Denmark's Morten Mortensen has been moved to the table where Scottish pro Paul McTaggart is seated and this could lead to some fireworks as the tournament progresses.
We were hoping for such fireworks when Mortensen opened to 1,400 from early position and McTaggart called on the button. A flop ended up being checked by both players and when Mortensen fired a 1,800 bt on the turn, McTaggart let his hand go.
A raise to 1,200 from Viktoras Bielinis from under the gun was called by Andrzej Kulka to his immediate left, then by Paul McTaggart in the small blind and Istvan Balaskovits in the big blind.
The blinds checked to Bielinis on the flop, Bielinis bet 2,600 and only McTaggart called. The turn brought the into play and McTaggart checked its arrival. Bielinis fired a second barrel, this one worth 4,000 and this was enough to force a fold from McTaggart.
Unibet France sponsored player Charles Bonnet was all-in for his last 11,000 chips, his tournament hopes pinned to the in front of him. Bonnet needed to avoid a king or queen because Ramunas Granskas called the all-in bet with .
Sadly for Bonnet, the door card of the flop was a king and the fact there were two hearts present meant he was now drawing to a single non-heart three. The was the turn and this was followed onto the river by the and with that Bonnet was gone.
Vera Kellcher tested the waters with a 2,200 bet on the flop but it wasn't enough to get Paul McTaggart to fold his hand. The turn was the and Kellcher got creative and initially checked then made it 8,000 to go when McTaggart bet out for 3,500. McTaggart called this bet and the dealer placed the onto the river.
Kellcher knocked on the table and checked. McTaggart checked behind and pulled in the pot courtesy of his being better than Kellcher's .
Over on Table 6, Viktoras Bielinis opened for 1,200 chips from under the gun and watched the action fold to Kamil Paluszkiewicz on the button. Paluszkiewicz three-bet to 3,800 and Bielinis made the call. The flop came down and Bielinis check-folded to a 7,000 continuation bet.
Table 13 saw Andrii Ratushnyi raise to 2,000 from early position and then call a re-raise to 4,400 from Henrik Hoglund on the button. Like the hand on Table 6 above, Ratushnyi check-folded when facing a 7,000 bet on the flop.
Finally, from the hijack, Matas Levanas opened with a raise to 1,700 and both Tom Blair (cutoff) and Diogo Borges (big blind) called.
Borges checked to Levanas on the flop, Levanas bet 2,700 and Blair instantly folded. Borges also folded, but it took him around 30-seconds to make that decision.
Levanas looks to be our chip leader at the moment and has 150,000 chips.
