Double Knock Out For Hegedus

Level 11 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

Former Unibet Open Copenhagen runner up Emil Hegedus just knocked out two players in one hand.

Hegedus raised from the button, Morten Brenoe shoved for around 15 big blinds from the small blind and the Karsten Nielsen shoved over the top for 30 big blinds from the big blind.

Hegedus made the call to put two of his opponents at risk holding pocket tens, and he was up against threes and ace-king.

The board brought mere blanks, and the Hungarian player raked in this massive pot.

Kara Rivers Sorensen in Big Clash

Level 11 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

Andreas Sorensen was seemingly on his way to a big stack, but the river ruined his plans as it gave Tutku Halima Kara the winning hand.

Kara told us at the completion of the hand that he called a raise from the big blind, after which the flop brought out {J-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}. Kara check-called another bet and on the turn the {6-Hearts} hit.

"I checked again, and he moved all in," Kara said, as he risked his stack worth 61,500 on the turn.

Sorensen showed pocket queens, and he was well ahead against Kara's {K-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}.

The river brought the {K-Hearts}, and Kara jumped out of his seat in excitement. Sorensen shook his head and left the table for a hand as Kara stacked his newly won chips.

Hennebjerre's Hands

Level 11 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

One of our Danish colleagues just spoke to defending Unibet Open Copenhagen champion Theis Hennebjerre about the hands that catapulted him up the chip counts.

Hennebjerre first won a big flip with ace-queen versus nines in a blind battle, followed by aces to ace-queen in another confrontation from the same position.

Hennebjerre now sits on 175,000 chips.

Simpson Gets Aggressive

Level 11 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

Ian Simpson raised to 5,200 from early position and from his direct left Cristian Cirtog three-bet to 13,500. The action folded back around to Simpson and he quickly made the call.

The flop came down {A-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} and Simpson check-called a bet of 12,000 before the turn brought out the {10-Clubs}.

Simpson grabbed some chips and took over the betting lead by firing out 38,000, and Cirtog went into the tank.

After a bit Cirtog called, and the river completed the board with the {Q-Diamonds}.

"All in," Simpson calmly announced on the river for about 75,000, being covered by Cirtog who had 90,000 in front of him.

Cirtog tanked for a long time, but eventually he folded and Simpson mucked his cards as he raked in the chips.

Defending Champ Hennebjerre Off To Blazing Start

Level 10 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Theis Hennebjerre - defending Unibet Open Copenhagen champion - started the day with just 47,700 chips, and right now he's already up to 190,000.

This puts Hennebjerre in the top five as of right now, just one hour into Day 2. Hennebjerre's only live tournament cash to date was his victory in Copenhagen last year, and by the looks of it he's headed for another cash here at Casino Copenhagen.

Blanner Finds Kinds to Bust Andersen

Level 10 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Johnny Andersen raised to 7,00 and the action folded to Soren Blanner who three-bet to what looked like 22,000, and Andersen moved all in. Blanner snap-called and the showdown went as follows.

Andersen: {J-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}
Blanner: {K-Spades}{K-Hearts}

The board ran out {A-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{A-Clubs} and Andersen was knocked out. Blanner's up to 134,000 chips and on course for his first Unibet Open cash since 2011.

Bozoki Gets the Bad News a Bit Late

Level 10 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

From middle position, Zoltan Bozoki moved in for 29,700. His neighbor [Removed:8] in the hijack asked for a count and called. All other players quickly folded.

Zoltan Bozoki: {2-Hearts}{2-Spades}
[Removed:8]: {A-Hearts}{J-Spades}

The flop came {9-Spades}{9-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}, leaving Bozoki vulnerable for a counterfeit situation. The {10-Diamonds} was a blank and the dealer burned and tried to place the river, but before it was entirely revealed it fell back closed down on the table. Jurgens had already seen it was the {10-Hearts} and let out a scream of excitement. Bozoki got the bad news only seconds later and got up to make his exit.

Chop It Up!

Level 10 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Ufuk Yildirim opened from middle position and big blind Johan Goslings made the call. Goslings check-called 6,700 on {4-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} before both players checked the {3-Spades} on the turn.

The {2-Hearts} completed the board and Goslings made a bet of 6,200. Yildirim raised to 15,000 and Goslings laughed while calling.

Straight on the board and Yildirim showed {J-Spades}{J-Clubs}. Goslings tabled {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} and the two of them chopped the pot.

Haci Bayram
Haci Bayram

From the hijack, Haci Bayram raised to 4,000. The cutoff folded but button Thomas Halmer pushed all in for 23,600. Both blinds folded and Bayram made the call.

Haci Bayram: {A-Spades}{6-Spades}
Thomas Halmer: {9-Spades}{10-Spades}

The {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{J-Spades} was all Bayram, though Halmer still had a gutshot as direct outs. The {K-Hearts} on the turn and {J-Hearts} were blanks and Halmar made his exit.
