Tiainen Doubles With Quads

Level 6 : 400/800, 100 ante

Antti Tiainen raised it up to 1,800 from early position and Lars Pieters in the small blind three-bet to 6,500. Tiainen moved all in and Pieters asked for a count. Once it was deemed to be just over 26,000, Pieters called.

Antti Tiainen: {K-Spades}{K-Clubs}
Lars Pieters: {Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs}

There was no sweat at all for the Finn, as he made quads on the board {K-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{K-Hearts}{9-Clubs}.

"That's very good," he said with his dry Scandinavian accent.

"No sweat," Lee Egan in the one seat replied and Tiainen added "but I like sweat."

Black No More

Level 5 : 300/600, 75 ante
Andy Black
Andy Black

Andy Black quickly doubled his stack after entering in level two, however, he has been eliminated prior to the dinner break and two big stacks have emerged over on table four. One of them is Markus Heikkila, and he was kind enough to provide the details, as it was him that sent Black to the rail.

According to Heikkila, he held pocket jacks and Black flopped top pair with {Q-}{10-} on ten-high when the chips went in. There was no help on turn and river, and Black vanished. David Vanderheyden has also been eliminated on a different table.

Tucknott Jams Up Stack

Level 5 : 300/600, 75 ante

Pascal Rabany has further increased his stack and Frida Andersson eventually jumped above the starting stack after spending most of the previous levels well below that. Another player to take part in the action on the same table is Michael Tucknott and he was just spotted in a big pot with table neighbor Vlad Screciu, who entered recently.

More than 30,000 were in the middle when the board showed {Q-Clubs}{5-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{7-Diamonds} and Screcia checked over to Tucknott, who jammed for what appeared to be 14,000. Screcia folded and Tucknott claimed the pot.

The High Roller Bubble Bursts

Level 5 : 300/600, 75 ante
Janos Kurtosi
Janos Kurtosi

Benny Glaser has taken over a commanding lead with five players remaining in the €2,200 High Roller and was also responsible for the money bubble to burst. Before that, Jack Sinclair and Kevin Killeen had been eliminated and Janos Kurtosi ended up as the bubble boy.

In a battle of the blinds at 2,000/4,000/4,000 and an average of 135,000, Glaser clashed with Kurtosi and cracked the {A-Spades}{A-Hearts} of his opponent with {3-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} thanks to a board of {K-Spades}{9-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{10-Spades}. Two hands later it was all over for Kurtosi, who got his last few chips in with {A-Spades}{6-Hearts} and Glaser looked him up with the {9-Clubs}{8-Hearts} as initial raiser in the hand. The board came {K-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{3-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts} and Glaser paired his eight on the turn to reduce the field to the last five.

Small Pot for Wilkens

Level 5 : 300/600, 75 ante

Emil Brunnberg returned from the second break with fewer than half the starting stack and invested 2,800 in a three-bet pot with neighbor Marc Wilkens in a battle cutoff versus button. Brunnberg checked the {7-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{5-Hearts} flop and Wilkens carefully cut out a bet of 2,500, which did the trick to force a fold from Brunnberg.

Other notables such as David Docherty and Anders Berg have no chips remaining anymore, as they were among the most recent casualties.
