Three in a Row for Pärssinen

Level 26 : 60,000/120,000, 15,000 ante

Eelis "EEE27" Pärssinen limped the small blind and David "MonkeyBausss" Laka checked from the big blind. The {a-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{6-Hearts} flop was checked and Pärssinen's bet of 157,500 on the {6-Clubs} turn earned a call from Laka. Pärssinen also bet the {4-Spades} river for 472,500 and Laka folded.

Pärssinen then stole the blinds and antes in the next two hands to make it three pots in a row, pulling close to six million in chips.

Laka doubles through Boghean

David "MonkeyBausss" Laka limped in the cutoff and eventually called all-in when Andrei "ragAAAila19" Boghean pushed with the superior stack from the button.

David "MonkeyBausss" Laka: {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}
Andrei "ragAAAila19" Boghean: {a-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}

Nothing much changed on the {6-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{2-Hearts} flop and Laka locked up the hand on the {q-Spades} turn to make the {10-Spades} river a formality.

Two hands later, Laka came along in the big blind when facing a button min-raise by Benjamin "bencb789" Rolle and he also check-called a bet of 153,750 on the {9-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{3-Clubs} flop. Laka check-called for another 370,000 on the {q-Diamonds} turn and bet the {j-Clubs} river for 1,010,000 to shut down Rolle.

Pärssinen On the Rise

Level 26 : 60,000/120,000, 15,000 ante

Eelis "EEE27" Pärssinen min-raised to 240,000 and received a call by Benjamin "bencb789" Rolle in the big blind. Rolle check-called for 172,200 on the {a-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} flop and check-folded the {5-Spades} turn when Pärssinen made it 624,600 to go.

Two hands later a limped battle of the blinds saw Pärssinen check-call 120,000 by David "MonkeyBausss" Laka with the flop reading {10-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} and he did so again for 155,000 on the {5-Diamonds} turn. The {a-Spades} on the river was checked and {9-Spades}{3-Spades} did the trick for the Finn.

Joao "Naza114" Vieira Eliminated in 6th Place ($127,249)

Level 26 : 60,000/120,000, 15,000 ante
Joao Vieira
Joao Vieira

The action started with a raise to 240,000 from under the gun by Joao "Naza114" Vieira and he was called by chip leader Benjamin "bencb789" Rolle out of the big blind.

Once they checked through the {8-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{3-Hearts} flop, Rolle bet the {9-Spades} turn for 660,000 into 630,000, which Vieira called. On the {5-Clubs} river, Rolle moved all-in and that sent Vieira deep into the think tank. He used all but the last 30 seconds and called with {a-Spades}{q-Spades} only to get shown {3-Clubs}{2-Clubs} for trips treys by Rolle.

Vieira has become the 6th place finisher and takes home $127,249.

Four-Bet Jam by Rolle and Pärssinen

Level 26 : 60,000/120,000, 15,000 ante

A series of successful three-bets ended when Benjamin "bencb789" Rolle opened to 200,000 and Joao "Naza114" Vieira three-bet to 700,000. Rolle then four-bet all-in and Vieira quickly ducked out of the way. Apart from that, no other recent hand has seen a flop and Rolle cemented his grip on the top spot for now.

In the first hand of the new level, Eelis "EEE27" Pärssinen then also successfully four-bet jammed into David "MonkeyBausss" Laka to jump into second place.

Vieira Loses to Rolle and Laka

Level 25 : 50,000/100,000, 12,500 ante

Joao "Naza114" Vieira lost a portion of his stack against Benjamin "bencb789" Rolle in a battle under the gun versus big blind when he gave up on the {9-Clubs}{6-Spades}{3-Spades}{9-Spades} turn.

A couple of hands later, David "MonkeyBausss" Laka raised to 220,000 and Vieira defended the big blind. They checked the {9-Hearts}{4-Spades}{3-Diamonds} flop and Vieira's bet of 385,000 on the {5-Diamonds} turn was called. The {5-Spades} river was checked again and Vieira tabled the {q-Hearts}{6-Hearts}, which Laka had beat with {a-Spades}{k-Spades}.

Laka min-raised to 220,000 again the next hand and folded when Vieira three-bet to 1.7 million.

In a battle of the blinds between the two Spanish poker pros, David "MonkeyBausss" Laka limped in and instantly called the shove of Juan "Malaka$tyle" Pardo for just over 10 big blinds in total.

Juan "Malaka$tyle" Pardo: {k-Clubs}{8-Spades}
David "MonkeyBausss" Laka: {a-Spades}{10-Spades}

Level 25 : 50,000/100,000, 12,500 ante

Benjamin "bencb789" Rolle made it 200,000 to go and was called by Joao "Naza114" Vieira on the button. There was no betting action until the {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}{5-Hearts}{4-Spades}{q-Diamonds} river. Rolle checked the third street in a row and Vieira bet 370,000, which earned a call and the Portuguese pro won the pot with {k-Diamonds}{q-Spades} for two pair.

Rolle raised to 200,000 once more and was called by David "MonkeyBausss" Laka on the button, Andrei "ragAAAila19" Boghean also filled up from the big blind. After a checked through {j-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{2-Spades} flop, Laka bet the {j-Diamonds} turn for 191,680 and Boghean check-called. No action followed on the {5-Diamonds} river and Laka won the pot with {7-Clubs}{7-Spades} versus {6-Hearts}{6-Spades}.

Christian "WATnlos" Rudolph got through with a three-bet jam as the bottom stacks frequently switch their narrow advantages.
