On the river of a board, Per Linde checked across to Martins Adeniya who fired out 18,700. Ramzi Jelassi thought long and hard before folding and it was passed back to Linde who thought for a moment before check-raising to 50,500.
Adeniya tanked for several minutes as a call represented most of his stack, eventually with several minutes gone into the break Linde said, "Clock please," before apologising to Adeniya saying, "I'm sorry but I would like a few minutes break."
"No problem," replied Adeniya.
Without about 30 seconds left, Adeniya made the call.
"You got it," sighed Linde, "One pair," turning over . Adeniya winced and slowly mucked his cards. The usually expressionless and stoic Linde looked utterly shocked, "I was bluffing!" he exclaimed.
"I knew you were bluffing," replied Martins, crippled as result. Linde is closing on the 300,000 mark.
There was perhaps 65,000 in the pot when we arrived on the river of the board, and Day 1a chip leader Mark Hirleman had announced all in to cover his opponent. Said opponent (whose ID card claims that he is Johan van Til; he is most definitely not) pretended to cry, before commencing an epic tank.
"I have two ace," he announced to the table. I put you on sh*t-seven. So, what's the worst?" He continued to tank. "I just wait. Gimme just a minute more." Eventually he called the clock on himself, explaining, "I just do it to people light." The floor lady appeared, and the gent with the decision spent his entire minute hovering his remaining 28,000 or so over the betting line. Eventually she reached one, and then declared his hand dead. He looked surprised, saying that he had meant to call.
"You want to see?" asked Hirleman.
"No," replied his unhappy and now very short-stacked opponent, "Please don't show me."
Hirleman told him that he had in fact had a seven, and he is back up to 187,000.
Per Linde just finished off Martins Adeniya, the latter had 3-bet all-in and Linde cold-called from the big blind getting the original raiser to apparently fold jacks.
Having fallen from his start of day six-figure stack, Daniel Pettersen found a lucky double up to bring him back up there. He four-bet shoved preflop (for around 60k) after Nikolas Liakos had re-raised him, and Liakos called immediately. He wasn't in great shape with vs. Liakos' but the flop had straight potential: . It was realised on the turn and the river saw Liakos count out the chips and hand them over, showing no emotion whatsoever.
Simen Johannessen was looking distraught after he lost a huge pot to Søren Avngaard on a board when the latter turned over for quads.
Speculation was rife that Johannsessen had either aces or queens since there had been a decent amount of action on the river but Johannessen refused to admit what he had. Instead he dropped to about 100,000 while Avngaard moved to around the 200,000 mark.
Team PokerStars Pro Johnny Lodden has dropped back to 170,000 after he called Juha Vilkki's shove with only to find himself outdrawn by after the board came .
