Fjaestad Doubles

Level 10 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

It was a coin flip for Philip Fjaestad, but the circumstances of the double up for the Swede made it somewhat of a roller coaster. Fjaestad was all in for 53,200 with the {7-Hearts}{7-Spades} and played against the ace-king of an opponent to fall behind on the {K-Spades}{5-Spades}{6-Diamonds} flop.

The {8-Diamonds} on the turn was the ultimate sweat and Fjaestad had reason to celebrate once the dealer had burned and turned the {7-Clubs} on the river.

That's a lot of Chips

Level 10 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Over on table two, almost secluded from the rest of the tournament next to the feature table, are two tables and one of them includes a lot of chips with plenty of big stacks. One of them was Ben Soussan, but the Frenchman has joined the rail very recently after being a big stack for most of the day.

Montury Joins the Rail

Level 10 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Jean Montury
Jean Montury

Jean Montury had been all the way down to 4,300 chips earlier on before grinding it back up to more than starting stack. The EPT Malta champion from earlier this year then three-bet shoved for around 30,000 into an open from Peter La Terra and the Swede snap-called him with the {J-Spades}{J-Diamonds}.

Montury held {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds} but failed to improve on a board of {10-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{6-Spades}{2-Spades}.

Also eliminated recently: Szymon Bujok and Mikkel Lorentzen.

A Chip Leader out of the blue

Level 10 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Walking past table three, Michael Lancri emerged with a massive stack of what looked like 350,000 and we had a quick chat with the Frenchman about what happened. After getting moved to the very same table, he knocked out two players within an orbit to claim a massive stack.

The very first hand saw him pick up pocket aces on the button and he min-clicked from 3,500 to 7,000, receiving two callers. On a {Q-}{9-}{7-} rainbow flop he continued for 12,000 and was called by one opponent before shoving the {10-Diamonds} turn into a bet of 25,000 by his opponent. The latter called for his last 40,000 behind with {Q-}{K-} and the river bricked.

Fast forward one orbit and he picked up {A-}{J-} and flopped two pair. An opponent called his min-raise from 7,000 to 14,000 and they got it in after a brick on the turn, the other player had flopped the worse two pair with {A-Hearts}{10-Hearts}. That's how you win at poker, run good!

Ozman Flying under the Radar

Level 9 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

After a flop of {7-Hearts}{8-Spades}{Q-Spades}, Louis Linard and David Ozman went at it after the Swede had been swept under the radar in the last few hours. Ozman was all in for his last 48,300 with the {A-Spades}{10-Spades} for the nut flush draw while Linard held {K-Spades}{7-Spades} for bottom pair and the worse flush draw.

The {Q-Diamonds} turn changed nothing, however the {6-Spades} fell on the river to give the Swede an urgently needed double up. Linard banged his hands on the table and stood up to get some fresh air.

No Help for Lopez

Level 10 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

In a battle of the short stacks, Jussi Heikkels had raised from the cutoff and was called by Armand Lopez in the small blind. They got it in after a flop of {Q-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{7-Spades} and Lopez held the {8-Spades}{10-Hearts} for a straight draw while Heikkels had flopped top two with {Q-Diamonds}{9-Spades}.

Both the {K-Spades} turn and the {8-Hearts} river bricked, Lopez was gone.

Grind Over

Level 9 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Nicolas le Floch didn't win many hands after a decent start anymore and dwindled between 20,000 and 30,000 the last few levels. The Frenchman then shoved his last 8,100 with {J-}{10-} and the player in the big blind made a full house with {A-}{3-}.

For the exit of Florian Ravier, you will have to watch the live stream.

Langfeldt in Charge

Level 9 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Nicolay Langfeldt has taken over the role of the dominating chip leader from [Removed:247]. Since the Frenchman departed, the Norwegian started grabbing more and more chips, though the last count has been around 160,000. Now Langfeldt has far more than that and he picked up three streets value from a flopped set of jacks versus table neighbor Mikkel Lorentzen.

The latter bet 10,000 on the flop and then called a raise from 10,000 to 25,000 on the turn before conceding another 30,000 on the river to leave himself short on around 20 big blinds.
