One for Each at the Start of Heads Up

Level 27 : 50,000/100,000, 15,000 ante

Paul Jux Holderness bet the {J-Clubs}{10-Spades}{5-Hearts} flop for 300,000 with the {3-Hearts}{3-Clubs} and Julien Kron check-called with {A-Spades}{5-Spades} for bottom pair. On the {K-Hearts} turn, Kron checked once more and Jux Holderness fired a second barrel worth 725,000 to win the pot.

Right after, it was Kron that flopped best with {J-Clubs}{10-Hearts} versus {9-Diamonds}{8-Spades} on the {A-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{9-Hearts} flop and Jux Holderness check-called a bet of 275,000. On the {3-Hearts} turn, the Brit checked and Kron made it 675,000 to go. Jux Holderness cut out calling chips, but sent his cards into the muck.

David Schable Eliminated in 4th Place (€23,750); Keith Brennan Eliminated in 3rd Place (€32,100)

Level 27 : 50,000/100,000, 15,000 ante

First to act, David Schable moved all in for 940,000 and Julien Kron on the button contemplated his move before reshoving for 3,145,000. Keith Brennan in the small blind called all in for 2,320,000 and the

David Schable: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}
Keith Brennan: {Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs}
Julien Kron: {J-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}

The door card was the {J-Spades} followed by the {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} and Kron suddenly only had the case queen to fear. There was no miracle as the {3-Clubs} turn and {4-Spades} river reduced the field from four to two, vaulting Kron into the lead and prime position to become the next Unibet Open Main Event champion.

Schable was eliminated in 4th place for €23,750 and Brennan, who was down to one big blind and an ante at 11 players remaining, took home €32,100 for his 3rd place finish.

Kron and Paul Jux Holderness will now take a 10-minute break before commencing their heads-up duel for the title.

Mick McCloskey
Mick McCloskey

First to act, Mick McCloskey moved all in for 840,000 and Keith Brennan in the big blind gave it some thought before making the call for a big portion of his stack.

Mick McCloskey: {A-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}
Keith Brennan: {6-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}

The {8-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} flop and {4-Spades} turn brought some hope, but the {J-Hearts} on the river was a blank and McCloskey was eliminated in 5th place for €18,300.

Brennan Doubles Through McCloskey

Level 27 : 50,000/100,000, 15,000 ante

Keith Brennan moved all in from the cutoff with the {K-Spades}{5-Diamonds} for 620,000 and he was called by Mick McCloskey on the button, who held the {A-Hearts}{9-Spades}. The flop brought {K-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{5-Hearts} to improve Brennan to two pair, and the {3-Diamonds} turn and {2-Diamonds} river let Brennan and McCloskey swap positions.

The All In Festival Continues

Level 27 : 50,000/100,000, 15,000 ante

David Schable was all in with the {K-Diamonds}{10-Spades} for just over three big blinds and Julien Kron called with {7-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}.

The board of {A-Spades}{10-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{3-Clubs} kept Schable in the running and he closed the gap to fellow short stack Keith Brennan.

Schable Reduced to Two Big Blinds

Level 27 : 50,000/100,000, 15,000 ante

The streak of all in situations continues as David Schable moved all in from the cutoff and Mick McCloskey called for fewer chips in the big blind.

Mick McCloskey: {K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}
David Schable {A-Spades}{J-Diamonds}

McCloskey improved to a pair of kings on the {K-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{2-Clubs} flop, and the {6-Diamonds} turn, as well as the {7-Diamonds} river, failed to improve Schable. He was visibly shaking and needs a miracle to make it further up the pay jumps.

More Jams; No Bustouts

Level 27 : 50,000/100,000, 15,000 ante

Julien Kron raised to 200,000 with the {7-Hearts}{7-Spades} and Mick McCloskey jammed for nine big blinds early into the new level with {7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}. Kron called and the chop was already guaranteed after the {A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs} flop.

Keith Brennan then jammed an ace to claim the blinds and antes.

David Schable moved all in for 965,000 with the {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs} and Kron reluctantly folded the {K-Hearts}{J-Spades}.
