Kozlov and Pisarenko Both Have Big Ones

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

Martin Kozlov was in the big blind and facing off with Maksim Pisarenko on a board of {9-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}, with both putting in what looked to be 3,000, though we didn't see who was the aggressor. The river was the {5-Hearts} and Kozlov fired in 10,000. Pisarenko seemed less than pleased but eventually splashed in a call.

Kozlov showed {a-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{6-Clubs} for the nut flush. Pisarenko showed he'd had two pair and blockers, not to mention a diamond flush draw to the nuts: {a-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{9-Hearts}.

Two of the Best

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante
Viktor Blom
Viktor Blom

Viktor Blom, one of the most legendary online poker players in history for his nosebleed exploits in no-limit and PLO games, has taken a seat. Blom took a shot in the Main Event but couldn't get anything going yesterday. However, he's this year's second-biggest online cash winner, so it's doubtful he's hurting at all after that loss.

Another player who just grabbed a seat is Jens Lakemeier. Playing as "Fresh_oO_D" on PokerStars, Lakemeier is a mixed game legend and showed off his skills in the $2,500 Big Bet event at the WSOP, winning his first bracelet and $112,232.

Quevedo Folds a Big Set

Level 1 : 100/200, 0 ante

Leo Nordin opened for 700 in the cutoff and got three-bet to 2,000 by Vivian Saliba on his left. Both blinds came along and made it four to {3-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}, which got checked through. The {k-Spades} hit and Kristoffer Edberg bet 6,000. Federico Quevedo called, and the late position players mucked. On the {a-Hearts} river, Quevedo studied his opponent intently as he bet 14,000, but he quickly conceded the pot, flashing {k-}{k-}{7-}{4-}.

Kozlov Takes a Seat

Level 1 : 100/200, 0 ante

Martin Kozlov has joined the tournament. The Aussie has been on quite a tear in the tournament world since last year with two monster cashes. At the 2016 WSOP, he came first in the $10K Six-Max for $665,000. Earlier this month, he won the $5,250 SHRPO Championship in Florida for another $754,000.

Kozlov has showed off his PLO chops too, getting ninth in the $25K PLO High Roller at this year's WSOP. Kozlov previously told PokerNews that he's mostly a PLO cash player, so we'll see how his game translates to the tournament arena here in Barcelona.

Saliba Pays Edberg

Level 1 : 100/200, 0 ante

With a completed board of {4-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{10-Spades}{k-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} on the felt, Vivian Saliba checked from the big blind and Kristoffer Edberg bet 6,500. Saliba tanked down under the dealer was counting down her last five seconds, then she put in calling chips. Edberg rolled over {k-}{q-}{q-}{j-} for the nut straight and took the pot.
