Level 3 : 100/200, 25 ante

On a flop of {6-Spades}{J-Spades}{8-Spades} we saw Davy De Cooman check to his country man Wouter Schuurbiers in the cutoff. Schuurbiers bet out 1,500 and De Cooman check raised to 3,000. Schuurbiers made the call.

The {2-Diamonds} fell on the turn and De Cooman bet out a hefty 7,000. Schuurbiers again made the call.

The {K-Diamonds} completed the board and De Cooman bet out 11,200. Schuurbiers thought about it for some time before folding while saying "Only aces". De Cooman showed {10-Spades}{9-Spades} for the flopped flush and they were of to the next hand.

The next hand saw the player under the gun open for 600. De Cooman sat right next to him and three bet to 1,300. Action folded back to the player under the gun and he made the call. The initial raiser continued to check call 1,700 on {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} and 2,400 on the {5-Spades} turn.

The {3-Clubs} on the river made both players check and the player under the gun showed {A-Hearts}{K-Spades}. De Cooman tabled {J-Spades}{J-Hearts} and took it down.

Wrang Loses the Flip

Level 4 : 150/300, 50 ante
Jannick Wrang
Jannick Wrang

Jannick Wrang opened to 800 from middle position and his neighbor Chris Brink made it 1,600 from the hijack. Action folded to the big blind who made the call. Wrang tossed in a 5,000 chip and announced his raise was to 4,600 while the chip was still in mid air.

Brink wasn't in too much doubt as he shoved all in for 27,000 even straight away. The big blind folded and Wrang made the call after confirming how much it was.

Wrang: {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}
Brink: {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}

The {K-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{Q-Hearts} on the flop made for a big lead for Brink. After the {6-Clubs} on the turn the hand was about over, the {5-Diamonds} on the river was just there to make things official.

Van der Fluit Loses Lots

Level 4 : 150/300, 50 ante
Vincent van der Fluit
Vincent van der Fluit

Nenad Sremcevic opened under the gun to 900 and Vincent van der Fluit on the button three bet to 2,800. Both blinds folded, Sremcevic made the call.

Sremcevic check called 3,100 on {A-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} and check called another 7,000 on the {J-Diamonds} turn. The river came the {K-Clubs} and Sremcevic checked a third time. Van der Fluit bet out 12,500 and now the big show began.

Sremcevic thought for quite some time and started talking. "You got very lucky this time. Very lucky! You have ace of spades, queen of diamonds!"

Some more time passed and Sremcevic continued "Wou want me to call with a straight?"

Van der Fluit's face changed a bit as he looked kind of surprised. "A straight?" he asked with a somewhat sincere voice. "Eight nine?" said Van der Fluit. "Of course I have eight nine. You got very lucky and you know it!" said Sremcevic.

Sremcevic was thinking about folding, but changed his mind. "Why are you so scared? Maybe you have two pair!" said Sremcevic as he picked up some chips to call. "I would check two pair, come one" laughed Van der Fluit.

"You look scared why would you be scared with the nuts?" asked Sremcevic. "It's a big pot, of course I'm nervous" answered Van der Fluit.

Sremcevic eventually tossed in the chips to call anyway. "Ok, I was value betting" said Van der Fluit tabling {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs} in the proces. That was no good as Sremcevic indeed showed {8-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} for the turned straight and he received the big pot.

Klausen Catches Lucky River

Level 5 : 200/400, 75 ante
Jonas Klausen
Jonas Klausen

We're not entirely sure how the two of them got into the situation they were in, but we are sure about the action from the turn on.

With {10-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{9-Hearts} on the board it was Jonas Klausen who bet out 8,000 from the big blind. His opponent, the player under the gun plus one, made the call after some thinking.

The {6-Clubs} on the river made Klausen shove all in for 15,150 total. His opponent thought for quite some time before eventually tossing in a single 5,000 chip to call.

You could almost see a small blush on Klausen's face as he tabled {8-Hearts}{5-Clubs} for the rivered straight. Klausen's opponent mucked.
