Los Doubles Through Naalden

It folded around to Marc Naalden in the small blind, and he raised to 17,000. Fedor Los checked his cards, and then announced all in. A moment's thought for Naalden, and then a call.

Naalden: {A-Spades}

Los:

"Aiii..."

Board: {6-Clubs}

Los made the suckout on the river, and doubles up to 250,000. Naalden meanwhile drops to 150,000.

With Fedor Los making a rare limp on the button, Salvatore Cundari added limper's tax by betting out 30,000 from the big blind. After a brief pause, Los made the call.

A {10-Hearts}

flop had the audience salivating for action, but both players checked to the {3-Spades}

turn where Cundari check-folded to a 40,000 bet from Los.

Cundari passed and Los showed the {9-Spades}

.

Seemingly demoralized and seeing little in the way of hands, a short-stacked Farhad Kia eventually decided to make his move by pushing for 21,000 total from UTG+1.

Liking his odds, Joseph Buhmann made the call from the big blind.

Buhmnann = {8-Diamonds}

Kia =

Flop =

Turn =

Wait for it...

River = {8-Clubs}

Kia departs in ninth, €4,820 to the good and still wearing a sporting smile.

Hot Mark-On-Marc Action

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Mark Vos raised to 18,000 under the gun, only for Marc Naalden to push all in from the cutoff. Vos eyed up his stack, making the kind of face a plumber makes when assessing the damage to one's pipes and mentally racking up the damage to one's wallet.

The ring of railers around the final table sensed action, and stepped up on to platform, closing in on the table. However, they were to be disappointed, as Vos passed and Naalden took the pot down.

Jan Hlobil Eliminated in Eighth Place (€6,360)

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Jan Hlobil had shoved a few hands earlier from the cutoff and received no callers, but this time he shoved from under the gun and it was to be his end.

It folded around to Runnar Lindepuu in the small blind who asked how much it was -- just over 70,000. He reraised all in, Joey Buhmann quickly got out of the way, and they were on their backs as the swarm of railers closed in on the action.

Lindepuu: {8-Spades}
