Pierre Chambon

From the hijack, Bas de Laat opened for 10,000. His neighbor in the one seat Piotr Marzejon three-bet from the cutoff to 26,000. On the button Pierre Chambon cold four-bet to 63,000 and both blinds quickly released.

De Laat leaned forward to check how much Marzejon was playing, and announced all in. Both Marzejon and Chambon quickly folded.

Wendt Out With a Set

Level 14 : 2,500/5,000, 1,000 ante
Martin Wendt
Martin Wendt

From middle position Martin Wendt made it 12,000 to go and Griffin Benger in the big blind was the sole caller.

The flop came {7-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{6-Spades} and Benger checked. Wendt made a continuation bet of 14,000 and Benger check raised to 32,000. Wendt shoved all in and Benger called so quick, we didn't have time to make a count on Wendt's push.

Martin Wendt: {7-Spades}{7-Hearts}
Griffin Benger: {6-Hearts}{8-Clubs}

The {Q-Spades} on the turn was a blank but the {9-Hearts} on the river sure wasn't.

"Unlucky man" said Griffin.

Wendt answered with some not too kind sounding Danish words while leaving the table.

Marcher Hits Lucky River to Stay Alive

Level 14 : 2,500/5,000, 1,000 ante
Glenn Marcher
Glenn Marcher

From early position Griffin Benger made it 10,500. Johan Goslings flatted right behind him, and so did Sami Pullianen from the cutoff.

Glenn Marcher shoved from the small blind for 66,000 and the big blind folded. Benger asked for a count and folded as well. Goslings now shoved all in and Pullianen folded right away.

Johan Goslings: {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}
Glenn Marcher: {10-Clubs}{8-Clubs}

Marcher was already getting up after the flop ({K-Hearts}{5-Spades}{4-Diamonds}) and turn ({4-Hearts}) hadn't improved him, but the lucky {10-Diamonds} on the river had him sat down again.

Benger was shaking his head a little, and Marcher asked him why he was doing that. "Because it's a terrible shove. I like you and I want you to stay around, so I'm disappointed."

The two discussed the hand for a bit more, with Marcher telling Benger that he was fine with getting it in on a flip as there was already so much money in the middle. Benger shook his head some more and they went on to the next hand.

40 players remain, 4 to the money.

Break

A 20-minute break for the players. The T500-chips will be raced off, the T1,000-chips will be the lowest denomination in play when the players return.

Level: 15

Blinds: 3,000/6,000

Ante: 1,000

Play Slows Down

Level 15 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

With just 2 more players to go home empty handed, the tournament has slowed down a bit. There's no real stalling going on just yet, but big pots have not been seen for some time now.

Quentin Lecomte Eliminated

Level 15 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Quentin Lecome
Quentin Lecome

From the hijack, Quentin Lecomte shoved all in for 70,000. The cutoff folded but Emil Westerberg on the button called. Both blinds folded.

Quentin Lecomte: {A-Spades}{10-Spades}
Emil Westerberg: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}

Lecomte asked for a split after the {J-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{6-Hearts} flop, but the poker gods decided otherwise; {2-Spades} on the turn and {4-Clubs} on the river.

Down to 37 players now, hand for hand will start after all the hands are done. Players are not allowed to get up from their table to look at other tables, and electronic devices are not allowed while hand for hand play is in progress.
