Farrell Confused; Wins

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

With the board reading {A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{J-Hearts}, Adrian Mateos bet 25,000 for pot-size and had just about the same left behind. Niall Farrell was confused for a while and said "I just call" before Mateos sheepishly turned over his {Q-Diamonds}{10-Spades} for aces and queens. Farrell had that beat with {Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs} for a full house and scooped the pot.

Van Zadelhoff Forces Out Nielsen

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

Steven van Zadelhoff was telling us about a hand earlier today where he had three bet but had to fold to a four bet. As we walked away he called us back. "This is that hand I told you about, the hand I'm going to double" Van Zadelhoff said with a smile before even having checked his cards.

We saw action fold around to Lasse Nielsen in the small blind and he completed for 2,000. Van Zadelhoff bumped it up to 5,500 and Nielsen made the call. Nielsen and Van Zadelhoff both checked on {A-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{7-Spades} and the {5-Diamonds} hit the turn. Nielsen checked, and called as Van Zadelhoff fired 7,100 into the middle.

The {K-Hearts} fell on the river and Nielsen checked. Van Zadelhoff slid a hefty 25,000 forward and Nielsen folded after giving it some thoughts.

Just Win Baby!

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante
Steve O'Dwyer
Steve O'Dwyer

Steve O'Dwyer just pushed up to 260,000 and into contention with a big river raise in position moments ago.

A 60,000-chip pot lay in the middle when Eros Nastasi led the river of a {8-Clubs}{q-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} board for about 20,000.

O'Dwyer slid in raise to 65,000 and Natasi folded.

O'Dwyer won last night's €10,200 Single-Day High Roller adding to his more than $10 million in career tournament winnings, and now has a stack to take a run at the big bag of Euros up top here.

Shorr Doubles Through Muehloecker

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

In a limped pot and battle of the blinds, Thomas Muehloecker bet the flop {Q-Spades}{8-Spades}{A-Spades} for 3,500 and Shannon Shorr called. On the {J-Clubs} turn, Muehloecker fired 8,500 and was called once again before Shorr got his last 43,300 in after the {9-Hearts} river.

Muehloecker tank-called and then mucked when he was shown {10-Spades}{5-Spades} for a flopped flush by the American.

Ivarsson Keeps Running like God

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Alexander Ivarsson
Alexander Ivarsson

After an open raise, Alexander Ivarsson three-bet to 12,500 from the button and Raoul Refos four-bet to 32,000 in the big blind. The initial raiser folded and Ivarsson then moved all in via five-bet shove. Refos, a regular on the European Poker Tour and hailing from the Netherlands, eventually called off for around 85,000 chips with the {A-Hearts}{K-Spades} and Ivarsson tabled {6-Clubs}{6-Hearts}.

The board ran out {9-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} and the Swede scooped yet another big pot.

Farrell Spots Carrel's Bluff

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Kacper Pyzara opened to 4,000 and Niall Farrell called from the cutoff, so did Charlie Carrell in the big blind. The trio checked through the {5-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} flop and 10c] turn before Carrell bet the {A-Hearts} river for 16,100. Pyzara folded but Farrell reluctantly called to get shown a complete bluff by Carrell, taking down the pot with the {J-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}.

The table is definitely one of the most challenging right now with Atanas Kavrakov, Dylan Linde, Adrian Mateos and Ludovic Riehl also seated right there.

Jouhkimainen Won't Go Anywhere

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

The cards were almost rushed away but the {J-Hearts}{7-Hearts} of Joni Jouhkimainen still visible. The young Finn just doubled through Mihails Morozovs after betting the turn and shoving the river of a jack-high board with a full house. Morozovs was unable to beat that and lost some chips.
