Hansson Flops the Goods, Arwin Second Best

Level 12 : 1,600/3,200, 400 ante
Martin Arwin
Martin Arwin

From middle position, Martin Arwin raised to 8,000 and he got called by Theis Sorensen (hijack), Magnus Hansson (button) and Markus Heikkila (big blind).

The flop came {7-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{10-Hearts} and Heikkila checked. Arwin made a bet of 20,000 and Sorensen folded after some consideration. Hansson instantly shoved for 27,000 and Heikkila folded. Arwin called.

Martin Arwin: {A-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}
Magnus Hansson: {9-Spades}{J-Spades}

Hansson was guaranteed the double up as soon as the {5-Hearts} hit the turn. The {J-Hearts} completed the board and Arwin made parted ways with 27,000 in chips.

The Back to Back Dream is Dead

Level 12 : 1,600/3,200, 400 ante
Theis Vad Hennebjerre
Theis Vad Hennebjerre

Theis Vad Hennebjerre open raised his button and big blind Lasse Haagensen made the call.

The flop came {3-}{4-}{5-} rainbow and Haagensen checked. Vad Hennebjerre made a continuation bet of 9,000 and was soon facing a check-raise to 23,000. The defending Unibet Open Copenhagen champion called in position.

An {A-} fell on the turn and Haagensen bet 27,000. Vad Hennebjerre, who had started the hand with 150,000 or so, moved all in. Haagensen quickly called.

Theis Vad Hennebjerre: {2-}{2-}
Lasse Haagensen: {6-}{7-}

The river was of no importance anymore as Vad Hennebjerre was drawing dead. Haagensen now one of the biggest stacks in the tournament.

Tostesen Eliminated, Ball's Stack Surging

Level 13 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Jacob Tostesen
Jacob Tostesen

Aidan Ball was already sitting on a stack of well over 400,000 when he raised to 8,000 from early position.

Action folded to Jacob Tostesen on the button and he shoved all in for about 70,000. Both blinds released and Ball instantly called.

Aidan Ball: {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}
Jacob Tostesen: {A-Spades}{10-Spades}

The board ran out an uneventful {5-Spades}{4-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{K-Spades} and Tostesen made his exit.

Soren Jansen Stansgaard and Carsten Rise got it in on a flop of {K-Spades}{2-Spades}{8-Diamonds} for 31,500 each. Rise was the one at risk and was trailing with {A-Spades}{4-Spades} as Stansgaard showed {8-Spades}{9-Diamonds}.

Emma Wikberg Eliminated

Level 13 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

We ran into Emma Wikberg and he told us she had just been eliminated. She had already started the day kind of short and never made a comeback.

In her final hand she ran {A-}{10-} into {A-}{K-} and didn't find a ten or other help on the flop, turn or river.
