A Triple Up and Two Double Ups

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

Jonathan Lowe was all in for just 33,000 with the {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}, facing Tomas Motrimas with {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} and Emil Brunnberg with {A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}. The board ran out {10-Hearts}{6-Spades}{5-Spades}{4-Clubs}{J-Hearts} and Lowe tripled up, Motrimas was left with crumbs.

Markus Heikkila flopped a flush draw with {K-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}, but Pascal Rabany on the button held up with {K-Spades}{K-Hearts} when the chips went in after the flop of a board {8-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{8-Spades}{2-Spades}.

Last but not least, Benny Glaser three-bet out of the big blind and was at risk for 75,000, initial raiser Paul Jux Holderness called.

Benny Glaser: {6-Clubs}{6-Spades}
Paul Jux Holderness: {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}

The pocket pair remained best after the {J-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{6-Hearts} board and Glaser doubled with a full house.

Hakala Busts in Brutal Fashion

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

Hand #1

Down to only 18,000, Tomas Motrimas was all in with the {J-Spades}{3-Diamonds} and Henri Koivisto called with the {K-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}. The board came {6-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} and Motrimas got there on the turn.

Hand #2

Peter Cahill shoved for 102,000 on the button and Motrimas called for fewer than that from the small blind, Ville Hakala called all in out of the big blind.

Tomas Motrimas: {A-Spades}{10-Hearts}
Ville Hakala: {J-Spades}{J-Hearts}
Peter Cahill: {A-Clubs}{2-Spades}

The {J-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{2-Hearts} flop all but sealed the fate of Motrimas, but the {4-Clubs} turn and {3-Hearts} river turned top set into the worst hand. Cahill chipped up the most in the side pot and Hakala headed to the rail with a bad beat story to tell.

Lecomte No More

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

Quentin Lecomte was no longer in his seat and the UnibetPoker.fr ambassador was spotted with Alexandre Reard and the French media, explaining how he had busted.

According to Lecomte, Mick McCloskey defended his big blind and check-called three barrels on a board of {A-Spades}{10-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{7-Hearts} for 16,000 on the flop, 30,000 on the turn and 142,000 on the river. Lecomte was caught bluffing with {Q-}{J-} and McCloskey had {A-}{Q-Hearts} for top pair.

Keown KO'd By Gassand

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

Elias Vaaraniemi took a hit when Ricardo Klassen doubled through the Finn, while fellow big stack Per Helge Gassand sent John Keown to the rail.

Gassand opened on the button and called the shove of Keown in the big blind for 102,000 total.

John Keown: {A-Spades}{J-Clubs}
Per Helge Gassand: {K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}

The {K-Spades}{K-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} flop left Keown with just running aces as outs, and he was drawing dead on the {6-Spades} turn. A meaningless {4-Hearts} fell on the river and Keown was eliminated in 42nd place.

Nash Chops; Busts After

Level 16 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Christopher Nash
Christopher Nash

Christopher Nash had a lucky chop when he was all in with {A-Hearts}{J-Hearts} against the {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds} of David Lappin, as a seven-high straight appeared on the board.

Soon after he had the best of it going into the showdown with {K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts} and faced Robbie McCormack with {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}. This time, Nash saw the board run out {8-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} to improve McCormack to the nut flush and he had to settle for 41st place.

The table broke right after and Lappin arrived to see Tomas Montrimas double through Peter Cahill in a flip, prevailing with pocket nines. Not long ago, Motrimas was in need of a miracle and at risk for 13,000. However, he has now jumped to almost 30 big blinds.

Richard O'Neill
Richard O'Neill

Over on the feature table, John Farrell and Andy Black have taken over control, while Pascal Rabany and Richard O'Neill were among the short stacks. Rabany jammed two hands in a row and the second time came out of the cutoff for 85,000, O'Neill called all in for 78,000 on the button.

Richard O'Neill: {A-Spades}{9-Clubs}
Pascal Rabany: {K-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}

Rabany flopped trips queens on {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{5-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{10-Hearts} and O'Neill was left without any hope on the turn already.

Roller Coaster for Lowe; Ohman No More

Level 16 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Jan Marcus Ohman three-bet for the last 50,000 and Joseph Ellis reluctantly called to turn over {A-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}. Ohman was ahead with {7-Spades}{7-Diamonds}, but that just lasted until the {A-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{2-Clubs} flop. The {J-Hearts} turn and {K-Diamonds} river were blanks and Ohman was eliminated.

One table over, Jonathan Lowe doubled Paul Jux Holderness for 82,000 when he jammed the button with {J-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}. Holderness had {4-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} and the board came {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{A-Spades}.

Lowe doubled his remaining few chips through Henri Koivisto with {A-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} versus {J-Spades}{9-Hearts}, then lost a flip against an even shorter-stacked Peter Cahill with {8-Clubs}{8-Spades} versus {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}.

Glaser Sends Lowe to the Rail

Level 16 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Benny Glaser opened the action with a raise to 17,000 on the button and Jonathan Lowe moved all in from one seat over for 82,000 in the small blind. An instant call of Glaser followed and the cards were on their backs.

Jonathan Lowe: {A-Clubs}{10-Clubs}
Benny Glaser: {J-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}

Glaser showed no reaction on the {J-Spades}{5-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} flop and it wouldn't have been the first time a set of jacks ended up second-best on this very table. Lowe's run definitely came to an end with the {5-Diamonds} turn and the {A-Hearts} river was just a formality.
