Valkenburg Joins the Rail

Level 4 : 200/400, 75 ante

David Ozman raised to 1,200 and was called by Christer Jansson before Paul Valkenburg moved all in for his last 6,425 chips. Both Ozman and Jansson called to check the {Q-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} flop before Ozman check-raised the {10-Spades} on the turn. Jansson called the shove and they turned them over:

Ozman: {A-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}
Jansson: {K-Hearts}{K-Spades}
Valkenburg: {A-Hearts}{10-Clubs}

Jansson was having the best of it and doubled up for more than 34,000 once the {9-Clubs} river completed the board. One hand later, Ozman was involved in yet another hand and chopped with {5-Clubs}{7-Spades} versus {A-Diamonds}{4-Spades} after both checked the {4-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} board. "Please get me a new dealer!" the Swede joked.

Some Trouble in Sight

Level 4 : 200/400, 75 ante

While some of the notables are thriving, others are less fortunate. Charlotte van Brabander and Rasmus Agerskov are short-stacked, Philippe Ktorza even out already.

Agerskov just bet 3,025 on the {K-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} flop with very few chips behind and his opponent mucked the {4-Spades}. Agerskov grinned and then flashed the {10-Clubs} before ultimately also revealing the {Q-Clubs} too while collecting the pot.

Le Floch and Terzian Doing Fine

Level 4 : 200/400, 75 ante

We only just now spotted Dominique Terzian over on table 8 with 45,000 in chips and one table further is Nicolas le Floch. The Frenchman started just before the end of level two and has more than doubled up the initial stack already. Le Floch just now raised from the button but then let go when a short stack jammed out of the big blind.

Half an Four of Late Registration Remains

Level 4 : 200/400, 75 ante

There will be another short break after the end of level four and half an hour of the current level as well as the break remains in order to join the competition. A total of 235 participants have already done so and that number may still increase. Either way it's already a very decent field and worthy of the fun ambiance of the event.

Bujok Doubles

Level 4 : 200/400, 75 ante

Szymon Bujok opened three hands in a row and was met with a three-bet to 2,200 by the player next to him to call and see a heads-up flop of {K-}{6-}{3-} rainbow. The Pole check-called 3,500 and did so again for 5,100 on the {9-Diamonds} turn that gave a flush draw. On the {8-} river, Bujok tank-called the shove of his opponent and the other player mucked.

Bujok insisted to see the cards and the dealer revealed the {7-}{3-} ... .

Shortly after on the very same table, Ronald Steinmetz was all in for his last 10,150 on a flop of {4-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{Q-Diamonds} and David Ozman looked him up with the {A-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}. Steinmetz got there with the {9-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} as the {6-Diamonds} fell on the turn, the {J-Clubs} river bricked.

Moments of Madness

Level 4 : 200/400, 75 ante
Micke Norinder
Micke Norinder

Another six players busted in quick succession and among them were Andreas Leledakis and Micke Norinder. The exit of the Greek is unknown, but Norinder got his last 14,500 chips and change in with the {A-Spades}{Q-Clubs} only to see his opponent snap him off with the {A-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}.

It was all over after the {3-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{5-Spades} turn and the meaningless {J-Diamonds} river completed the board. "Of course", the Swede had laughed as soon as he spotted the American Airlines on the other side of the table.

Level Four without Chutrov

Level 4 : 200/400, 75 ante

The 2015 Unibet Open champion Daniel Chutrov tried to bluff with {K-}{Q-} on a jack-high board and was looked up by Quentin Laugt with pocket nines for second best pair to the community cards. Laugt is up to around 50,000 and the Bulgarian out of the tournament area already.

"What a stupid way to go out"

Level 4 : 200/400, 75 ante

It all escalated on the {5-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} turn and [Removed:247] didn't understand at all how his opponent Gregory Hawes could call his all in with {A-Spades}{K-Hearts}. The Brit had completely misread his hand and was just able to say "what a stupid way to go out" before grabbing his belongings and heading out of the door.

[Removed:250] had obviously flopped it with the {A-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} and enjoys a decent start to Day 1b. Omar Lakhdari didn't waste much time either. The hyper-aggressive Algerian / French is already out as well.

Simpson Thriving Early

Level 3 : 150/300, 50 ante
Ian Simpson
Ian Simpson

Ian Simpson lost a few chips when he got runner runner flushed and then opened to 750 with the {8-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}. Lucas Monnier three-bet to 1,850 from one seat over and was called to see a flop of {5-}{7-}{Q-} with one diamond. The Brit check-called a bet worth 1,900 and then check-raised the {6-} turn from 4,000 to 11,000.

Monnier called and then called the shove on the {3-} river with {A-}{4-} only to see the bad news.
