Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Anthony Spinella raised to 13,000 from middle position. Action folded around to Dario Minieri in the small blind. Minieri reraised for exactly what Spinella had left, a total of 86,500. The big bilnd folded and Spinella made the call. The players showed:

Spinella: {A-Hearts}

Minieri

With the board reading {Q-Spades}

by the river, Spinella's ace-king high was best and he doubled up to almost 180,000.

Asger Boye Eliminated by Eric Koskas

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Action folded around to Asger Boye and he raised to 13,500 from the cutoff seat. Eric Koskas then pushed out more than enough chips out to put Boye all in. Boye eventually made the call and the players showed:

Boye: {K-Hearts}

Koskas:

The board ran out {10-Clubs}

and Koskas's pair of nines was best. Boye made a clearly dissapointed exit. Koskas however, is on a heater, with well over 600,000 in chips.

Mistake Gains Larsson a Double-Up

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Eric Koskas raised pre-flop (as he does every other hand). Andreas Larsson meant to move all in but he put a stack of chips out and reached back for more chips before saying, "all in," and the dealer ruled it was a call. The flop came down {A-Hearts}

and all the chips got in the middle with the {A-Clubs}

of Andreas holding up against the {Q-Spades}

of Koskas. Koskas admitted he would have folded to the pre-flop all-in had it stood.

Clash of the Leaders

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Jonas Klausen and Jason Mercier are the two chip leaders and they are seated next to each other. They get into a pot together from the blinds; each has 18,000 in pre-flop.

The flop is dealt {7-Clubs}

and Jonas bets 20,000, which is called by Jason.

The turn is the {K-Clubs}

and Jonas bets 40,000, which is again called by Jason.

The river is the {J-Clubs}

and Jonas bets 65,000. Jason moves all in. If he is called then one of them will become the first player over a million and chip leader by a long way. Jonas opts to fold and Jason shows him the {7-Diamonds}
