Christian Zetzsche

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Jussi Nevanlinna, who finished second in this very tournament in 2011 and fifth last year, has taken a big step towards another final table appearance in Amsterdam.

Georgios Zisimopoulos raised to 21,000 from under the gun and the Finn three-bet to 66,000 from the hijack. Zisimopoulos asked for his stack size and then jammed to put Nevanlinna at risk. The Finn called for 326,000 and had his opponent dominated.

Nevanlinna:
Zisimopoulos:

The board ran out and the pair of jacks scooped a big pot, putting a big dent into the stack of the Greek.

Christian Zetzsche

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Przemyslaw Piotrowski had previously tripled up for his last big blind and then called all in out of the big blind for what looked like 35,000. [Removed:172] had raised to 21,000 and Donald Rae three-bet to 50,000 from the button. Kramer folded and they flipped over the cards:

Piotrowski:
Rae:

The Pole picked up a gutshot on the flop , but both the turn and river blanked to send him to the rail in 19th place.

The dealer burned and turned the as final community card and Tjauw Foe moved all in. Brummelhuis tanked for a long time and eventually folded to get shown for a bluff!!!

Dowling Doubles Through Piotrowski

Christian Zetzsche

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Chris Dowling moved all in for 128,000 from early position and the action folded to Przemyslaw Piotrowski on the button, who asked for a count. He then moved all in for slightly more and the players in the blinds folded.

Dowling:
Piotrowski:

The flop gave the Irish the lead and he made two pair with the turn. Only the four tens and hearts would change the outcome of the hand, yet it was the river that left Piotrowski very short.
