Morel Coolers Laansoo

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Virgo Laansoo was all-in for about 80,000 into a splashed pot of what appeared to be a bit more against Marius Morel after the {k-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{k-Clubs} came on the flop.

Laansoo turned over {k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} for trips and needed some help with Morel showing {3-Spades}{3-Diamonds} for the full house. The {8-Hearts} on the turn and the {j-Spades} on the river didn't help Laansoo and he was ousted from the tournament about 16 spots shy of the money.

After the hand, Sarah Dumbleton removed his chair from the table and announced that the action would be eight-handed for the rest of the day.

Lassik bet 75,000 into a pot of a bit more with the {5-Spades}{a-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} on the board. Lijendal went into the tank for about three minutes before he made the call.

Lassik turned over {9-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} for trips and won the hand after Lijendal mucked.

"Oh come on," said Lassik to his opponent. "You can afford it. You just won a hand off me recently.

Coolbet Founder Jan Svendsen, who is also at the table had a different take.

"It looks like you can afford it more than him," said Svendsen referring to Lassik's big stack and Lijendal's below average one.
