Di Benedetto Takes it on the Turn

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

With around 4,000 chips in the middle of the table, Raffaello di Benedetto bet 1,300 from the cutoff and his opponent Marcin Puczylowski raised to 4,300 from one seat over. Di Benedetto wasted little time before reraising to 11,300 and that did the trick to enforce a fold from his table neighbor.

Three Barrels from Koop

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

After a raise to 250 and a call, Niko Koop squeezed to 950 in the small blind. Only the initial raiser called and they headed to a flop of {8-Spades}{2-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}. A small continuation bet was made by Koop but his opponent called and did so again for 2,750 on the {K-Hearts} turn. Koop then quickly fired 4,500 on the [Ad[ river and his opponent folded eventually.

Naalden Down

Level 2 : 100/200, 25 ante

Bastian Hagenbeuk is among the early bigger stacks after turning a full house while fellow Dutchman Marc Naalden has taken the different route. Naalden checked the river of a board {5-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{10-Spades}{3-Spades} with about 12,000 chips in the pot. His opponent Morgan Wald then looked at the dealer, announced all in and then nodded again when the dealer made sure he heard it correctly.

Naalden quickly folded and lost more than one third of his stack already.

Up and Down for Goosens

Level 2 : 100/200, 25 ante

Guy Goosens has not been playing a lot of poker lately and just started again with the Unibet Open in his home country coming at a perfect time to do so. The Belgian bet the river of a {6-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} board for 2,000 and his opponent called eventually to see Goosens turn over {A-Hearts}{6-Hearts} for two pair. The opponent then flipped over his {10-Clubs}{7-Spades} for trips sevens and pointed at the board "flush" as reason for not having raised.

Goosens had been up early on and now lost some of the profit, the Belgian is still above starting stack, though.

Puczylowski Above Starting Stack

Level 2 : 100/200, 25 ante

After being involved in a bigger pot on level one, Marcin Puczylowski had been dropping down in chips and just now got them back. With the board reading {3-Spades}{A-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{9-Clubs}, the Pole fired 4,200 into a pot of 15,000 and Bjorn Geleyn called to see the {Q-Hearts} appear on the river.

Puczylowski basically moved all in for 10,300, though left himself 25 chips behind to protect his cards. Geleyn sighed loudly and then eventually let go with a stack of around 17,000 chips behind.
