Krijn Doubles Janssens

Level 15 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

We only got there on the river, but eventual winner Bob Janssens was kind enough to fill us in on the details of the hand after he was done stacking.

Krijn opened under the gun and a player in middle position called. Janssens over called from the big blind.

Janssens check-called a bet on {9-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{7-Hearts} as the player in middle position folded, check-called another bet on the {J-Clubs} turn and check-called all in for 69,500 on the {2-Diamonds} river.

Janssens showed {A-Clubs}{7-Clubs} for the nuts and Krijn mucked.

Salter Hits the Rail

Level 15 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

Louis Salter got it in with {K-Clubs}{J-Clubs} up against the {7-Spades}{7-Clubs} of Agshin Ahmadli. The board ran out {A-Spades}{5-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{8-Spades}{7-Hearts} and Salter departed, leaving behind his €1,000 bounty slip. Salter can either hop into the Omaha event currently ongoing, or rail his older brother who's playing the final table of the €1,500 event.

Aces Versus Kings

Level 14 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

From middle position, [Removed:155] opened for 4,500. Small blind Kimmo Kurko 3-bet to 15,000 and the big blind tossed his cards in the muck instantly. Brand elected to 4-bet to 23,500 and called Kurko's shove that followed.

[Removed:155]: {A-Hearts}{A-Spades}
Kimmo Kurko: {K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}

The board ran out {J-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} and Kurko uttered some words in Finnish to his (former) neighbor before leaving the tournament area.

Lehto Eliminated, Sah Kwan Leads Massively

Level 14 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

We missed the preflop action and got there on a flop of {7-Clubs}{J-Spades}{3-Diamonds} as big blind Spel Sah Hwan was leading out for 4,800. The hijack folded and Kai Lehto shoved all in. Sah Hwan called almost instantly.

Spel Sah Hwan: {7-Spades}{7-Hearts}
Kai Lehto: {A-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}

Lehto was drawing slim and got up from the table after the {6-Clubs} hit the turn. The {4-Diamonds} on the river was of no importance anymore, Lehto departed.

Tonny Krijn
Tonny Krijn

Dennis Lavrijsen opened under the gun for 3,500 and Tonny Krijn, from the hijack, 3-bet to 9,000. Over on the button, 2016 MCOP Main Event winner Hakim Zoufri shoved for 34,000 putting his €1,000 bounty slip in first. The blinds and Lavrijsen folded, Krijn called.

Tonny Krijn: {A-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}
Hakim Zoufri: {A-Spades}{K-Clubs}

The board ran out {4-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{Q-Spades} and Krijn busted Zoufri.

"Tony, Tonny, Tonny!" Zoufri said with a big smile as he walked away.

Krijn said he was committed, which was followed by some friendly banter at the table. Krijn, however, was the one stacking.

Van Eck Ousted

Level 13 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

We missed it, but Tonny van Eck has been eliminated from the Progressive Bounty tournament. Van Eck, a regular at the Master Classics of Poker and winner of an earlier event this series, got it in with {A-}{Q-} against {A-}{A-}. Needless to say, he didn't improve.

Down to 24 players now, down to 3 tables.

Henok Tekle Mariam Eliminated

Level 13 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

As we arrived, short stack Henok Tekle Mariam already had all of his 19,800 chips over the line. Spel Sah Hwan (cutoff) and Doug Roberts (button) had both already called.

The side pot remained empty as both players checked the flop of {5-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{6-Spades}. The {Q-Clubs} on the turn saw Sah Hwan bet 32,500 and Roberts folded.

Spel Sah Hwan: {J-Clubs}{J-Spades}
Henok Tekle Mariam: {A-Clubs}{5-Clubs}

No five or ace on the river as instead the {3-Clubs} hit, and Tekle Mariam exited the tournament area.
