over the top for almost 18,000 and Porkka quickly folded. Damli turned over {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts} but was in a world of hurt after Stenbo turned over {2-Spades}{2-Hearts} for the set.

The {4-Diamonds} on the turn opened up straight possibilities for Damli. However, her stack went down to 7,800 while Stenbo's stack was approaching what he started the day with.
