Erlandsson Avoids a Big Sweat

Georgios Tavoularis

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Hans Erlandsson opened to 3,500 from early position, with both Vaclav Drbal from middle position and Marek Dovhun from the big blind making the call.

The dealer revealed a flop of 6♥7♥Q♣, and all players elected to check.

When the 8♥ hit the turn, Dovhun took the initiative and led out for 4,000. Erlandsson instantly moved all in, and Drbal quickly folded. Dovhun called, putting his tournament life at risk.

Marek Dovhun: J♥9♦ All in
Hans Erlandsson: K♦Q♠

Erlandsson had to fade Dovhun’s open-ended straight and flush draw, and he managed to do so with the 4♣ on the river, securing the pot.

Vaclav Drbal	90,000

Christos Xanthopoulos: A♠K♥ All in
Hassan Sleiman: A♥9♣

Xanthopoulos was way ahead and just had to avoid a nine to double up. The K♦ dropped on the river to give Xanthopoulos top two pair and he earned the double.

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

The action was picked up on a flop of 6♣8♥10♣, where Grzegorz Kozieja faced a bet of 7,000 from Christina Read. Kozieja made the call.
