Christian Pederson Eliminated in 8th Place (€103,700)

Level 29 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Christian Pedersen
Christian Pedersen

In the previous hand, Toni Kaukua raised from the hijack and faced a three-bet from Pedersen. Kaukua folded.

The next hand, action folded around to Kaukua, who raised to 200,000 from the cutoff. Christian Pedersen put in a three-bet again, this time from the small blind to 700,000. Kaukua didn't want to be pushed around and quickly four-bet all in for a few million.

It turned out Pedersen wasn't playing games. He had a legitimate hand. Kaukua on the other hand was attempting a four-bet bluff to get his opponent to fold.

Pedersen called and players flipped their cards.

Christian Pedersen: {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}
Toni Kaukua: {a-Hearts}{2-Hearts}

The board ran out {7-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} to give Kaukua a pair of aces. Players around the table looked visibly shocked. Pedersen left the table in a storm, uttering a profanity under his breath that can't be repeated here. Pederson was eliminated in eighth place for €103,700.

Players were still discussing it as the next hand was dealt.

"What you think that was a fish move?" said Kaukua.

Toni Kaukua opened to 300,000 from the hijack and Diogo Coelho called from the cutoff before Martin Stausholm also called out of the big blind.

All three players checked on the {2-Spades}{j-Spades}{2-Hearts} flop and the same action took place on the {a-Diamonds} turn. All three players checked once more on the {8-Spades} river and his opponents were surprised when Stausholm turned over {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} to win the pot with jacks full of deuces.

"Pretty good," commented Kaukua.

Diogo Coelho
Diogo Coelho

Martin Stausholm opened to 400,000 from the hijack and Toni Kaukua three-bet jammed from the cutoff before Diogo Coelho went into the tank from the button.

Kaukua clearly wasn't expecting action Coelho, one of the few at the table who could seriously dent his stack, and gave a nervous look before his opponent announced "all in" for 5,800,000. Stausholm got out of the way.

Diogo Coelho: {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}
Toni Kaukua: {4-Clubs}{4-Hearts}

It was a massive flip and Coelho took a big lead as the flop landed {k-Hearts}{3-Spades}{a-Spades} to give him two pair. The {5-Clubs} turn gave Kaukua outs to a Wheel, but the {q-Hearts} on the river confirmed the double into the chip lead for Coelho.

Diogo Coelho opened to 400,000 from the hijack and Diogo Coelho called off for his final big blind on the button.

Mauricio Ferreira Pais: {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}
Diogo Coelho: {5-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}

Pais was in as good of shape to double up as he could be, though the flop of {5-Spades}{10-Clubs}{9-Clubs} created the possibility of a brutal beat. The {3-Diamonds} on the turn didn't change things but the {5-Hearts} on the river gave Coelho trips and Pais looked disgusted as he was painfully eliminated in fifth place after patiently waiting for a good hand with his short stack.
