Eames Doubles Through Liakos
![[user46392]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Level 24
: 15,000/30,000, 3,000 ante
First hand, Nikolas Liakos min-raised to 60,000. It folded to John Eames in the small blind, who tanked up for a while before reraising to 190,000. Looks like a squeeze, doesn't it? That's what Liakos must have thought - he four-bet all in to cover Eames. But Eames snap-called all in and it was an easy double up for the Brit.
Liakos: 
Eames: 
Board: 
The last Englishman standing doubled up to 2.2 million, second in chips behind the towering chip fortress of Per Linde. Liakos dropped to just 433,000, second last in chips, only just ahead of Andrea dalle Molle.
Juha Helppi Eliminated in 8th Place (DKK 296,400)
Level 24
: 15,000/30,000, 3,000 ante
Eames is 24 karat golden on this final table!
Hand #3 saw a newly-rich Eames raise to 63k from the cutoff and Juha Helppi three-bet to 190,000 from the small blind. This time the uncomfortable looking dwell resulted in a four-bet and Helppi was quick to shove. Eames called and the EPT Live commentators went crazy.
John Eames: 
Yes, that's kings, again. One hand's break from the kings.
Juha Helppi: 
Yes, that's queens. No escape.
The board ran down a salt in wounds 
amd Helppi's set of queens was no good - out he goes, laconic in defeat. "That was a set-up," he said, "Nothing you can do."
Next Five Hands
Level 24
: 15,000/30,000, 3,000 ante
Well can the next hand be as exciting? Michael Tureniec opened to 63,000 from UTG+2 but compatriot Per Linde decided to pump it up to 160,000 from the button. Tureniec quickly gave it up. Not quite so interesting as the other hands.
Andrea Molle made a raise to about 90,000, committing himself and won the blinds and antes.
Passed to John Eames in the small blind who made it 80,000 and this time Michael Tureniec fold.
Nikalos Liakos moved all-in for about 427,000 and everyone folded. Liakos does the same in the very next hand as well and everyone folded again.
Next 3 Hands
Level 24
: 15,000/30,000, 3,000 ante
Andrea Molle open-shoved from the button the hand after that. He too got away with it, and picked up the blinds and antes.
---
The following hand, Kevin Iacofano raised under the gun. Nikolas Liakos really thought about it in the small blind, but gave it up. Blinds and antes for Iacofano.
---
Next hand, Liakos open-shoved his button. Everyone folded and he's back over the 500,000 mark.
OMG. Andrea Dalle Molle Eliminated in 7th Place (DKK 450,000)
Level 24
: 15,000/30,000, 3,000 ante
You're not going to believe this. When Andrea Dalle Molle open shoved for the third or fourth time, big blind John Eames snapped him like an alligator.
Eames:
Molle: 
The board gave the hint of a sweat on the turn but ended up standing 
and sending the Italian to the rail. Eames counts another 483k into his stack with an embarrassed smile.

Linde and Iacofano Get Involved
Level 24
: 15,000/30,000, 3,000 ante
Per Linde raised the button to 60,000 but instantly folded when Nikalos Liakos shoved all-in from the small blind.
Linde raised the next hand from the cutoff and won the blinds with a 65,000 raise.
Kevin Iacofano limped in against John Eames and fired out 52,000 on a 
flop to pick up his first pot.
Kevin Iacofano raised to 70,000 from the button, John Eames called in the small blind and Michael Tureniec folded. The flop came 
and both players checked, the turn saw Eames lead for 100,000 and Iacofano folded without much thought.
The table dynamic has drastically changed from the start of the day and it'll be interesting to see how the shorter stacks approach it from here.
Moderate Action Over the Last 4 Hands
Level 24
: 15,000/30,000, 3,000 ante
We experienced a few hands of relative non-action - Per Linde, Michael Tureniec and Kevin Iacofano took turns to steal the blinds and antes with preflop raises.
When Nikolas Liakos tried it under the gun, though, Per Linde in the big blind reraised a stack of T100,000 chips to set him in. Liakos looked a little frustrated, and folded.
The Linde Strategy?
Level 24
: 15,000/30,000, 3,000 ante
It's like deja vu all over again.
Kevin Iacofano raised to 70k, and button Michael Tureniec three-bet to 160k. Per Linde plonked down enough green 100k chips to put anyone on the table at risk, and picked up the pot with little delay.
