Two Seat Open So Far

Christian Zetzsche

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

At the end of the first level, two players were eliminated at almost the same time with Haukur Bödvarsson among those to fall after a rough opening level.

The other casualty was Sami Tuomaala, who jammed the J♥4♥4♠7♦ turn for around 22,000 and was snapped off by Jhonro Magno from Iceland. Tuomaala showed the K♥K♠ but had a mere two outs as Magno's J♣4♣ had flopped a full house. The river was the blank 3♥ to knock out Tuomaala.

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Vesa Salo was responsible for the elimination of Anders Bjorkheim and then raised from under the gun soon after, new entrant Mati Pirn defended the big blind. Pirn check-raised the K♥8♣4♥ flop from 400 to 2,000 and earned a call from Salo.

Pirn bet the 4♦ turn for 3,600 and the 7♦ river for 3,200. Salo called both times and showed A♣K♣ but mucked to the K♦7♥ of Pirn.

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

Outi Reinilä got her stack in with the 10♦9♣ on a 9♥7♥6♣ flop and her top pair plus gutshot was up against the A♥4♥ of Mats Lundmark. Another heart followed and that sent Reinilä to the rail in the third level of the day. Also no longer in contention for the time being are Mati Pirn and Toomas Marrandi.

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

In a three-bet pot with around 13,000 in the middle to the A♠7♣6♣ flop, Terje Sirnes in the small blind bet 4,500 and big stack Jhonro Magno called in the hijack. The J♣ fell on the turn and Sirnes checked. Magno pushed all-in and Sirnes quickly called.

Terje Sirnes: A♣10♥ All in
Jhonro Magno: 10♣2♣

Sirnes needed another club but bricked the 5♦ river to become the next casualty of Magno's hot run early on Day 1a.

"The Doyle, I had to honour him," Magno said while raking in the pot.

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

Kristjan Odinsson raised to 2,000 and then called all-in when Jhonro Magno moved all-in with the covering stack.

Kristjan Odinsson: K♦Q♥ All in
Jhonro Magno: A♥Q♣

This time, the better hand preflop held on the Q♠10♣6♦6♣A♦ board and that spelled the end for Odinsson. Both players from Iceland briefly chatted with Odinsson mentioning he will be heading off to the cash games instead of re-entering.
