Level 3 : 150/300, 25 ante

Benjamin Morrison was eliminated from Day 2 of the High Roller and jumped into the Main Event to join the same table as Dehlia De Jong. One table over, Charalampos Lappas is down to a mere 6,000 chips and just shoved over the top of a raise and forced a fold. The current chip leader is on the very same table in Alvaras Baranauskas.

Two time Unibet Open champion Dan Murariu joined late and also boosted his stack significantly.

Level 3 : 150/300, 25 ante
Kalman Dohany
Kalman Dohany

With plenty of chips already in the middle and the flop showing {Q-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{9-Spades}, George Dimuleasa checked and faced a bet of 5,000 by table neighbor Kalman Dohany. Dimuleasa moved all in and Dohany snap-called for his last 17,250.

Kalman Dohany: {J-Spades}{J-Diamonds}
George Dimuleasa: {A-Clubs}{A-Spades}

The {4-Diamonds} turn and {9-Diamonds} river kept Dohany in the lead and he doubled.

Morrison Chops with Storm

Level 4 : 200/400, 50 ante

On a flop of {K-Hearts}{7-Spades}{3-Spades}, Benjamin Morrison bet and called a raise to 3,500 by table neighbor Nicholas Storm. The {8-Hearts} fell on the turn and Morrison checked, then called a bet of 5,800 by Storm. Ultimately, the {7-Diamonds} river paired the board and Morrison checked once more. Storm emptied the clip and bet 11,300.

Morrison was sent deep into the think tank and eventually called, prompting Storm to roll over {K-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}. Morrison was relieved as he had the equally strong {K-Spades}{Q-Hearts} before adding some more table chat with regards to the strong betting of the Dane.

Barouk Missing

Level 4 : 200/400, 50 ante

Philippe Barouk was on one of the last tables to open with plenty of big names, but the Frenchman has gone missing since. Fellow countryman Antoine Saout confirmed that it was him that won a flip with ace-king against the jacks of Barouk for 13,000 before then losing a bigger pot to table chip leader Jeremy Pantin.

Suhail Doubles Through Warris

Level 4 : 200/400, 50 ante
Mohammed Suhail
Mohammed Suhail

The excellent start of Asif Warris has vanished and the Brit suddenly sits on a mere 10 big blinds while Mohammed Suhail in the last seat was all smiles and explained what happened. According to Suhail, he faced a raise to 900 and a call, which he called as well. Warris three-bet big to 5,100 and Suhail was the only caller with {J-Spades}{10-Spades} to flop the nut straight. Warris got it in with top set and failed to improve.

Vuoksenmaa Among the Chip Leaders

Level 4 : 200/400, 50 ante

Nicolas Proust (next to Espen Uhlen Jorstad) and Jorma Vuoksenmaa (next to Dan Murariu) are among the chip leaders.

Vuoksenmaa scored an early double and just added some more chips in a three-way pot that also included Murariu. Vuoksenmaa called a raise to 1,000 by his table neighbor and Murariu from one seat over made it three-ways to the {Q-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{6-Spades} flop. Action checked to Murariu and his bet of 2,100 was called by Vuoksenmaa only. The {8-Clubs} turn and {9-Spades} river brought no action and Vuoksenmaa showed {7-Spades}{5-Spades} for a straight as winning hand.
