Satubayev Chips Up

Level 2 : 100/300, 0 ante

With 16,000 in the middle and the flop showing {Q-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{8-Clubs}, Shyngis Satubayev checked over to Ronald Keijzer and the Dutchman bet 7,000. Satubayev called and checked the {Q-Spades} on the turn once more. Keijzer bet 11,000 and his opponent called.

The {7-Hearts} on the river was checked through and Keijzer announced a straight, though, Satubayev was first to show. He flipped over {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{10-Spades} for the queen-high straight and Keijzer mucked.

Van Holsteyn Recovers Some Chips

Level 2 : 100/300, 0 ante

On the heads-up flop of {9-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{5-Spades}, Pim van Holsteyn bet 2,200 in the small blind and Martin Kozlov called on the button. The {J-Clubs} turn and {J-Diamonds} river were checked and van Holsteyn rolled over {9-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{6-Clubs} for a straight. Despite winning this pot, the start hasn't been as kind for the Dutchman, who has fewer than half the starting stack right now.

Level 2 : 100/300, 0 ante

Fraser MacIntyre raised to 600 and Johan Espholm three-bet to 2,000 from one seat over. Jean-Noel Thorel squeezed to 7,000 and that forced out MacIntyre, while Espholm called. On the flop of {10-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{2-Spades}, Espholm checked and subsequently check-raised all in when facing a bet of 10,000 by Thorel. The Frenchman double-checked his cards and folded.

Dowling Chips Up

Level 3 : 200/400, 0 ante

Dan Shak and Chris Dowling have chipped up early and Bogdan Capitan has joined the mix, while Pim van Holsteyn dropped some more chips. The Dutchman was involved in a 16,400 chip pot with Dowling and checked the {K-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{K-Diamonds} river. Dowling bet 15,000, which essentially represented the remaining stack of van Holsteyn, who opted to fold.
