We just witnessed Rikard Aberg shove all in from the cutoff. He didn't get called, but with just 5,300 remaining something had to have happened before that.
Aberg told us that he had lost a big coin flip. After a late position raise Aberg had shoved. The initial raiser had called with sevens and had won from Aberg's . The flop gave Aberg some hope of counterfeiting his opponent, but no such luck on the turn or river.
A late position player opened and Reino Rasmussen made the call from the small blind. Bogdan Petrascu over called from the big blind and the three of them saw a flop: .
Rasmussen checked and Petrascu lead out for 3,700. The initial raiser folded, Rasmussen made the call.
On the turn Rasmussen check called another 11,500 and the fell on the river. Rasmussen checked a third time, but folded to the 16,000 bet his neighbor made.
But most of the noise and commotion is coming from the "Flips Championship", a unique omaha event where not a whole lot of skill is involved. Everybody is all in every hand, and so its pure luck who wins it. The tournament is held every Unibet Open and creates a lot of excitement. The players are in the money in that tournament right now, so it will soon all be over.
A lot less commotion is coming from the poker tables at the moment, play has calmed down a little bit it appears.
Paulo Rodrigues just doubled up through Martin Hansen. Hansen and Rodrigues got it in with jacks (Rodrigues) versus nines (Hansen). The on the board improved no one, and Rodrigues got his 16,000 stack back times two.
