Halldor Sverisson raised to 3,000 in early position, and then for what seemed like the umpteenth time, Simon Ravnsbaek three-bet to 6,300. Sverisson must have thought, "I have him this time," before moving all-in for 45,000 more and Ravnsbaek nearly beat him into the pot.

You sit and wait patiently for premium hand, finally get the very best in succession and end up on the precipice of a tournament exit. That is exactly what has just happened to poor old Anders Andersen.
Firstly, Andersen picks up pocket aces and makes a standard raise, only for everyone to fold. Then he picks up pocket kings and ends up all-in, pre flop, against the pocket aces of Henrik Sorensen. The kings lost and Andersen was left with 33,000. Andersen looked devastated while everyone around him thought it was the funniest thing they had ever seen.
Keld Volquardsen not only has a huge chunk of chips, but he also has a huge chunk of luck.
Andreas Nilsson raised to 2,700 in the hijack seat and Volquardsen made it 7,700 to play from the small blind. The action folded back around to Nilsson and he moved all-in for 35,000 and Nilsson called.

Just when Nilsson thought it was time to double up, the board threw up a split pot so the spoils had to be shared.
Board: 
There are not many flops being seen over on Table 29 right now as the player seem content with sorting things out before any community cards are being dealt.
In one hand the action folded to Anton Wigg in middle position and he made it 2,600 to play. Nobody wanted to come along for the ride and he picked up the blinds and antes. The following hand Gerasimos Deres opened to 2,600 from under the gun, the opponent to his direct left, Keld Volguardsen, three-bet to 7,500 and when the action folded back to Deres he folded.
Martins Adeniya won’t be making another deep Season 8 EPT run as he’s busted. There was a raise and two calls before the Brit squeezed all in for around 25,000.
The original raiser folded before O’Dwyer shoved to isolate. It worked as the other player still involved folded. Adeniya opened king-queen and couldn’t win a the race against O’Dwyer’s pocket sevens.
Andreas Wiese raised to 2,800 in early position and Luca Pagano three-bet to 7,000 in the hijack seat. A few folds later and PokerStars qualifier Eero Kekalainen four-bet to 18,000 in the small blind. Wiese folded and it was time for Pagano to have a little think.
Kekalainen was seated behind a stack of 45,000 and Pagano had a smidgen more than that. When he was finished thinking, Pagano made the call and they both shared a flop of 
. Kekalainen moved all-in, immediately, and Pagano tank folded with a pained look on his face.
The player on the button raised to 2,700, Mick Graydon moved all-in from the small blind with around 20,000 and Victor Ilyukhin re-shoved from the big blind with a covering stack. Back to the player on the button and he folded leaving Graydon and Ilyukhin to sort their differences out.
"You fold a pair?" A neutral player asked the button.
"Yeah, pocket jacks," he replied.

The first card on the flop was the 
and the face on the button was a picture. The rest of the board ran out in favour of Iluykhin and he doubled up whereas Graydon was gone.
Jan Molby and Kenneth Laursen have just found themselves in a preflop raising war that saw Molby all in and at risk of elimination but had Molby won Laursen would have been well and truly crippled.
Laursen opened the betting from the cutoff and was facing a three-bet of 8,400 from Molby in the big blind. He responded by four-betting to 17,000. Molby had a trick like that too, an all-in shove for an additional 34,000. Laursen called and the cards were revealed.

Laursen: 
The board ran out 
and both players chopped the pot.
Niels van Alphen raised to 2,500 and Eric Cortes moved all-in for 23,200 one seat to his left. Van Alphen made the call and we had a showdown with Cortes at risk of elimination.
