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 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!

Kaiser Continues His Dominance Over Cichocki

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

Cichocki behind Kaiser's chip mountain

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.

Kelopuro Reminds People That he is Still Around

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.

Apicella{8-Hearts} {6-Hearts}

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

Kelopuro Takes On Sarwer

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

Sami Kelopuro and Jeff Sarwer have just clashed over on Table 1 where play is currently six-handed.

Kelopuro raised to 18,000 from under the gun and Sarwer, next to act, flat called and he was the only one to do so. The dealer put out the {k-Spades}{9-Clubs}{7-Spades} flop and Kelopuro made it 37,000 to play and Sarwer quickly called. The turn was the {4-Hearts} and Kelopuro showed no reason to slow down and bet 63,000. Sarwer sat with his head on his right hand but could not find a call and folded his hand.
