It folded around to Henrik Junker in the small blind, who raised. In the big blind, Jesper Petersen reraised to 180,000, leaving himself a mere 32,000 behind. Junker put him in, Petersen called, and they turned their cards over.
Junker:
Petersen:
Board:
Initial anger for Petersen as the seven came out, followed by relief as the ten made him a straight. Riding an emotional rollercoaster, Petersen doubles to 430,000. Junker is left with just 150,000.
Juha Helppi has been nursing his short stack all day now, and he finally found a spot to get his chips in with . Unfortunately for the Finn, he ran smack into Thomas Froslev and his .
Helppi stood up and shook his head as he mumbled to himself about the situation at hand. Things wouldn't get any better, either, as the community cards came .
David Adelskov was all in for just about 150,000 before the flop, and he found action from Morten Guldhammer (who's been involved in a lot of the action of late). Adelskov tabled , racing for double or nothing against his opponent's .
It would be "nothing" rather than "double". The board was a blank slate, coming out . Two pair is good for Guldhammer, and Adelskov's day is done.
Rasmus Vogt bet out 32,000 on a flop that read but Henrik Junker on the button made it 66,000 to go. Vogt spent some time contemplating the flop, the raise and the mere 150,000 that remained in his own stack, before deciding it wasn't worth it and folding.
Richard Loth opened to 27,000 in early position, and Kristijonas Andrulis three-bet to 68,000 two seats over. When action came around to the button, Thomas Pettersson moved all in for 142,000 total. Loth asked if the betting was reopened (it was) before folding. It was 74,000 more to Andrulis, and he cracked a broad smirk. The fact that there was no instant call hinted at his meager holdings, and him chirping, "So bad. So bad," only reaffirmed that. Finally, and reluctantly, Andrulis made the call to put his man at risk. The news wasn't as bad as it could have been:
Andrulis:
Pettersson:
The table shared a chuckle when Andrulis turned over his hand, and even he had to laugh at the spot he'd gotten himself into.
Board: . That's safe for Pettersson, and his ace-high earns him a much-needed double up. He's up over 300,000 now, and back in the game. Andrulis has been knocked down to 145,000.
We're not quite certain how it came to pass, but Kristoffer "Sumpas" Thorsson's seat was empty, and the man himself was wandering the floor wondering where he should go to get paid.
Andrew Teng opened for 25,000 and Peter Eastgate flatted behund him. On the button, Jesper Petersen reraised all in for frankly not very much, and back to Teng, who reshoved for an awful lot. Eastgate spent some time very seriously considering it but eventually folded.
Petersen:
Teng:
Board:
Petersen doubled up to 240,000 while Teng's stack was barely dented. Eastgate looked rather displeased. We play on.
