Level 13 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

The action was joined as a tortured-looking Birion Marshallsea was deep in the tank.

With a board dealt to a turn showing 7♦5♠2♥J♥, Marshallsea had checked from the big blind before Johannes Grootelaar moved all in for 111,000.

Marshall apologised to the table for the time he was taking before ultimately deciding to fold. As he did, he turned one card face up, showing he was folding the J♠.

"Kicker problems?" one of his tablemates asked.

"Big kicker problems", he replied.

Level 13 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

The action folded to Michael Illingworth in the small blind, who moved all in for 25,000. Big blind Derek Baker made the call.

Michael Illingworth: 9♦5♣ All in
Derek Baker: 6♥4♦

The flop did provide jeopardy, as Illingworth improved to two pair on 5♥10♥9♥, but Baker flopped a flush draw.

The turn K♠ kept things as they were, with the river 9♠ improving Illingworth to a full house.

Level 13 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Christoph Moller opened to 16,000 in early position before seeing Manfred Quint move all in for 100,000.

The action returned to Moller, who was undecided on how to proceed. After a few moments' thought, he folded, and Quint flipped over J♣J♦, to show the table his hand.

Big Slick, Big Problems

Level 12 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Action was joined as Florent Colin had manoeuvred his stack into the middle preflop, and was at risk versus Rasmus Adjers.

Florent Colin: A♣J♠ All in
Rasmus Adjers: A♠K♥

It wasn't the situation Colin was hoping for, and he found no help from the deck. The final board 10♥9♥3♣Q♥5♥ only served to improve Adjers to a flush, eliminating Colin.
