Vicenzo Apicella Doubles Up

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Vicenzo Apicella has just coolered Vojtech Ruzicka and doubled up to keep his slim hopes of European Poker Tour glory alive. He moved his last 20,000+ into the pot from under the gun and Ruzicka three-bet to 41,000 and everyone else got out of the way.

Ruzicka{q-Hearts} {q-Diamonds}
Apicella{8-Hearts} {6-Hearts}

Board: {4-Clubs} {2-Clubs} {8-Clubs} {a-Diamonds} {8-Spades}

Apicella hits trips on the river and doubles up to around 50,000

Kelopuro doesn't intend to go anywhere

Rolands Norietis raised to 17,000 from the hijack and Sami Kelopuro three-bet to 44,000 from his position in the cut-off. The action folded around to Norietis who made the call and we saw a flop of {j-Hearts} {10-Clubs} {2-Spades}. Norietis check-called a 56,000 bet and the dealer gave us the {3-Hearts} on the turn. Norietis again checked and Kelopuro put a huge 124,000 bet across the line and it was enough to put off the Latvian and he folded his hand.

Kaiser Continues His Dominance Over Cichocki

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

We joined the action on a flop of {5-Diamonds} {7-Clubs} {10-Hearts} and judging by the money in the pot there was a standard raise and call pre flop with Grzegorz Cichocki being the initial raiser from under the gun and Ronny Kaiser defending his big blind. On the flop Kaiser bet 24,000 and Cichocki called. The turn was the {k-Clubs} and Kaiser thought about it before betting 38,000. For a moment it looked like Cichocki was counting out a raise but instead settled for the call. Last card then and it was a {5-Clubs}, again Kaiser thought long and hard before making a third bet of 85,000 and Cichocki folded.

Jonsson Is Building

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Despite having his chip stack decimated just a few hands ago Kjartan Bergur Jonsson has not lost his sense of humour or his smile.

He moved all in from under the gun and picked up the blinds and antes. "I'm building. I have one yellow chip." The next hand Konstantinov Aleksandr Valerevish moved all in on him from the small blind and he made the call. Valerevish turned over {6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} and was up against the mighty {J-Spades}{2-Spades} of Jonsson. The board ran out {7-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{7-Clubs} and Jonsson doubled up.

"I have more yellows now," he said with a beaming smile!

Four-bet Shove Forces Fold

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Many hands today have been settled preflop and Arvi Vainionkulma just won such a hand.

He opened to 16,000 from the cutoff and Vojtech Ruzicka three-bet to 36,000. The action folded back to Vainionkulma and he thought for around 20 seconds before announcing he was all in, a bet that would cost Ruzicka 280,000 chips to call. The bet was too expensive for Ruzicka and he folded

Jonsson Crippled

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Jonsson is Crippled

Lari Sihvo raised to 16,000 from middle position and Kjartan Jonsson three-bet to 48,000 from the small blind. Action back on Sihvo and he moved all-in and Jonsson snap-called.

Sihvo{a-Spades} {q-Spades}
Jonsson{j-Hearts} {j-Clubs}

"This song is called you are going home," Said Jonsson as he lifted his cans from his ears.

Flop: {a-Clubs} {k-Diamonds} {7-Clubs}

"Ohh," said Jonsson

Turn: {9-Diamonds}

River: {3-Spades}

Jonsson took it really well and handed over 256,000 of his chips to the Fin and now has 75,000 and a lot of work to do.

King High Call

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Grzegorz Cichocki raised to 16,000 from the cut-off and Arvi Vainionkulma called in the big blind. The action checked all the way to the river on a board of {5-Spades} {4-Hearts} {6-Clubs} {2-Spades} {6-Hearts} when Cichocki bet 15,000. Vainionkulma had a deep think and called with {k-Hearts} {j-Clubs} and it was a good call, Cichocki tabling {j-Spades} {10-Clubs}

Andrey Subbotin eliminated in 20th place (€7,500)

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Andrey Subbotin quickly followed Bansi out the door. He was sat on the button and called a cu-off raise from Vojtech Ruzicka to see a {10-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{5-Spades}. Both players checked to the {6-Hearts} turn before Subbotin bet 48,000 when checked to him. Call.

The river fell {10-Spades} and Ruzicka checked for a third time and let Subbotin hang himself with a 140,000 all-in shove. Ruzicka called and tabled {10-}{7-} for a full-house. Subbotin mucked and made his exit.
