Barabas Keeps Building

Level 6 : 400/800, 100 ante

It's been all Zoltan Barabas over at table 13 today. Moments ago, the Hungarian claimed another victim and launched himself over the 200k mark.

On a {Q-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{2-Clubs} flop, Barabas bet 3,000, the small blind called, the player in the big blind check-raised to 8,000, Barabas called and the small blind folded. The turn brought the {A-Diamonds} and Barabas called a bet of 12,000.

On the {3-Clubs} river, the big blind went all in for 16,000 and Barabas snap-called with {A-Hearts}{A-Spades}. The big blind showed his inferior {K-Spades}{2-Diamonds} and was eliminated.

"Ah, I should have known better", smiled the big blind with a nod to Barabas' impressive run today.

Barabas Takes A Big Lead

Level 5 : 300/600, 75 ante

Over at table 13, Hungary's Zoltan Barabas is sitting behind a very impressive stack of 165,000. While sipping on a glass of Chardonnay, Barabas talked us through two big hands that skyrocketed him to the top of the standings.

In the first hand, Barabas opened with the optional {J-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} from under the gun. A player to his left called and the flop came down {K-}{6-}{X-}. Barabas bet and his opponent called.

The {6-} on the turn gave Barabas trip sixes and he bet 4,000. His opponent raised to 11,000 and Barabas called. The {J-} on the river completed the Hungarian's full house, and he check-called an all-in shove. His opponent couldn't muster up more than a king and was eliminated.

In the second hand, Barabas raised on the button with {A-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} and a player defended his big blind. The flop came down {K-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{J-} and the big blind led out 1,000. Barabas raised to 3,300, the big blind shoved for 25,000 and Barabas called.

The big blind showed {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} for the flopped straight, but the turn was a diamond to seal another big pot for the Hungarian.

Viktor Blom Enters

Level 4 : 200/400, 50 ante

Viktor Blom

Swedish ultra high-stakes phenom Viktor "Isildur1" Blom has taken his seat. The Swede is known for his enigmatic playing style and is frequently seen in the highest cash games the world has to offer. In tournaments, however, "Isildur1" is a rare sight these days. His last official cash dates back to 2014 when he finished second in a €10,000 No Limit Hold'em Turbo in Monaco, cashing €129,650.

Last night, the Swedish prodigy finished second in the Unibet Ambassadors Battle Royale, being ousted by Charlotte van Brabander heads-up. Blom earned £3,000 for his troubles, which should cover a few big blinds in his regular game.

Blom is currently sitting on a stack of 25,000.

Forsen Eliminated

Level 4 : 200/400, 50 ante

Sebastian "ForsenSC2" Fors, who finished 3rd in last night's eSports Battle Royale (£2,000), found his demise at the hands of Dutchman Johan Goslings. Goslings opened to 900 from middle position and Fors defended his big blind.

The flop came down {Q-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts} and Goslings bet 1,000. Fors check-raised to 3,000 and Goslings called. On the {8-Spades} turn, the popular Hearthstone-streamer bet 5,000 and Goslings called again.

The river was the {A-Hearts} and the Swede checked. Goslings moved all in and Fors called the rest of his stack off. Goslings showed {A-Diamonds}{A-Spades} for aces full, Fors flashed the {Q-Clubs} and mucked his hand.
