Tiainen Takes from Andersson

Christian Zetzsche

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

With 13,500 in the middle to the Q♣8♣2♥7♣ turn, Adam Andersson checked and Kai Tiainen checked behind. The same applied for the K♥ river on which Andersson showed J♦8♦. Tiainen won the pot with the 10♣10♦ and sighed relief. "Glad you didn't bet, I would have folded," he said.

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

The turn showed A♠8♣3♥4♣ and Juhan Punkeri checked. Verneri Häkkinen bet 1,500 and tossed in a T-5,000 chip. Punkeri then flipped in 5,500 chips because he somehow thought that was the bet sizing of his opponent. The floor confirmed it was a raise, as Punkeri then declared so and the rest of the table started to laugh.

Häkkinen then instantly pushed all-in for 25,500 and Punkeri reluctantly called thereafter.

Verneri Häkkinen: A♣Q♦ All in
Juhan Punkeri: J♣3♣

Punkeri was very much alive but didn't get there with the 9♠ river to double Häkkinen.

Soon after, Christian Arstad arrived next to Gaassand after he had busted and re-entered.

Earlier on, Roar Flotre had completed he couldn't win anything in this tournament and that was also the case for his most recent all-in showdown. Flotre was all-in with A♠J♦ against the K♦K♠ of Patrik Nordtorp and the Q♥9♦2♠Q♦8♣ board provided no help.

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Hans Tomta was all-in after the Q♠J♣8♣7♥ turn and had little to fear with Q♣10♣, as Eyjolfur Halldorsson only showed Ax4x. The river was the 3♥ and Tomta doubled to get back above the starting stack.

Also on the table is Andreas Hoivold, who recently entered and then lost most of his stack in an all-in situation.

On a flop of 5♠3♠2♣, Finland's Toni Helminen was all-in with the K♠10♠ for a flush draw and up against Steinn Thanh Du Karlsson with the A♥A♣. The aces improved to a wheel on the 4♦ turn and the 3♥ river brought no further spade to knock out Helminen.

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Edgar Blomso limped first to act and Andri Agustsson moved all-in for 6,000. All other players folded and Blomso called.

Andri Agustsson: 9♦9♠ All in
Edgar Blomso: Q♦Q♣

The dominated pair found no help on the 7♥5♦4♣K♣4♠ runout to send Agustsson to the rail

"You are on a roll," another player at the table said and a floor added "and you are on the move," as Blomso was instantly moved to a newly opened table after the hand.
