Hennen Makes "Easy Call" to Rise in Ranks

Frank Visser

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Atte Franssila raised under the gun, after which Rutger Hennen three-bet from the big blind. Fransilla then four-bet shipped his stack of 130,000 in the middle and Hennen immediately called.

Atte Franssila: A♥10♦ All in
Rutger Hennen: K♥K♣

The 3♦4♦3♥ flop presented no danger for Hennen, but the 10♥ turn gave Franssila some more outs. They did not appear on the 6♥ river, however, and Franssila booked a late exit.

"Well, that was easy," someone at the table commented while Hennen increased his big stack even further.

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Darren Harbinson had opened as first to act before David O'Connor three-bet from the big blind. Harbinson made the call to create a 37,000 pot.

O'Connor then jammed all in for 19,500 on the 6♥9♣Q♥ flop and Harbinson decided he was committed and made the call.

David O'Connor: K♠K♣ All in
Darren Harbinson: 3♠3♥

The 6♣ turn and 4♥ river changed nothing and O'Connor raked in the double-up.

"Was my acting good?" O'Connor inquired.

"It was fucking terrible," Harbinson replied in good spirits.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Calogero Morreale got his 40,000 remaining chips in from the button against big stack Boris Turcan in the cutoff.

Boris Turcan: 9♠9♦ All in
Calogero Morreale: K♣Q♥

The 6♣7♣9♥ flop saw Turcan obtain a massive lead with his set, and the hand was over when the 3♥ turn left Morreale drawing dead. The 10♣ river did not matter anymore and Morreale said his goodbyes while Turcan remained among the leaders in the room.

Jennings Left Short After Big Pot

Frank Visser

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

The action was caught on a board of 8♦9♦4♥10♠. Frankie McPartland checked out of the small blind and Michael Gilligan followed suit in the big blind. Rory Jennings then fired a bet of 17,000 into the pot of 30,000 and the action was back on McPartland.

He opted to shove all in for 49,700, forcing Gilligan to give up his hand. Jennings asked for an exact count and tanked for a bit before electing to call to put his opponent at risk.

Frankie McPartland: Q♠J♥ All in
Rory Jennings: A♠10♣

Jennings' top pair was already drawing dead against the straight of McPartland, and he waved goodbye to his chips as the 3♣ river completed the board, being left with 12 big blinds.

Campbell Leads Two Times Pot

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Paul Campbell opened the action with a raise to 4,000 from under the gun. Raymond Flynn then made it 11,000 to go in the cutoff and Campbell obliged with a call.

On the 10♥7♠A♦ flop, Campbell promptly announced his all-in, covering the 45,400 chips of Campbell. The latter made a snap call and the cards were tabled.

Raymond Flynn: K♦Q♦
Paul Campbell: A♥K♣

Flynn had gotten creative with his flopped gutshot but ran into the top pair of Campbell. The 4♦ river gave Flynn a flush draw to go along with his straight draw, but the 7♥ river bricked out and Campbell secured a double-up.
