Lon Doubles Through Mondrus

Level 36 : 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Ondrej Lon
Ondrej Lon

Ondrej Lon defended his big blind to a Boris Mondrus open and checked the {j-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{7-Spades} flop to his opponent.

After giving it considerable thought, Lon called with {j-Spades}{6-Spades} for a pair of jacks, and Mondrus showed {10-Spades}{9-Diamonds} for a two-way straight draw.

The turn {10-Hearts} gave Mondrus a pair as well, but the river {j-Hearts} improved Lon to trip jacks and he doubled up through the chip leader.

He remains the short stack at the table.

Danilo Velasevic moved all in for 8,950,000 from under the gun. Boris Mondrus was in the next position and asked for a count before moving all in himself. The other two players folded.

Danilo Velasevic: {7-Spades}{7-Clubs}
Boris Mondrus: {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}

The flop came {8-Clubs}{2-Spades}{4-Hearts} and the turn {a-Hearts} gave Mondrus a set. Velasevic thumped the table, and as if to rub salt into the start-of-day chip leader's wounds, the {7-Hearts} came on the river.

Velasevic takes home €106,600 for his fourth place finish.

Lon Secures Vital Double in Crazy Hand

Level 35 : 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Ondrej Lon
Ondrej Lon

Ondrej Lon moved all in from under the gun for 6,650,000 and Danilo Velasevic called in the next position. The other two players both folded.

Ondrej Lon: {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}
Danilo Velasevic: {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}

Lon was ahead, but the {9-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{8-Hearts} flop gave his opponent a set. The turn, however, was a {j-Hearts} putting Lon back into the lead!

There was the potential for even more drama should a nine or a heart roll off on the river, but the {6-Clubs} improved both players - and more importantly Lon - to a full house.
