Ensan and Jorstad Going Well

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

Espen Jorstad's day has been going well, and he appears to be the first player over the 100,000 chip mark.

Meanwhile, Hossein Ensan bet 3,000 on a {a-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{4-Spades}{k-Hearts} turn and was called by Bjorn Bruns. The river was the {5-Diamonds} and Ensan bet enough to put Bruns all in. Bruns folded and Ensan took down the pot. He sits on double starting stack.

Barny Boatman: {4-Spades}{4-Diamonds}
Timothy Adams: {k-Clubs}{q-Spades}

Boatman was able to survive the flip to double up his short stack as the board ran out {a-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}.

"A chip and a chair!" commented one of Boatman's table mates.

Nixon Makes the Right Call

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Anson Tsang completed in the small blind and Jamie Nixon bumped it up to 800 from the big blind. Tsang called.

Tsang checked on the flop of {7-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{3-Spades} and Nixon bet 700. Tsang called. Tsang checked again on the {6-Spades} and Nixon checked back.

The river brought the {9-Diamonds} and Tsang led out with a bet of 3,000. Nixon made a reluctant call. Tsang showed a bluff with {5-Hearts}{2-Hearts} for a missed straight and Nixon tabled {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts} for top pair.

Carneiro Takes from Jorstad and Andreev

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Espen Uhlen Joerstad
Espen Uhlen Joerstad

Leocir Carneiro opened to 800 from early position and Espen Jorstad three-bet to 2,500 from the cutoff. Andrey Andreev then cold-called out of the big blind and Carneiro also called.

Andreev and Carneiro both checked on the flop of {2-Spades}{4-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} and Jorstad bet 1,600. Both opponents called. Andreev and Carneiro both checked again on the {7-Diamonds} turn and Jorstad asked how much Andreev was playing.

"Less than you!" Andreev laughed.

Jorstad eventually checked leading to the {a-Spades} turn. Andreev checked again and Carneiro fired a bet of 7,000. Jorstad quickly folded and Andreev followed suit.
