Gronli Jams on Rising Pukk

Frank Visser

Level 20 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Magnus Pukk raised his button to 60,000, and Knut Gronli defended his big blind. Pukk continued for 40,000 on the 10♠A♣7♠ flop, after which Gronli quickly moved all in for 450,000.

Pukk weighed his options for a few seconds, ultimately deciding to fold and forfeit the pot. Earlier, Pukk had picked off a big pot from Asgeir Lund, netting him a stack of double the average.

Level 20 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Jesse Huostila moved in preflop for about seven big blinds. Asgeir Lund made the call, and the players tabled their cards.

Jesse Huostila: K♠Q♠ All in
Asgeir Lund: A♠10♠

Huostila shot ahead as he paired on the Q♥7♠J♦ flop. The A♦ turn upgraded Lund to a higher pair, however, and Huostila could not hit the 8♣ river.

He was eliminated in 16th place and was the first player to depart from the final two tables.

Level 20 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Edd-Christian Gerhardsen moved in his stack of 515,000 preflop, and Magnus Pukk called him with a covering stack.

Edd-Christian Gerhardsen: A♥Q♠ All in
Magnus Pukk: 8♠8♥

Gerhardsen failed to pair his hole cards on the 6♣5♣K♥K♠J♣ board, seeing Pukk win the massive flip to eliminate the Day 1 chipleader in 17th.

The remaining 16 players were redrawn across two tables.

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Guillermo Gordo raised to 40,000 under the gun. Monica Vaka then three-bet to 120,000 on the button, and Martin Rasch called all in for 60,000 in the big blind. Gordo got his 2♦2♣ out of the pot as Rasch and Vaka showed down.

Martin Rasch: Q♦J♣ All in
Monica Vaka: A♠K♥

The board ran out an inconsequential 4♣8♠8♦7♣10♦, sending Rasch to the rail in 18th as Vaka eclipsed a million in chips.

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Paul Groven shipped in his final 10 big blinds or so preflop, and he was up against Edd-Christian Gerhardsen.

Paul Groven: Ax6x
Edd-Christian Gerhardsen: 7x7x

Groven could not find an ace on the subsequent runout, ending his Main Event run in 19th place.

Runar Runarsson Eliminated in 20th Place (€2,025)

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Asgeir Lund opened from the button before Runar Runarsson jammed in his stack of 510,000 from the small blind. Lund snap-called, just as he had said he would do after folding to Runarsson's previous jam.

Runar Runarsson: Q♠Q♦ All in
Asgeir Lund: A♠J♠

Runarsson had a good lead with his ladies, and Lund received no help on the 8♣2♣9♦ flop. The 7♥ turn gave the chipleader a gutshot straight draw, however, and it was completed when the 10♦ river hit the board.

The table could only laugh as Lund seemed unstoppable. Meanwhile, a bewildered Runarsson spent a few minutes in his seat before he went up to collect his payout.

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Preflop, Paul Solovjev got his stack of 460,000 in the middle, being looked up by Asgeir Lund in the small blind.

Paul Solovjev: 2♠2♣ All in
Asgeir Lund: A♦K♥

Solovjev's ducks remained ahead on the 7♥3♣9♣ turn, but Lund's big slick struck on the K♦ turn. His top pair remained best on the 8♠ river, seeing him eliminate yet another player and cross the three-million mark, over four times the average stack.

Ravlo Three-Bets Turn

Frank Visser

Level 19 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

In a limped pot to the A♥5♣2♥ flop, Torgeir Ravlo checked from the small blind, and Knut Gronli followed suit in the big blind.

Ravlo then bet 25,000 when the 4♠ turn arrived, only to be raised to 75,000 by Gronli. Ravlo clicked it back to 150,000, however, which was enough to let Gronli lay down his hand.
