Pansier Exits After Break

Frank Visser

Level 16 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Lucas van den Belt limped in from the hijack. Nino Pansier raised to 135,000 in the cutoff, which Van den Belt reraised to 450,000.

Pansier called after some thought, and his remaining 130,000 was committed on the 4♦8♠7♣ flop.

Nino Pansier: K♠K♣10♠10♥ All in
Lucas van den Belt: A♥A♣8♦2♠

Pansier was left with four outs after the 5♦ turn, but the Q♦ river did not provide him with a set. He was knocked out by his fellow Dutchman and cordially said his goodbyes before exiting the room.

Level 15 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Jelle de Kroon open-raised to 75,000 in the hijack. Big blind Espen Myrmo made it 225,000 to go, which De Kroon called. Both players checked the J♠4♣3♣ flop to the J♦ turn, where Myrmo bet 75,000.

De Kroon tossed in a call, but he eventually folded when Myrmo shoved for 430,000 on the K♠ river.

During the hand, Anton Suarez was seen standing up from another table as he had just been eliminated.

Level 15 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Small blind Carlo van Ravenswoud got his 695,000 chips in the middle on a K♦K♥7♠ flop against "NoNeedMoney" on the button, and was at risk.

Carlo van Ravenswoud: K♣9♠J♦7♣ All in
NoNeedMoney: 9♣7♦8♦5♠

No runout could save "NoNeedMoney", so the 5♦ turn and 4♦ river were just for show. Van Ravenswoud doubled up, leaving his opponent on a stack of 20 big blinds.

Level 15 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Puk Nabuurs limped in before he called Erik Friberg's raise to 110,000. Nabuurs check-called Friberg's bet of 100,000 on the 3♥A♠10♦ flop, checking again on the 7♣ turn.

Friberg moved his remaining 350,000 over the line, and Nabuurs snap-called.

Erik Friberg: A♦K♥K♦2♠ All in
Puk Nabuurs: Q♠10♥10♣9♥

Friberg just had two kings as outs, but the river came the 5♥ instead, eliminating him and seeing Nabuurs chip up to triple the average.
