Amazing River Skyrockets Simpson

Level 8 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
Ian Simpson
Ian Simpson

Tapio Jarvinen opened the action from under the gun and Alessandro Pichierri called in middle position. Unibet Ambassador Ian Simpson three-bet on the button, Jarvinen four-bet shoved for 35,100, Pichierri reshoved and Simpson called all in for 60,700.

Just like that, a pot of over 150,000 was created with the mother of all setups:

Tapio Jarvinen: {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}
Ian Simpson: {K-Clubs}{K-Spades}
Alessandro Pichierri: {A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}

Pichierri had both players covered and was in tremendous shape to claim the overall chip lead. The board ran out {7-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{K-Hearts} and the river had the players gasping. Everyone quickly whipped out their phone to capture the moment, including Simpson himself, who suddenly boasts a stack of 160,000. Pichierri was left with 30,000, Jarvinen was eliminated.

Kuiper Pushed Out

Level 7 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

After Thomas Eychenne had raised from middle position, Bart Kuiper made it 7,300 from the big blind and Eychenne called in position. The flop was {6-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{7-Spades} and Kuiper bet 7,500 after thirty seconds.

Eychenne went in the tank for minutes, appeared to settle on a fold, then opted to flick all his T-5,000 chips in. Kuiper checked his hand before throwing it in the muck.

Eliminated Before Dinner; Moolhuizen and "MojoOnPC" Out

Level 7 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Jordy "MojoOnPC" Janssens
Jordy "MojoOnPC" Janssens

Players that got eliminated before dinner include Mateusz Moolhuizen and Jordy "MojoOnPC" Janssens. Moolhuizen called off three streets on {A-}{7-}{6-}{J-}{10-} with {J-}{7-}, with the last barrel being for his tournament life. His opponent showed {K-}{Q-} for the backdoor straight to eliminate the two-time champ.

Janssens was down to 8,100 when he moved in with {A-Hearts}{10-Spades}. He got looked up by Erik Nordahl with {K-Hearts}{K-Spades} and failed to improve enough on a {7-Spades}{10-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{2-Clubs} board.
