Wrang Pegs Busquet Back

Jannick Wrang
Jannick Wrang

Olivier Busquet raised to 250,000 and Jannick Wrang made the call to see a {8-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} board. Busquet continued with a 250,000 bet after Wrang checked but the Dane made the call and then board players checked the {5-Spades} on the turn.

Wrang led out for 560,000 on the {10-Hearts} river and Busquet quickly called but Wrang's {10-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} flush draw had backdoored into two pair for the pot.

Busquet Starts To Close The Gap

Level 31 : 60,000/120,000, 10,000 ante

Jannick Wrang opened to a slightly larger amount than in previous hands by making it 265,000 to play and Olivier Busquet peeled and the duo share a flop reading {A-Hearts}{10-Spades}{2-Clubs}. Busquet checked then called when Wrang continued to 285,000.

The {7-Spades} turn failed to ignite much interest in either player because when Busquet checked Wrang checked behind and that was all the information Busquet needed because when the {10-Diamonds} landed on the turn he bet 600,000 and Wrang's cards headed towards the muck.

Break

Level 31 : 60,000/120,000, 10,000 ante

The players are on a 15 minute break before the heads up match begins.

Fabrice Soulier Eliminated in 3rd Place (€240,000)

Fabrice Soulier moved all in preflop, Olivier Busquet folded in the small blind but Jannick Wrang did not muck instantly. The Dane began to debate and it looked like it was an extremely close decision for him, but finally he made the call and it was pretty close to a coinflip.

Wrang: {A-Hearts}{6-Clubs}
Soulier: {K-Clubs}{Q-Spades}

The flop came down {K-Spades}{6-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} and both players flopped pairs but Soulier took the chip lead but then the {A-Spades} came on the turn. Wrang made aces up and the Frenchman needed one of two remaining kings in the deck but the river was the {7-Diamonds}.

Wrang is now heads up with the chip lead against Busquet. It's the $25/$50 PLO expert against the man with the reputation of being one of the best heads-up sit'n'go players in the world. This should be a cracker!

Wrang Wins More Chips

Level 30 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante

Fabrice Soulier opened to 235,000 from the button and both Olivier Busquet (small blind) and Jannick Wrang (big blind) made the call. A flop reading {2-Clubs}{7-Spades}{6-Diamonds} was placed onto the felt by the dealer and all three players checked around. The turn was the {J-Hearts} and Busquet took a stab with a 250,000 bet, a bet that only Soulier called.

The river was the {9-Hearts} and Busquet announced check. After a brief pause Wrang reached for chips but before he could bet them Busquet folded.
