Tiny Jam Wins Big Pot

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante

Stefan Rundstrom opened to 1,200 from the lojack and got called by Martin von Zweigbergk from the hijack. Didier Pirard three-bet to 4,500 from the cutoff. Rundstrom folded and von Zweigbergk called.

Pirard continued for 5,000 on the {a-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{6-Spades} flop and von Zweigbergk check-called. The Festival Series founder von Zweigbergk then jammed for 3,200 on the {4-Clubs} turn. Rundstrom sighed before he folded despite there being a chunk of chips in the pot.

As the dealer began awarding the pot to von Zweigbergk he showed the table he had two pair with {a-Clubs}{4-Clubs}. Pirard said he had jacks but never showed.

Ed Mondo: {10-Clubs}{8-Spades}
Mario Eder: {j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}

Mondo began to stand up with Eder flopping the nuts and officially left the tournament area after the {6-Hearts} turn and {4-Diamonds} river completed the board.

"Franke" Actually Folding

Level 4 : 100/300, 300 ante
Martin "Franke" von Zweigbergk
Martin "Franke" von Zweigbergk

The Festival Series founder Martin "Franke" von Zweigbergk is often known to enter an event and quickly go all-in. "Franke" just entered the Main Event and PokerNews witnessed him folding an entire orbit except defending his big blind to the surprise of the table.

Top Pair for Baluska

Level 4 : 100/300, 300 ante

Robert Baluska checked with 10,000 in the pot on the {6-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{a-Hearts} on the board. Maksym Ronshyn bet 8,000 and Baluska went into the tank for a couple of minutes before he found a call.

Ronshyn turned over {8-Clubs}{3-Spades} but this wasn't good enough to win the hand as Baluska rivered top pair with {a-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}.
