Van Meene Eliminates Said

Level 19 : 8,000/16,000, 3,000 ante

The following hand happened 30 minutes ago, but to not spoil the stream only appears online right now.

We kind of missed it, but Tim van Meene was kind enough to fill us in on what had just happened.

Joseph Said was short and shoved all in with {6-}{6-}. Van Meene woke up with {Q-}{Q-} and made the call. A board full of blanks later saw Said exit and Van Meene stack up to 780,000.

Clint Sammut Eliminated

Level 19 : 8,000/16,000, 3,000 ante

Right before the break, in the last hand, Clint Sammut got eliminated.

We witnessed big blind Mathias Christensen bet out 25,000 on a flop of {9-Spades}{4-Spades}{J-Diamonds}. Clint Sammut in the cutoff shoved all in for 210,000 and his neighbor Martin Soukup over shoved from the button.

Christensen tanked long and hard, ran through all the scenarios, and eventually folded claiming to have had nine-four.

Clint Sammut: {10-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}
Martin Soukup: {K-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}

The {K-Clubs} on the turn didn't do it for Sammut and neither did the {2-Spades} on the river.

Benger Busts Macesovic

Level 18 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Irena Macesovic
Irena Macesovic

The following hand happened 30 minutes ago, but to not spoil the stream only appears online right now.

From first position Vitalii Belyaev made it 25,000 to go. Over on the button Irena Macesovic three-bet to 70,000 and small blind Griffin Benger contemplated what to do for a bit before calling. Belyaev folded.

The flop came {J-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} and Benger checked. Macesovic bet 100,000 with 247,000 behind. Benger announced call in and Macesovic made the call.

Irena Macesovic: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}
Griffin Benger: {J-Clubs}{J-Spades}

The {2-Spades} on the turn sealed it for Benger and the {4-Clubs} on the river was there just to make things official.

Macesovic eliminated in 17th place. Another Unibet Open without a lady at the final table, something that happened just once in Unibet Open's long history.
