Willkomm and Bisgard Split an Elimination

Level 6 : 250/500, 75 ante

The player in the under-the-gun position raised to 800, Peter Willkom, in the hijack, called. Thorben Vellrath, in the cutoff, shoved for about 13,000. Anders Bisgard, on the button, also shoved for 10,425. The initial raiser folded but Willkom decided to call after thinking for a bit and having them both covered.

Peter Willkom: {A-Hearts}{j-Hearts}
Anders Bisgard: {A-Spades}{J-Diamonds}
Thorben Vellrath: {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades}

They all wished each other good luck. The board ran out {Q-Clubs}{A-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds}{9-Spades} - Vellrath was eliminated as both Willkom and Bisgard had hit their full houses. The dealer counted out the stacks of Bisgard and Vellrath. Willkom took the side-pot and they both split the main pot.

Rcheulishvili Takes From Sytau

Level 6 : 250/500, 75 ante

The board read {6-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{J-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{6-Spades} and Pavel Sytau had bet 3,300 from the big blind. The player up for a decision was Levan Rcheulishvili, sitting on the button. After thinking for a while he decided to call. Sytau showed {10-Clubs}{9-Spades} for the missed straight draw so he played the pair of sixes on the board. Rcheulishvili, however, had {k-Diamonds}{J-Clubs} for two pair, jacks and sixes, and the pot.

Willkom Welcomes Some More Chips

Level 6 : 250/500, 75 ante

Anders Bisgard raised to 1,200 from early position and was called by Francois Mittertreiner, in the hijack, and Peter Willkom, in the big blind.

The flop came {8-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}, Willkom bet 2,000 and both Bisgard and Mittertreiner called.

The turn brought them the {3-Hearts}, the dealer had to point out it was Willkom's turn. He seemed a bit confused by this but then he bet 1,000. Bisgard raised to 5,000, Mittertreiner quickly folded and Willkom snap-called.

The {8-Hearts} on the river completed the board. The dealer looked at Willkom to point out it was his turn, he wanted to show but then the dealer said he needed to either check or bet. Willkom bet 5,000 and Bisgard called. Willkom hesitated for a bit but Bisgard wasn't going to show his cards first so Willkom showed {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts} for a full house, tens over eights. Bisgard mucked. The rest of the table looked on, somewhat amazed.
