Petursson Takes Down a Pot

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

On a flop of {9-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{3-Hearts} in a pot of nearly 35,000, Jose Alberto Pimentel checked from the hijack and Johann Petursson bet out 13,000, which was called.

The {5-Spades} hit the turn and Pimentel checked again. Petursson elected on a bet of 29,000 and without much thought Pimentel folded, awarding the pot to Petursson.

Urban Scores Massive Pot

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

The action was picked up in a pot of roughly 20,000 on a flop of {8-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{3-Hearts}. David Urban checked from under the gun and Jon Gurrutxaga Alba bet 11,000 on the button. Urban check-raised to 38,000 and Alba made the call.

The turn came the {10-Hearts} and Urban continued with pressure to 50,000 which was again called by Alba. On the {5-Clubs} river Urban took a moment before moving all in, covering the roughly 155,000 stack of Alba who went deep in the tank.

After much deliberation, Alba folded and the huge pot was shipped to Urban who has nearly reached the half a million chip mark.

Bruns Puts Max Pressure On Yosifov

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

In a pot of roughly 20,000 on a board showing {k-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{9-Spades}, Dimitar Yosifov check-called a bet of 13,000 in the small blind from Bjorn Bruns on the button.

The turn came the {8-Hearts} and Yosifov checked again. Bruns elected to move all in, covering the approximately 54,000 remaining of Yosifov. After some thought, Yosifov eventually folded and the chips were sent to Bruns who added to his healthy stack.

Van Der Swaluw Gets There for a Big Payday

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

On a heads-up turn board of {10-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{7-Clubs}, Marcelo Bonanata bet 25,000 into the already large pot.

His opponent, Alexander Van Der Swaluw, then decided to move all in for more. Bononata made the call and the two players tabled their cards, with Van Der Swaluw at risk.

Alexander Van Der Swaluw: {j-Clubs}{9-Clubs}
Marcelo Bonanata: {k-Diamonds}{10-Spades}

Although Bonanata made the right call as he was ahead, the river {10-Clubs} gave Van Der Swaluw a flush, beating Bonanata's trip tens.

Van Der Swaluw was pushed the massive pot and his stack rocketed up to 185,000.
