Wittikko Feeling Flush

Level 5 : 300/600, 100 ante

On a {3-Spades}{7-Hearts}{3-Hearts} flop, Sweden's Tobias Olsson lead out with a bet of 3,000 chips from his seat under the gun. His only opponent in the hand was Daniel Wittikko who was sat at the opposite side of the table in the hijack seat. Wittikko raised to 7,500 and Olsson called.

Olsson then checked the {J-Hearts} turn, but called when Wittikko 11,000. The {10-Diamonds} peeled off on the river and Olsson checked for a second time. Wittikko bet 11,000 again and Olsson called.

Wittikko tuned the {K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts} onto their backs to reveal a flush and it was enough to win the pot because Olsson mucked and handed over a significant percentage of his stack to his opponent.

Garnier Busts Gray

Level 5 : 300/600, 100 ante

A short-stacked James Gray found himself all-in with {K-Hearts}{Q-Spades} and up against the dominating {A-Spades}{Q-Diamonds} of Philippe Garnier. Gray took the lead on the {K-Spades}{9-Hearts}{J-Spades} flop, but fell way behind on the {10-Diamonds} turn that gifted Garnier a straight. The river had to be an ace an only an ace for Gray to chop the pot and stay in the tournament but alas it was the {6-Clubs} and his tournament is now over.

Campbell Sends Kamil Out to Pasture

Level 4 : 200/400, 75 ante

Remember earlier in the day when Kevin Campbell won a large pot in a cooler of a hand involving Kamil Dubik? Well, Campbell has just helped himself to the rest of Dubik's chips.

Dubik was all-in for 5,600 chips and Campbell re-shoved to isolate him. It worked because the other active players folded and Campbell's {A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds} went into battle versus Dubik's {7-Clubs}{6-Clubs}. It was a war that Campbell won as the five community cards fell {2-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{9-Spades}{10-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} to send Dubik into the cold Glasgow air and kept Campbell in touch with the leaders.

Huge Pots Sends Smith Soaring

Level 4 : 200/400, 75 ante

The action folded around to Martin Smith in the small blind and he raised to 1,000. Smith faced some resistance from Jonathan Gray who three-bet to 2,600 from the big blind. Smith responded by four-betting to 6,800 and the rest of the table were preparing for a five-bet all-in, except it didn't come because Gray called.

Smith then led for 5,300 chips on the {K-Clubs}{7-Spades}{A-Hearts} flop and Gray called. The {J-Clubs} turn saw Smith check and Gray check behind. The river card was the {9-Spades} and now Smith pushed all-in for 13,875 which sent Gray deep into the tank. After more than two minutes, Gray called but then mucked when Smith turned over {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds} for two pair.

Koops Flops Set to Bust Jansen

Level 4 : 200/400, 75 ante
Alexander Koops
Alexander Koops

From under the gun, Alexander Koops raised to 900 and then called when Rick Jansen three-bet to 2,000 from his seat in the hijack. The heads-up duo watched on as the dealer spread the {6-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{10-Clubs} flop, a flop that Koops led for 1,700 on. Jansen raised to 3,600 and Koops moved all-in, covering Jansen by around 2:1.

Jansen went deep into the tank before emerging with a call, turning over {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts} as he did so. Unfortunately for Jansen, Koops was sat there with {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} and Jansen was drawing to only two outs. The {6-Diamonds} was not one of Jansen's outs and neither was the {5-Hearts} river, so Jansen bust and Koops climbed up the counts.

Milne Catches a Lucky River

Level 4 : 200/400, 75 ante

Richard Milne's stack had dwindled to around 21,000 the last time we checked on him, but he's now back over the starting stack after catching a lucky break on the river.

Milne raise to 1,100 from the cutoff and was called by Szymon Bujok (button) and Jussi Niemela (big blind). Niemela checked the arrival of the {Q-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} flop, Milne fired a bet of 1,600 and only Niemela called. Niemela checked the {5-Hearts} turn and Milne checked behind.

Under the watchful gaze of Milne, Niemela then checked the {2-Spades} river, opening the door for a Milne bet. Milne did bet, a total of 2,500 and Niemela called within a couple of seconds. He'll perhaps wish that he didn't because Milne turned over {2-Clubs}{2-Hearts} for a set of deuces.

"Nice," said Niemela sarcastically before tapping the table and watching as the dealer pushed the pot to Milne.

Chris Day Puts a Bad Beat on Peter Harkes

Level 4 : 200/400, 75 ante

Peter Harkes won the 2011 Unibet Open Riga Main Event but he won't be adding the 2015 Glasgow title to his poker CV as he's been sent to the rail in spectacular fashion by Chris Day.

Day opened from the cutoff, the button called and Harkes squeezed from the big blind. Only Day called so it was heads-up to the {6-Spades}{9-Spades}{J-} flop. Harkes led for 2,100, Day raised to 5,200 and Harkes called.

Harkes then opted to check-call a 6,300 bet from Day on the {5-Spades} turn. Harkes then checked when the {7-Spades} completed the board. Day bet 15,000 — enough to set Harkes all-in — and Harkes looked him up, only to be shown {8-Spades}{7-} for a straight flush. Harkes flashed the {A-Spades} and was left with a nano-stack.

Harkes bad luck continued as he got the last of his chips into the middle with {A-}{8-} and lost to {Q-}{10-}.
