Dvoress Busts van Hoof

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante
Jorryt van Hoof
Jorryt van Hoof

After a raise and three callers, Jorryt van Hoof squezed all in for 14,900 out of the big blind. Only Daniel Dvoress looked him up and they turned over their cards:

Dvoress: {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}
van Hoof: {10-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}

The board ran out {A-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{A-Diamonds} and the Dutchman will surely reenter either today or tomorrow.

Hall and Helppi in

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

Juha Helppi and Tom Hall entered after dinner and took seats right next to each other on the table of Julian Stuer and Rens Feenstra. The player in under the gun raised to 600 and Hall three-bet to 1,650 to get called by the initial raiser. Halls first continuation bet on the {7-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} flop, but the 3,600 on the {8-Clubs} turn did the trick to enforce a fold from the player in under the gun.

Almost Up to 100 Entries

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

The screens have been updated once again and make for 95 entries in total. This includes several players on their second bullet and the three digits in terms of participation may very well reached over the course of the next few hours still.

A Day to Forget for de Meulder

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

Przemyslaw Piotrowski opened to 700 and Nico Kuan called in the small blind. Matthias de Meulder squeezed all in for 4,200 in the big blind and Piotrowski quickly got out of the way. According to the colleagues of PokerCity, the two Dutchmen exchanged some table talk and Kuan then called with the {9-Spades}{10-Spades}.

De Meulder had received the call he wanted, holding {A-Hearts}{J-Spades}, but the board ran out {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{6-Spades}{4-Diamonds} to send the Belgian to the rail.

Kovtunov Busts; Reenters

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

Jasper Meijer van Putten got there with the {J-Spades}{10-Spades} against the pocket queens including {Q-Spades} of Vlado Banicevic and doubled up his stack while Gleb Kovtunov tried the same hazard shortly after. The Ukrainian three-bet to 2,000 and then four-bet jammed into a reraise by Clyde Tjauw Foe to take a flip with {Q-}{Q-} versus {A-}{K-}.

The Dutchman improved and Kovtunov had to purchase a second entry, getting him a seat to the right of current chip leader Piet Bakker. The latter spiked middle set against the top pair of Giorgio La Iacona and no miracle appeared anymore on turn nor river.

Dedusha Doubles Through Fergiatakis

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

After a preflop squeeze to 2,025 and three callers, Artan Dedusha bet the {3-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} flop for 3,250 from the under-the-gun position and was called only by Bart Fergiatakis. Dedusha then bet the {5-Hearts} turn as well and called all in for his last 18,900 when Fergiatakis had shoved.

Fergiatakis: {9-Spades}{9-Hearts}
Dedusha: {J-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}

The {Q-Spades} on the river was a blank and the Brit doubled, sending Fergiatakis back to starting stack.

News from the Outer Table

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

On the three-way turn with the board reading {K-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{J-Spades}{3-Diamonds}, Faraz Jaka bet 1,400 from the big blind and Kevin Killeen called from one seat over. Govert Metaal folded and the duo continued with the {9-Spades} on the river. Jaka bet 3,000 with about the same amount of chips behind.

Killeen gave it some thought and then called to receive an instant muck of the American.

Jaka three-bet jammed the next hand and was called by the initial raiser with {K-Hearts}{J-Spades}. Jaka's {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} held up on a board of {6-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{A-Hearts}{7-Spades} and he won't have to purchase another bullet just yet.

Milne Missing ... Not

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

The seat next to Morten Mortensen was empty but Richard Milne didn't bust, the Scotsman just got moved tables. One thing has however disappeared, which Milne confirmed not long ago. His beloved lucky charm, that he brought to every poker tournament, is nowhere to be found anymore and the unique piece may forever be lost.
