Van Rooij Chips Up in Showdown Against Muradov

Level 7 : 400/800, 800 ante

Three ways to the {j-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{5-Hearts} river, Dutchman Merijn Van Rooij bet 3,500 into a pot of around 12,000. He received one call by Shakhabiddin Muradov on the button while a third player in early position folded.

Van Rooij tabled the {q-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} for trips jacks and Muradov double-checked his cards before sending them into the muck.

Jorstad Eliminated by Saliba

Level 7 : 400/800, 800 ante
Espen Jorstad
Espen Jorstad

The cards were already on their backs in a preflop contest in which Espen Jorstad was the player at risk for what appeared to be 38,400 as he was looked up by Justin Saliba with the superior stack.

Espen Jorstad: {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}
Justin Saliba: {k-Clubs}{k-Spades}

The dominated pair found no help on the {4-Spades}{3-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} board and that spelled the end for the Norwegian, who stuck around a bit to discuss a previous hand with Pedro Marques that the duo had played earlier.

Saliba, in the meanwhile, moved to more than two times the average stack with the latest knockout.

Rezaei Eliminated After Dinner

Level 7 : 400/800, 800 ante

Daniel Rezaei was down to just two T-500 chips after dinner and got them in from under the gun. Alexandre Saxod raised to 2,500 and Tim Klaversma called in the big blind.

The {6-Hearts}{3-Spades}{2-Diamonds} flop was checked and Klaversma bet the {3-Clubs} turn for 2,600, Saxod folded.

"I have a six," Rezaei said and exposed the {6-Clubs} first to which the Dutchman replied "that's probably good" as he turned over {j-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}. The second card of Rezaei was the {10-Clubs} and Klaversma spiked the {8-Hearts} on the river to eliminate the Austrian.

Level 7 : 400/800, 800 ante

Jerome Finck: {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}
Alexander Tkatschew: {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}

The board ran out {5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{8-Clubs} and the jacks held to give Tkatschew the pot and send Finck to the rail.
