Varonen Doubles After Attacking Limps

Level 12 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Lucas van den Belt limped in under the gun, with several of his tablemates following suit. Lauri Varonen then raised to 60,000 in the big blind, after which Van den Belt quickly three-bet to 210,000.

"Why did I raise?" Varonen lamented after the rest of the table had folded. He then called off for 190,000, revealing the cards.

Lauri Varonen: K♠J♠10♦7♦ All in
Lucas van den Belt: A♠A♣Q♦7♣

Varonen flopped huge on 10♠3♦J♦ with two pair and a flush draw. The 3♠ turn counterfeited his two pair, but the 2♦ river completed his flush, doubling him up and leaving Van den Belt with half a starting stack.

In a pot of about 300,000, Nino Pansier committed his final 45,000 on the 6♦3♠J♦2♦ turn. Hans Thumann quickly looked him up, revealing A♦Q♥Q♣5♦ for the nut flush.

It remained the nuts on the 9♣ river, and Pansier's cards were quickly swept into the muck. At another table, Tom-Aksel Bedell became the final elimination before the field was sent on a break.

Doing what the Dutchman has been doing over the past days, Pansier immediately bought back in as he neared double-digit entries.

Myrmo called, after which the 5♥ turn and 2♥ river were checked to showdown. Myrmo tabled four black cards, and Trojand quickly announced a flush, showing K♦K♣9♥8♥ to take the pot.

Stefan Lehner limped in from middle position, and "Sonic" did so on the button. Daniel Birkmose then raised to 60,000 in the small blind, which both opponents called.

Birkmose quickly tossed in his final 36,000 on the A♣J♣A♠ flop. Lehner called, while "Sonic" gave up after some thought.

Daniel Birkmose: A♥K♦K♣Q♣ All in
Stefan Lehner: J♥9♣8♥8♦.

Lehner was drawing dead after the 2♥ turn, and Birkmose nearly tripled as the river was dealt.

Leonid Yanovski got his last 200,000 or so in preflop, up against Stian Usterud.

Leonid Yanovski: K♦J♠J♣10♦ All in
Stian Usterud: A♦A♣9♠2♦

Not for the first time, Yanovski had run into aces. He flopped a straight on Q♥A♥10♥, but the 3♣3♥ runout made Usterud a full house to eliminate Yanovski, permanently this time.
