PokerStars Ambassador Fintan Hand posted on his Instagram story a hand from earlier where he doubled with K♠K♥ against the A♦J♥ of an opponent.

He dodged straight outs on the Q♣10♠8♥J♦4♠ runout to double up, but found himself heading to the tournament exit shortly thereafter. He's now re-entered and seated once again in the Eureka Main Event.

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Peter Kvisthammar raised to 2,400 and got one caller before Daniel Veloson three-bet all in for 27,200. Kvisthammar four-bet all in and the other player folded.

Daniel Veloson: Q♠10♥ All in
Peter Kvisthammar: Q♥Q♣

Kvisthammar was in good shape but the K♥J♠8♣ flop gave Veloson outs to a straight. The turn 8♥ and river 7♦ saw Kvisthammar secure the pot, chip up to over 100,000 chips and send Veloson to the rail.

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Around 40,000 was in the middle on a completed board of A♠10♦6♦Q♣8♥, in a hand between Mohammad Najdi and Martin Tsvetanov.

Nadji led out with a bet of 12,500, and was faced with an all-in of 28,300 from Tsvetanov. Nadji didn't like it, but felt priced in and made the call.

Tsvetanov tabled A♥Q♦ for top two pair, which bested Nadji's K♦10♠ for a pair of tens.

Aces for Di Profio AGAIN

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Two players were all-in and at risk against Francesco Di Profio who earlier picked up aces in a hand where a fellow tablemate also had aces.

This time he had A♥A♠ and was up against the A♣K♥ of Alexandru-Bogdan Paraschiv and the 2♦2♥ of Andreas Loesche.

Paraschiv tapped the table after the J♣9♣5♣ flop, perhaps in anticipation of a fourth club coming to hand him the pot, but the 5♥4♥ runout bricked for both players and Di Profio sent them both to the rail.

Kai Cocklin

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

With around 25,000 chips in the pot on a board of 9♦5♣4♣5♠, Mohammad Najdi shoved for 21,000 from the big blind, and Pawel Wojciechowski made the call.

Mohammad Najdi: 4♠2♣ All in
Pawel Wojciechowski: A♠9♠

Najdi was in a spot of bother and needed a four on the river to survive. However, the 3♦ river couldn't save Najdi from the rail, and Wojciechowski's stack grew a little larger.
