Kings for Nilsen

Level 11 : 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

Luc Bindell opened to 5,000 from the hijack before Tore Nilsen moved all-in for 37,500.

Jacob Dideriksen-Nielsen re-jammed for 100,000 in the big blind and Bindell got out of the way.

Nilsen was ahead with pocket kings while Dideriksen-Nielsen had pocket eights. Coincidentally, the hand took place on the same table where Robert Lim's snowmen cracked an opponent's cowboys.

History would not repeat itself and Nilsen doubled up after the {j-Spades}{10-Spades}{5-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} runout.

Gala and Seiler Increasing Their Monster Stacks

Level 10 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

On a flop of {q-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{2-Clubs} Jonathan Seiler bet 9,000 and was met with a raise of 25,000 by Luc Van Hasendonck, Seiler made the call.

The turn brought a second {2-Diamonds} and Van Hasendonck repeated his 25,000 bet on the turn that Seiler called.

The river {7-Spades} was checked by both players. Seiler turned over {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts} which rocked Van Hasendonck who revealed he had {j-Clubs}{j-Spades}. Seiler commented to Van Hasendonck that he lost the minimum.

On a neighboring table with 65,000 in the middle on a board of {10-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{7-Spades}, Domenico Gala bet 29,500 which put Endrit Geci in the tank. Geci eventually found a call to discover Gala had {6-Spades}{9-Spades} for a straight. Gala is now over the 300,000 mark.

Hoogendijk Doubles

Level 10 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Kevin Houghton opened to 5,000 from middle position. Tony Mazier, on the button, called and then Jan Hoogendijk, in the small blind, jammed for 21,500. Only Houghton called.

Jan Hoogendijk: {8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}
Kevin Houghton: {a-Spades}{10-Diamonds}

Hoogendijk's pocket pair avoided his opponent's overcards and doubled up thanks to the {4-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{6-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{9-Spades}.

Chris Da Silva is a recent addition to their table and has enjoyed a post-break chip spurt.

Unibet Poker Spices Things Up With the Exciting Daily Specials

Level 10 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Unibet Poker
Unibet Poker

Unibet Poker has always been an online poker site that thinks outside the box when it comes to its poker offering. The recreational player friendly site continues to innovate with the launch of what it bills as Daily Specials.

The Daily Specials, as the name alludes to, take place each day of the week, with each day featuring a different theme and promotion for players to get their teeth into. Not only does this add plenty of value for Unibet Poker players, but is great for the site because it introduces its customers to games and formats they may not usually consider playing.
