Big Stacks in the "Club Room"

Level 6 : 400/800, 100 ante

Tamas Tomozi had 96,000 chips after two levels, mostly due to a kings versus aces setup where he rivered a king. However, Tomozi has been eliminated before the dinner break with other names emerging as big stacks among the four tables in the "Club Room."

Among them is also Francis Foord-Brown, who finished 4th in the 2017 Unibet Open London Main Event for £23,000.

Assorted Bustouts

Level 6 : 400/800, 100 ante
Skullman No More
Skullman No More

The player with the nickname "Skullman" has been eliminated and his fancy card protector is no longer found in the tournament area. Further players to bust include Tommy Skarbo, Mihai Buzamat, Paul Siddle and Sachin Joshi.

Joshi was all in and at risk with the {A-Clubs}{A-Diamonds} and Adrian Chivu looked him up with the {Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}. The Romanian got there on the river of a board {6-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{Q-Spades}.

Sitbon's Table Image Pays Off

Level 6 : 400/800, 100 ante

Gisle Olsen raised to 2,500 on the button and Julien Sitbon simply moved all in from the big blind, which Olsen snap-called for around 19,000.

Gisle Olsen: {K-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}
Julien Sitbon: {K-Hearts}{Q-Spades}

The board came {A-Spades}{8-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{6-Hearts} and king-queen high was good enough to win the pot. "I knew you didn't have it," Olsen said while leaving the table.

Ian Simpson
Ian Simpson

On a flop of {10-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{4-Spades}, Lukasz Cygan was all in for 6,200 with the {Q-Hearts}{10-Spades} and the table neighbor Paul Dunne called with {8-Spades}{8-Clubs}. The {J-Spades} turn and {4-Hearts} river were both blanks and Cygan doubled.

At the same time, Ian Simpson was spotted leaving the tournament area. Mike Hill confirmed that the Unibet Poker ambassador came up short with {K-}{Q-} versus {A-}{K-} despite flopping an additional gutshot on {J-}{9-}{8-}.

Never Say Never

Level 6 : 400/800, 100 ante

Asgeir Lund was all in for just 6,725 with the {10-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} and his table neighbor Janos Nemeth called with the {A-Hearts}{10-Spades}. The board of {Q-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} gave Lund a flush and he raked in the pot.

The same table also features Julien Sitbon and Soran Talan and the table atmosphere is quite relaxed.

Hill Moving Up; Sitbon Takes a Hit

Level 5 : 300/600, 75 ante

Tina Bandyle raised to 1,500 in the cutoff and called Julien Sitbon in the small blind three-bet to 4,900, Bandyle called. On the {6-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{5-Hearts} flop the remaining 5,350 of Bandyle went in with the {9-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} and Sitbon looked her up with {A-Clubs}{K-Spades}. The {J-Clubs} turn and {3-Diamonds} river changed nothing anymore and Bandyle doubled.

Mike Hill dispatched Dagfinn Thon after the {A-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} of "Da Bookie" held up against {A-}{9-} on an ace-high board.

Updated Counts and Bustouts

Level 5 : 300/600, 75 ante

On the flop of {K-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}, Steven Watts on the button made it 5,225 to go after a bet by Lars Jonsson and the Swede responded by moving all in for 26,100. Watts folded and asked if Jonsson had kings, who replied "sure" before cheekily turning over the {A-Hearts}.

Dinner Served to the Tables

Level 5 : 300/600, 75 ante
Dinner Time at The Vic
Dinner Time at The Vic

"The Vic" delivers food in bowls directly to the tables courtesy of the Unibet Open and the players can pick between several dishes. While the scheduled dinner break is after level six, the vast majority of players take advantage to fuel up early and waitresses were also doing the rounds earlier with free wine.

Pohnke Busts In First Hand

Level 5 : 300/600, 75 ante
Domien Fierens
Domien Fierens

Among the most recent bustouts were Egi Adriaans, Giulio Mascolo, Benny Glaser, Domien Fierens and Thomas Pohnke. The latter apparently busted on the first hand he played and couldn't remember when that happened to him the last time.

Pohnke said he raised to 1,500 and was called by Hong Wang in the small blind, who bet the {A-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{X-} flop for 3,500. Pohnke raised to 11,000 and was called before Wang jammed the {9-} turn with {Q-}{J-}, Pohnke called with {A-}{K-} and "improved" to two pair on the river while Wang got there with a straight.

The same table features some other massive action, as Kfir Ivgi dropped to the starting stack and Andrew Hills chipped up immensely.
