Players on a Short Break Before Heads Up Begins

Level 25 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

Pierre Neuville and [Removed:551] requested a 10-minute break before commencing heads up play, and the tournament staff gave the green light. Before leaving the table they even had a minor talk about the possibilities of a deal, but nothing has come of it so far.

The action will resume soon. Stay tuned!

Theo Jorgensen Eliminated in 3rd Place (€150,850)

Level 25 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante
Theo Jorgensen
Theo Jorgensen

Hand 1

Pierre Neuville raised to 125,000 on the button and Theo Jorgensen called in the big blind. The duo checked the {Q-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{6-Diamonds} flop. Jorgensen then bet the {2-Hearts} turn for 150,000 and Neuville called. After the {K-Spades} river, both checked. Jorgensen showed {10-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} and Neuville claimed the pot with {J-Clubs}{7-Clubs} for a pair of sevens.

Hand 2

Jorgensen raised to 125,000 from the button and Neuville called in the small blind. The flop came {8-Spades}{5-Hearts}{3-Clubs} and Neuville check-called a bet of 125,000. On the {8-Hearts} turn and the {2-Hearts} river, both players checked. Neuville showed {A-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for a flush and Jorgensen mucked.

Hand 3

"How much do you have left?" [Removed:551] asked from the small blind, as short stack Jorgensen was in the big blind. "Around 600, maybe 650," the Dane replied. [Removed:552] shoved and Jorgensen peeked at his cards. "The first is very good. The second one ... is even better, I call," Jorgensen announced.

Theo Jorgensen: {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs}
[Removed:551]: {J-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}

The flop of {J-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} improved [Removed:552] to a pair of jacks, and he stayed ahead after the {4-Spades} turn and {J-Spades} river completed the board. Jorgensen was eliminated in 3rd place and had to settle for a payday of €150,850.

Jorgensen Putting the Pressure on

Level 25 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

Jorgensen has long been short stacked, but the longtime Team PokerStars Pro have really put the heat on since play became threehanded.

First Pierre Neuville limped the button for 50,000 and [Removed:551] completed the small blind before Jorgensen put in a green tower of chips worth 500,000. That was enough to seal the deal.

The very next hand [Removed:552] opened the button for 100,000, only to find Jorgensen put his 1,1 million at risk once again. [Removed:552]'s hand found the muck and Jorgensen chipped up.

Michael Kane Eliminated in 4th Place (€124,330)

Level 25 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante
Michael Kane
Michael Kane

Michael Kane was getting suspiciously short but won a little back by putting his 535,000 at risk over a 125,000 open from Pierre Neuville. Neuville folded and Kane chipped up to 710,000.

The very next hand the Scot was all-in once again. [Removed:551] opened the button to 100,000, Kane announced all-in, Jorgensen folded in the big blind and as soon as the dealer had confirmed the amount, [Removed:552] put in the chips.

Kane's {K-Clubs}{9-Clubs} was looking for help against the {K-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} of [Removed:552], and he did get a few additional outs to a chop on the {A-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{K-Hearts} flop.

The turn was as exciting as it gets as the {9-Diamonds} rolled off, giving Kane two pair and [Removed:552] the flush draw.

The river {3-Diamonds} completed the diamond flush for the Austrian, and thus Kane joined his buddies Ludovic Geilich and Niall Farrell on the rail.

Level 25 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

Hand 1

Theo Jorgensen shoved for the second time in a row, and this time it was for 415,000 first to act. Pierre Neuville min-raised from one seat over and that forced out [Removed:551] and Michael Kane.

Theo Jorgensen: {K-Spades}{8-Spades}
Pierre Neuville: {7-Clubs}{7-Hearts}

"Oh, I am in a better shape than I thought," Jorgensen said and then immediately paired his king on the {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} flop. "That's a good start," the Team PokerStars Pro continued and the {6-Hearts} turn and {Q-Diamonds} river were two blanks.

Hand 2

Neuville claimed the blinds and antes with a raise to 130,000.

Hand 3

Jorgensen raised to 150,000 in the small blind and Neuville called in the big blind. On the {K-Spades}{J-Spades}{J-Diamonds} flop, Jorgensen checked, Neuville bet 200,000 and forced a fold.
