Mansour Djoudat Wins a Family Pot

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 300 ante
Mansour Djoudat
Mansour Djoudat

Mansour Djoudat is at a table with two players that appeared on a final table in a major tournament together earlier in the month in Jussi Mattila and Johannes Park.

A player opened up in early position to 7,500 and got four callers including Mattila in the cutoff and Djoudat in the big blind.

All five players checked it around after the flop came {j-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}. The quintet all checked again after the {q-Clubs} came on the turn.

The action picked up after the {j-Diamonds} completed the board on the river with Djoudat seemingly thinking he was all-in but instead it was a bet of 60,000. He still had a pile of around 15 yellow 1,000-denominated chips behind.

Three players folded and Mattila asked the dealer "how much?"

Mattila counted his chips and it appeared he had about 35,000 remaining on top of the bet. After going into the tank for two minutes, Matilla folded and Djoudat collected a nice family pot.

Wedde Runs Into Erala's Aces

Gunnar Wedde was short on chips and jammed from under the gun with {a-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} for 28,000. Kristo Erala repopped for a bit more wtih {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}.

Everyone else got out of the way and Wedde needed a ton of help to save his tournament life. Help didn't come his way and he quickly left the tournament area after the board ran out {8-Clubs}{2-Spades}{q-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{9-Spades}.

Meanwhile, Erala, who in 2017 won the Estonian Championship of Poker €330 Main Event, has quietly pushed his stack up to around 180,000.

Under a Hundred

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 300 ante
Tommy Ravn
Tommy Ravn

The field size was trimmed to 98 players at the end of the last level. Norway's Tommy Ravn was one of the casualities after losing a flip with queens against ace-king.

Tommy Ravn's son Patrik hasn't had a big stack all day but seems to be doing well in survival mode. So all is not all lost for the Ravn family.

Tommy Ravn shared he plans on entering the two-day €330 ViMenn Open that kicks off in just 12 minutes at 6 p.m. EEST.
