Eracleous Doubles Through Albrigsten

Level 5 : 300/600, 600 ante

Ronny Albrigsten opened to 1,500 from early position before Marios Eracleous jammed for 19,200 from the hijack. Action folded back to Albrigsten who said "let's hope it's a flip," as he called.

Marios Eracleous: {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}
Ronny Albrigsten: {3-Clubs}{3-Spades}

It wasn't a flip as Albrigsten was drawing to two immediate outs and he failed to hit either of them as the board ran out with the {a-Hearts}{10-Spades}{2-Spades}{8-Spades}{9-Diamonds}.

Level 6 : 400/800, 800 ante

With around 25,000 in the middle on a board showing the {10-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{2-Spades}, Mikael Bratt (early position) bet 11,000 before calling the 37,300 all-in from Marion Mizzi (late position).

Marion Mizzi: {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}
Mikael Bratt: {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}
