Jorstad Picks Up Aces, Mamut Eliminated

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Espen Jorstad
Espen Jorstad

Espen Jorstad raised to 1,200 from under the gun, which Paco Kaplan called, one seat to his left. When the action folded to Nikolai Mamut in the small blind, he moved all in for 2,300. With the action reopened, Jorstad four-bet to 5,600, which forced Kaplan out.

Nikolai Mamut: K3 All in
Espen Jorstad: AA

The 444 flop left Mamut needing a miracle, and the deck was unforthcoming as the 2 turn and 2 river completed the board.

Fazil Doubles With Just Five-High

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

The action was joined as Markus Fazil was all-in and at risk versus Rokas Asipauskas. The flop was already face up, showing 669, as the players revealed their cards.

Markus Fazil: 55 All in
Rokas Asipauskas: 22

The 3 turn and 9 river left both players playing the two pair on the board.

Critically, Fazil's five-high kicker was enough to claim the pot. Asipauskas, as a result, was left nursing a very short stack.

Risco Hits the Rail

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

Seeing a raise ahead of him, Sebastian Risco moved his stack of roughly 14,000 into the middle from the button. Alexey Logachev followed suit in the small blind, moving all in for 39,700. The original raiser folded, and the players flipped their cards face up.

Sebastian Risco: 99 All in
Alexey Logachev: JJ

The K34103 runout was no help to Risco, who took his leave from the table.

PokerStars Revamps Power Path With New $530 Bronze Pass

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
PokerStars Power Path
PokerStars Power Path

PokerStars has rolled out a major update to its Power Path qualification system, introducing a brand-new $530 Bronze Power Pass as part of a restructure designed to smooth out progression between buy-in levels.

The changes, which came into effect on April 27, leave the upper echelons of Power Path unchanged with the $10,300 Gold Pass and $2,500 Silver Pass both remaining in place, while the main adjustments come further down the ladder, where PokerStars has reshaped its Bronze tier and added a new entry point for lower-stakes players.

Romanello Fills Up on River to Survive

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
Roberto Romanello
Roberto Romanello

The action was joined as big blind Roberto Romanello committed his remaining 15,900 into the middle on a JJ69 board, and Sebastian Risco, playing from the cutoff, had him at risk.

Roberto Romanello: Jx8x All in
Sebastian Risco: 6x6x

Risco had flopped a full house, but the board-pairing 9 river improved Romanello to a better boat, giving him a full double up.

Schemion's Squeeze Poorly Timed

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
Ole Schemion
Ole Schemion

Przemyslaw Cebrat opened to 1,000 from under the gun, which collected calls from both the button and the small blind. The action was then on Ole Schemion in the big blind, who saw an opportunity, as he moved all in for 12,000. Cebrat responded by moving all in as well, prompting both callers to fold.

Ole Schemion: AJ All in
Przemyslaw Cebrat: AQ

The 1088 flop brought some hope of a chopped pot for Schemion, but the 5 turn and 9 river were unforthcoming, seeing him eliminated.

Parrinello Falls to Big Slick

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

Seeing a raise from Ruben Gravlien ahead of him, Sergio Parrinello moved his stack of roughly 13,500 into the middle. The action folded back to Gravlien, who made the call.

Sergio Parrinello: KQ All in
Ruben Gravlien: AK

Parrinello found himself in a dire situation, and was unable to find a way out of it, as the board ran out 841086.
