Jouhkimainen Ousts Two with a Set of Snowmen

Level 11 : 3,000/6,000, 900 ante

Matthias Eibinger opened for 12,600 from the hijack before Joni Jouhkimainen three-bet jammed to 195,240 from the cutoff. "GGeKKo" called off from the big blind for 51,622 and Eibinger committed his stack of 142,749 as well.

GGeKKo: {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}
Matthias Eibinger: {6-Spades}{6-Clubs}
Joni Jouhkimainen: {8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}

Jouhkimainen's snowmen found a friend on the {7-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{3-Spades}{10-Clubs}{8-Clubs} board to improve to a set and two players seats were empty.

Volkmann Doubles Martirosian

Level 11 : 3,000/6,000, 900 ante

Bruno Volkmann opened for 12,000 from under the gun and was called by Rui Ferreira from the hijack, Artur Martirosian from the small blind, and Aleksejs Ponakovs from the big blind.

The quartet of players all checked the {6-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} flop. Martirosian led out for 37,925 on the {3-Spades} turn and was called by both Ponakovs and Volkmann.

The {a-Hearts} river completed the board and the action checked over to Volkmann who bet 147,777. Martirosian had slightly less than this in his stack and called, while Ponakovs folded.

Volkmann had air on the river with {10-Hearts}{8-Hearts} and Martirosian doubled up with second pair after he turned over {q-Spades}{j-Spades}.

Parssinen Doubles Gottlieb

Level 11 : 3,000/6,000, 900 ante

Lev "LevMeAlone" Gottlieb opened for 12,000 from under the gun and was called by Eelis Parssinen from the small blind and "jakedini" from the big blind.

Gottlieb continued on the {4-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} with a bet of 13,662. Parssinen called before "jakedini" raised to 51,324. Both Parssinen and Gottlieb called.

The action checked again to Gottlieb on the {q-Spades} turn and he jammed for 175,544. Parssinen jammed for a little bit more and "jakedini" got out of the way.

Lev "LevMeAlone" Gottlieb: {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}
Eelis Parssinen: {4-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}

Both players flopped a set on a complete cooler of a hand for Parssinen. He was unable to get a one-outer on neither the {q-Spades} turn nor on the {a-Spades} river and was down to just one big blind.

Christian Rudolph managed to scoop that up along with a tasty $6,250 bounty on the next hand when his {9-Hearts}{3-Hearts} got there against Parssinen's {q-Spades}{10-Spades}.

We haven't seen the end of Parssinen as he got back into the tournament after the hand for his second bullet.

Martirosian's Cowboys Earn Him a Double

Level 12 : 3,500/7,000, 1,000 ante

Artur Martirosian opened for 15,400 from early position before Rui Ferreira three-bet to 51,800 from the button. Artur Martirosian four-bet shoved for 383,035 and Ferreira called to set-up a huge pot.

Artur Martirosian: {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}
Rui Ferreira: {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}

The {2-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{7-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} board was all under Ferreira's tens but this wasn't good enough to beat cowboys and Martirosian doubled his stack.

Martirosian Doubles Haxton

Level 12 : 3,500/7,000, 1,000 ante

Isaac Haxton opened for 15,400 from the hijack before he called a three-bet by Artur Martirosian from the button to 42,000.

Haxton check-raised the {k-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{9-Spades} flop from 25,375 to 59,500. Martirosian jammed and Haxton called off for 152,266.

Isaac Haxton: {k-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}
Artur Martirosian: {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}

It was looking good for Martirosian to collect a bounty and move into the chip lead but that was not to be as Haxton improved to a straight after the {j-Hearts} turn and {10-Clubs} river appeared on the board.
