Martinsson Rising on the Feature

Level 6 : 400/800, 100 ante

The elimination of Auke Attema was just shown on the feature table. The Dutchman had gotten his short stack in with the {3-Spades}{3-Hearts} and found himself drawing to two outs only. Tomas Martinsson held the {9-Spades}{9-Clubs} and picked up an additional straight draw after the flop {8-Clubs}{10-Spades}{J-Spades} also.

Neither the {5-Clubs} turn nor the {A-Clubs} river changed anything and that was it for Attema while Martinsson moved into the top five overall.

Unlucky Run of Cards for Lybaert

Level 6 : 400/800, 100 ante

Gertjan Kars opened to 1,600 and the player from one seat over called, Bart Lybaert defended his big blind with the {8-}{4-}. On the flop {K-Hearts}{J-}{4-Hearts} all three players checked and Lybaert then check-raised the {4-} turn from 2,000 to 6,200. Only Kars called and the {8-Hearts} river completed a possible flush.

Lybaert shoved for 15,000 effectively to put Kars at risk and his opponent called with pocket jacks to double up.

Kadirbaks Busts to Lobus

Level 6 : 400/800, 100 ante
Firoz Kadirbaks
Firoz Kadirbaks

According to Bart Lybaert, Firoz Kadirbaks had defended his big blind against the raise of Artem Lobus and then check-raised all in for his last 13,000 chip on a flop of {J-}{8-}{7-}. Lobus snap-called with pocket kings and Kadirbaks was at risk with {A-}{10-} for a gutshot and one over card.

Both turn and river were blanks and that sent the Dutchman to the rail.

The De Meulders Depart

Level 6 : 400/800, 100 ante
Matthias de Meulder
Matthias de Meulder

Matthias de Meulder got his last 8,000 chips in preflop with {A-}{9-} from the cutoff and Daniel Ulvrell called from one seat over with {A-}{Q-} to scoop the pot. Just one minute later, his brother Christophe also headed to the rail and joked "wait, you too? great timing," and off they went.

Christophe busted in a three-way pot for his last 6,700 preflop and {A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} against two opponents with {A-}{Q-} and pocket kings. The latter won it all.

Mertens Sucks Out on Kahan

Level 6 : 400/800, 100 ante

"I can't remember to have sucked out one time," Bert Geens joked after all was done and dusted. David Kahan had raised and Christophe Mertens shoved for 15,200 from one seat over to get called by Kahan with the {A-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}.

Mertens was at risk with the {A-Spades}{8-Spades} and indeed got there on the board {K-Spades}{4-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} to double up back to starting stack.

Koop vs Eikeland

Level 6 : 400/800, 100 ante

Aage Eikeland opened to 1,600 from the button and Niko Koop three-bet to 4,500 from one seat over in the small blind. The player in the big blind tanked for a while and Eikeland eyed the stack of his opponent for a good minute before making the call.

The flop came {2-Spades}{5-Hearts}{4-Spades} and Koop immediately fired a continuation bet worth 4,600, resulting in the fold from Eikeland. The German with Russian passport has recovered some earlier losses and holds around 38,000 chips, his opponent from Norway has about half of that remaining.

Geens Takes from Kahan; Kukkasjarvi Eliminated

Level 6 : 400/800, 100 ante

David Kahan defended his small blind against the raise of Bert Geens only a few minutes before the end of the level and then check-called the flop {10-Clubs}{A-Hearts}{3-Clubs} for 2,000. Kahan also checked the {6-Spades} on the turn and then folded to a second barrel by Geens.

At the same time, Katja Kukkasjarvi walked past the table and over to the Finnish blogger to tell him about her exit. From what has been gathered, she called all in for around 15,000 chips with two pair on the river. Her opponent had pushed and then showed a straight after the call of Kukkasjarvi.
