Astedt Falls to Finger

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Niklas Astedt
Niklas Astedt

Niklas Astedt moved all in and saw Martin Finger call.

Astedt: {9-Hearts}{9-Spades}
Finger: {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}

Board: {2-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{8-Diamonds}

Astedt's pocket nines were dominated by Finger's pocket tens, and there was no miracle board for the Swede who saw his second bullet come to no use.

Eliminations and Re-Entries

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Siden Eliminated by Ruan

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Tomas Paiva called from under the gun for 1,200, as did Jiayu Ruan. Anton Siden made it 4,600 in the next seat, and Hao Tian called from the big blind after the action had folded to him.

Paiva folded, and Ruan raised to 26,200. Siden had less and called before Tain folded.

Jiayu Ruan: {9-Hearts}{9-Spades}
Anton Siden: {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}

Board: {2-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{8-Diamonds}

In a classic flip, Siden was at risk and needed help from the board. But Ruan's pocket nines held and Siden was eliminated.

Riess Down Under 20 Bigs

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

The pair checked the {8-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds} flop and Galakhov checked the {a-Diamonds} turn to Riess. Riess bet 2,200 and Galakhov check-raised all in. Riess quickly folded, and was left with just 16,000 in chips behind.

The completed board was down {8-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{2-Hearts}, and Pavel Plesuv was all in from the big blind for 46,000.

Joris Ruijs was the player with the decision to make and thought for a minute before opted to call.

Plesuv tabled {9-Hearts}{8-Spades} for two pair, and Ruijs mucked.

Plesuv doubled up to 130,000 with Ruijs now playing 140,000.

Updated Chip Counts

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Veiga Makes the Right Call

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

With a full board of {2-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} out between Thomas Muehloecker and Diogo Veiga, Muehloecker had bet 21,000 into a pot of around 30,000.

Veiga had used four time extensions with his decision before he eventually opted to call.

Muehloecker confidently turned over {a-Hearts}{j-Spades} but Veiga won with {j-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} for two pair.

Someone at the table questioned the tank, perhaps suggesting it was an easier call than the tank suggested.

"Now that I see ace-jack it is," replied Veiga who gathered the chips in and added them to his stack.
