Tim Baker

Level 4 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

Eelis Parssinen raised from the hijack and was three-bet by Liviu Ignat out of the small blind to 30,000. Parssinen four-bet to 89,500, and Ignat called.

All of the chips got into the middle on the J♥10♥7♠ flop, with Parssinen being the player at risk for his last 150,000 or so.

Eelis Parssinen: A♠A♣Q♣5♠ All in
Liviu Ignat: A♥10♦8♦7♥

Parssinen had aces and a gutshot straight draw against the bottom two pair and flush draw of Ignat.

The remainder of the board came 2♦3♣, which was clean for Ignat's two pair and Parssinen was sent to the exit.

Parssinen quickly went to the cashier's desk and has since reentered.

Level 4 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

Klemens Roiter raised to 7,500 rom the small blind and Youness Barakat three-bet to 22,500 out o the big blind. Roiter called and the dealer fanned out the 3♣7♣8♦ flop.

Both players checked to see the 4♥ arrive on the turn. Roiter led out for 23,500, and Barakat raised to 80,000. Roiter called.

When Roiter saw the 3♥ complete the board, he jammed, putting Barakat all in for his stack of around 180,000. Barakat seemed to dislike it, and after doing some inventory of his stack, he put in the call.

Roiter showed a rivered boat with A♣J♦8♣3♦, which won him the pot and busted Barakat, who revealed K♦6♦5♠4♠ for a straight.

Barakat has reentered and is sitting with a fresh starting stack of 250,000.

Level 3 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

From under the gun, Mads Amot raised to 7,000 and only Richard Gryko called from the hijack.

Amot started with a check on the 3♥Q♠9♥ flop, prompting Gryko to bet 10,000. Amot check-raised to 35,000, and after a brief pause, Gryko three-bet jammed for 149,000. Amot called, and the players went to a showdown.

Richard Gryko: A♥9♠6♠5♥ All in
Mads Amot: Q♣Q♦8♣7♥

Amot currently held the nuts with a set of queens, and Gryko needed to spike a heart to win the pot.

A A♦ hit the turn to give Gryko a few extra outs to a full house, although he managed to hit his flush when the J♥ completed the board, and he doubled up.

Richard Gryko	318,000 18,000	18,000
