Both Danes Go Down

Level 20 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Morten 'Zeeth' Ottosen
Morten 'Zeeth' Ottosen

Gaetan Macaluso put his last 3,000 in the middle from early position and Kenneth Pedersen moved all in as well for his last 67,000. They were called by Mohamed Ammar in the small blind and the player in the big blind folded.

Kenneth Pedersen: {a-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}
Gaetan Macaluso: {6-Spades}{6-Hearts}
Mohamed Ammar: {4-Spades}{4-Clubs}

The board ran out {k-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{j-Spades}{k-Clubs}{9-Hearts} and that meant that Macaluso wins the main pot and Ammar the side pot. Pedersen got eliminated from the tournament.

Fellow Dane Morten 'Zeeth' Ottosen was eliminated from the tournament on another table after he lost with pocket eights against pocket tens.

Both get to collect €492.

Joery van Limbergen eliminated on the bubble

Level 20 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Joery van Limbergen pushed all in from the under-the-gun position for his last 12,000 and Bernarddus van Dooren limped. The player on the button, Juri Zaprudnov, moved all in for 19,000 and the player on the small blind called. The big blind checked.

The flop fell {2-Clubs}{j-Spades}{8-Clubs} and all players checked. They did so as well on the {3-Clubs} turn and the {a-Hearts} river. Van Limbergen showed {5-Spades}{5-Diamonds} but he lost against the {a-Diamonds}{8-Spades} of Van Dooren. Zaprudnov was all in as well and he lost with {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}. He had the bigger stack so he will collect the min-cash of €492.

The tournament is now officially in the money.

The Hope of the Lex Veldhuis Community

Level 20 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Tomislav Savov bubbled an online satellite to come to the Lex Live Event in Namur so he decided to go anyways. When he arrived he spun up €5 to a Main Event buy-in of €225 and he is building a stack on the bubble.

Savov, Morten 'Zeeth' Ottosen, and Kenneth Pedersen are the last hope of the Lex Veldhuis community in the Main Event.

The pace of play is very slow and every hand is taking about 8 minutes. There will be a break shortly.

A Very Short Stack

Level 20 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Gaetan Macaluso sat in the big blind with just 1,5 big blinds and he folded {a-Clubs}{5-Clubs} when a player from middle position raised to him. He then folded his small blind the next hand and he is now left with just 3,000. With the big blind ante format he can still wait an entire orbit before he is forced all in.

Level: 20

Blinds: 10,000/20,000

Ante: 20,000

Radu Wins Big Pot on the Bubble

Level 19 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Gabriel-Mihai Radu checked on the {3-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{q-Spades} board and Igor Picone bet 145,000. He was called and the river was the {10-Diamonds}. This time Picone check-called a 245,000 bet and he won the hand with {j-Spades}{j-Hearts}.

Smolders Bluffs on the Bubble

Level 19 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Bjorn Smolders raised from early position to 36,000 but the player in the small blind thought he could still limp. Pascal van Bouwel called the raise and so did big blind Aliosha Staes.

The flop fell {3-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} and it checked to the initial raiser. He continued with a bet of 40,000 and he was called by both Van Bouwel and Staes.

The turn was the {3-Hearts} and it checked to Smolders again. He put both his opponents all-in and Van Bouwel tanked for 10 minutes. He eventually folded and said he folded {q-Clubs}{10-Clubs} after Staes folded as well.
