8. OPEN
Soren Jensen raises to 11,000 UTG. Alex Kravchenko then moves all in. Sigbjorn Mortueit then moves all in from the small blind. Soren Jensen instantly calls and we have a three way all in with Alex Kravchenko covering both players by a little.
Alex
Sigbjorn
Soren
The flop is giving Alex a gutshot draw, the turn is the but the river is the to triple up to 150,000. Alex and Soren are now both on life support with 10,000 and 18,000 respectively.
On a flop of , Joris Jaspers checked, Trond Eidsvig bet 46,000, and Jaspers raised to 139,000, enough to set Eidsvig all in. After much deliberation, Eidsvig called.
Eidsvig
Jaspers
Eidsvig was ahead with tens and nines, but Jaspers had an open-ended straight draw. He filled the straight on the turn when the fell. No miracle for Eidsvig on the river and he hit the rail. He'll earn $12,574 for his efforts.
After the hand, Jaspers' stack was well over the 450,000 mark.
Alex Kravchenko and Peter Petersen have both been eliminated. It is becoming very difficult to get accurate hands as the tournament is now taking place in a smaller room than before and our access is very limited.
Gino Alacqua just won a pot pre-flop on the feature table with a minimum re-raise pre-flop. The Italian just announced "Double," and the suspiciously small raise prompted all his opponents to fold.
Peter Eastgate opened the pot for a 15,000 raise from early position. Rasmus Nielsen asked him how much he had behind.
"About 110," said Eastgate.
Nielsen put in a re-raise to 50,000 and with the action folded back around to Eastgate, he moved all in. Nielsen called.
Eastgate
Nielsen
The flop was , making Nielsen an instant full house. The turn was the , the river was the and Eastgate was eliminated, while Nielsen added another 120,000 to his ever-growing stack.
