Huge double up for Tobias Renkemeier, the German had opened preflop to 3,500 and received two callers before Nicolas Babel raised to 12,200 from the small blind. Renkemeier then made a small 4-bet to 23,500 and the callers both folded. Babel decided to respond by moving all-in and Renkemeier snap-called for his 126,200 stack and turned over which miles ahead of Babel's .
The board came out and Renkemeier doubled to over 250,000 while Babel dropped to around 50,000.
Caught only on the river as Ladislav Mika had a think about short stacked Praz Bansi's shove (20,200) into a pot of around 15,000, the board already out in full: . Bansi has been officially grinding since halfway through yesterday, and only returned with 26,000, but his patience has paid off - Mika made this call and mucked when Bansi showed down for the straight.
Down on table number seven there has just been a three-way all in between the table's shorter stacks.
We didn't see how the chips found their way into the middle but when the dust had settled we did see what cards everyone held!
Lasell King:
Milous Artjorns:
Ionel Anton:
The flop kept the aces in front and the in the turn meant Artjourns was now favourite to win the side-pot that was created. The on the river completed the hand, doubling up Anton and eliminating King.
Mihail Kirilov is no longer in the running after getting his chips in on the turn of a board with [7x8x0 for the bottom end of the straight, only to find Jan Bendik holding for the nuts. The river was purely academic, and he hit the rail.
Frenchman Nicolas Babel has just shown aggression is the key to picking up vital chips in tournaments as he won a big pot after betting all three streets against Rasmus Nielsen.
Babel opened with a 3,700, Nielsen called next to act but everyone else folded, leaving the two players to go to battle on a flop reading . Babel quickly fired a bet of 4,600, which Nielsen quickly called by first tossing a single black 100 chip then utting the rest of the amount in delicately.
The on the turn saw Babel bet 11,600 and once again Nielsen tossed a single 100 chip into the middle then put the rest in the middle carefully.
The on the river prompted Babel to count his stack and then move all in for slightly over 50,000. Without any pause for thought, Nielsen mucked his hand
Florian Desgouttes has doubled up to 58,000 to the delight of a small but supportive group of players (or railers or fans) who watched him move all in preflop over a standard Toby Lewis raise. It was small blind Liviu Ignat, however, who spent the longest thinking about this preflop 27,300, finally choosing to move in over the top. Lewis passed immediately and they were on their backs:
Desgouttes:
Ignat:
Already confident, Desgouttes was delighted when the board came out and gave him the pot. Ignat, meanwhile, drops to 71,500.
