Fast Start from Vos

There was a slight hold up while Mark Vos, with assistance from a member of staff, reconstructed his monster stack, but eventually the starting whistle sounded.

In fact, it was Vos who kicked off the action, raising to 3,400 from UTG before he'd even finished stacking his chips. With the rest of the players folding, Vos showed {A-Clubs}{J-Clubs}, perhaps eager to let the table know that he wasn't messing around.

On the very next hand, Nik Lackovic made it 3,400 from late(ish) position, but folded to a reraise to 14,800 from Runnar Lindepuu in the small blind.

Buhmann Takes One Down

An interesting hand took place on table three with Joseph Buhmann leading out for 6,000 on a {6-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{Q-Hearts} flop, only to be check-raised to 15,400 by Nicholas van der Marel in the big blind. Buhmann, as calculated as ever, deliberated carefully over his next move before making the call.

With both players checking the {A-Spades} turn, van der Marel checked the {J-Diamonds} river allowing Buhmann to bet out 17,000. Without too much hesitation, van der Marel matched the bet, but soon mucked his cards upon being shown {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}.

Otto Göschl Doubles Up

Mikael Johansson raised to 4,200, and then called when Otto Göschl shoved for 24,000 from the big blind. On their backs.

Johansson: {A-Clubs} {Q-Hearts}
Göschl: {A-Hearts} {K-Hearts}

Board: a surprise-free {7-Clubs} {3-Clubs} {J-Spades} {10-Hearts} {J-Diamonds} to put Göschl up to almost 50,000.

Fortey Shows Strength

Christian Fischbacher raised under the gun and it folded around to Colin Fortey in the big blind, who pushed all in. A call later, and it was a showdown for Fortey's tournament life.

Fischbacher: {A-Hearts} {J-Diamonds}
Fortey: {A-Spades} {K-Clubs}

Board: {4-Clubs} {5-Clubs} {6-Clubs} {10-Hearts} {3-Hearts}

With a massive sigh of relief, Fortey doubles up to around 40,000.
