Henrik Fjelstad: 4♦4♠ All in
Felix Seelentag: Q♥Q♣

Fjelstad had Seelentag dominated with a set of fours versus his opponent's overpair queens, but the Q♠ hit on the turn in brutal fashion, and there was no miracle one-outer on the K♠ river.

Horst Gets Paid with Full House and Spits Rhymes

Level 12 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Duncan Horst has proven to be quite the presence at the tables, breaking out into spontaneous song on numerous occasions, treating the room to renditions of Hotel California and Baby One More Time, amongst others.

In this hand, a pot of around 120,000 had developed by the river on a board of K♥4♦4♠9♠Q♥, in a hand between Horst and Xoan Miguez.

Horst was all-in for around 141,000 and Miguez was in the tank, with Horst chattering away. Miguez made the call after a fair bit of thought, and saw his A♠Q♠ was almost drawing dead from the flop against Horst's K♦K♠ for the flopped full house.

Horst proceeded to start rapping, dropping at least three freestyle verses, all with a poker theme, as he celebrated a big double-up, with the entire room entranced and bemused by the American's antics.

Level 12 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Igor Pihela opened to 10,000 from the button, and was met with a three-bet to 30,000 from Nicklas Nordblom in the big blind.

Pihela made the call to see the Q♣10♠2♦ flop, which was checked to the 5♦ turn.

Nordblom led out with a bet of 30,000, and Pihela called.

The J♣ river completed the board, and Nordblom check-called a bet of 22,000 from Pihela.

Pihela tabled 10♦10♥ for a set of tens, and Nordblom tapped the table and mucked.
