Frost Doubles Again!

Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Lasse Frost has doubled again after he and Guden saw a cooler of a flop.

It read {q-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{10-Spades} and the pot had been three-bet pre. The chips went in and both players showed straights.

Unfortunately for Guden he had the bad end of it with {9-Spades}{8-Diamonds} whereas the Dane opened {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} for the nuts. The board ran out {8-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}.

Double For Anderson

Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Calvin Anderson
Calvin Anderson

Calvin Anderson has been very active today but it didn't result in a double up until just now. Roman Herold raised preflop and Anderson defended his big blind after which the flop brought out {10-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{Q-Spades}.

Anderson checked on the flop and Herold bet 85,000 after which the American pro pulled the trigger. Anderson moved all in for 760,000 chips and Herold eventually made the call.

Calvin Anderson: {10-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}
Romand Herold: {K-Spades}{J-Diamonds}

The board ran out {4-Spades}, {7-Clubs} and Anderson secured a double up. He's almost back up to the average while Herold still has a mountain of chips in front of him.

Doing it Pre

Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

After Matias Kesanen's elimination we've only seen preflop action at the feature table. A few three-bets were enough to take it down. We're just waiting for another big all in to happen and that's probably not going to take long with the agressive play we've seen this level.

Nguyen Straightened Out

Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Since Khiem Nguyen moved to the outer table he and Roman Korenev have tangled in a few pre flop raising battles with the honours being even. Just now they played a hand to the end and it was Korenev who came out on top.

The action folded around to Korenev in the small blind and his 90,000 raise was called Nguyen in the big blind. On the {q-Spades}{j-Hearts}{k-Clubs} flop Korenev continued for 85,000. Call. Both players checked the {a-Spades} turn before Nguyen tank called a 235,000 bet on the {5-Hearts} river.

Korenev opened {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} for a straight and Nguyen folded.

All Questions With No Aswers

Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Since the bust out of Olivier Busquet the outer table has been lacking in flops.

There has been a lot of three-betting but no action beyond that. The average thinking time on decisions is growing by the hand as well.

Herold Loses The Lead

Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Dashgyn Aliev
Dashgyn Aliev

Roman Herold raised under the gun and Dashgyn Aliev put in a big three-bet from the small blind. Herold made the call and the flop brought out {5-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}.

Aliev continued on the flop with a 320,000-chip bet and Herold made the call. On the turn the {6-Diamonds} hit and Aliev fired out 500,000. Herold called once again creating a massive pot.

The river brought the {8-Spades} and both players checked. Aliev turned over {A-Clubs}{A-Diamonds} and raked in this massive pot. He's now the chip leader while Herold slips down to second place.
