Frank Visser

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Kristin Engli raised to 600 under the gun. Thorbergur Thorarinsson called in middle position before Atte Franssila three-bet to 2,700 in the hijack. Misto Necati then cold-called in the small blind, Engli folded her cards, and Thorarinsson called again.

Three-way to the 3♥3♠Q♥ flop, Necati led out for 5,500. Thorarinsson made a quick fold, after which Franssila called. When Necati slowed down and checked the 6♦ turn, Franssila decided to bet 4,800.

Necati called to the 4♠ river, which he checked as well. Franssila put his opponent all-in for his last 7,100, but Necati saved his last chips, folding J♥10♥ for a missed flush draw.

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Day 1b has been a busy affair so far, with the tables in the second room of the venue filling up quickly as well. On one of those tables, PLO side event winner Mikko Harmaa and Torsti Kettula were heads up on a K♠2♣10♦ flop.

With 5,300 in the pot, Kettula bet 2,000 from the big blind, being called by Harmaa in the hijack. The Q♠ turn slowed down Kettula, as he checked over to Harmaa. Harmaa fired a bet of 5,000, which Kettula called.

The 5♣ arrived on the river. Kettula checked for a second time, prompting Harmaa to move all in for about 20,000. The players played similar stacks as the table had just opened up, and Kettula went deep into thought.

After five minutes or so, Kettula decided to fold his hand, seeing the sizable pot being shipped to Harmaa.

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

Paul Solovjev raised to 800 in the hijack, which Peep Kivistik three-bet to 2,600 in the cutoff. Nils Kollandsrud then four-bet to 8,500 on the button, but Solovjev, not having seen the four-bet, just called the three-bet of Kivistik.

After his options were explained to him, Solovjev opted to call the four-bet, and Kivistik quickly folded afterward.

The 3♥7♥8♦ flop saw Kollandsrud move all in for 19,700 after Solovjev had checked, but the table chipleader opted to preserve the rest of his chips as he folded his hand.

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

Three-way to the Q♥8♠5♠A♦ turn, the action checked to Daniel Axelsson on the button, who bet 3,000 into the pot of 6,000. Evan Aambo under the gun and Jarle Traasdahl in the hijack both called, after which the J♣ river completed the board.

Aambo checked in flow, but Traasdahl led out with a bet of 7,500. "Ah, that is the worst river," Axelsson lamented before he announced a fold. Aambo also laid his hand down, and the pot was shipped to Traasdahl.

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

Arriving at the tail end of a pot between Espen Ringstad in the big blind and Janne Ilmen on the button, the two had gathered over 30,000 in the pot when Ringstad checked on the 10♠6♥5♠3♥7♥ river.

Ilmen then moved all in for his final 9,300, and Ringstad tossed in calling chips. Ilmen showed J♠J♥ for an overpair, winning the pot as Ringstad's Jx10x was no good.

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

Under the gun, Kai Tiainen checked the 7♣Q♣A♥10♥ turn over to Ove Hauge, who bet 3,000 into the pot of 4,000. Tiainen called to the 7♦ river, which he also checked.

Hauge quickly tossed in 6,300 chips. Tiainen sighed loudly, but ultimately decided he could not fold and called.

Hauge provided his neighbor with good news, tabling J♣10♣ for middle pair. Tiainen showed A♣Q♥ for aces and queens, taking down the sizable pot.
