Barabas Catching the Right Cards

Level 6 : 200/500, 500 ante

There was a raise to 1,200 from under the gun and Thomas Andre Jakobsen shipped all in for 11,200 in the cutoff. Zoltan Barabas flat-called on the button and the rest of the table folded.

Zoltan Barabas: {7-Spades}{7-Hearts}
Thomas Andre Jakobsen: {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}

Jakobsen was in a great position to double up but the {7-Clubs} in the window followed by {10-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} was not looking good for him. The {6-Hearts} on the turn and the {j-Hearts} on the river provided no help and Barabas claimed another victim.

Roeder Eliminates Juutilainen

Level 6 : 200/500, 500 ante

The chips were already in the middle and the cards were on their backs with Tonio Roeder and Henri Juutilainen squaring off. Juutilainen was the player at risk for around 12,000 chips and would require some help in order to stay alive.

Tonio Roeder: {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}
Henri Juutilainen: {a-Hearts}{j-Clubs}

The flop of {10-Spades}{4-Spades}{4-Clubs} was not looking good for Juutilainen who was looking to hit an ace. The {7-Clubs} on the turn nor the {8-Spades} on the river would provide any help as Juutilainen headed for the exit.

Small Dent in Rouquet's Stack

Level 6 : 200/500, 500 ante

The action folded to Leszek Wojtyla in the hijack who moved all in for his last 7,600. Julien Rouquet asked for a count and then made the call from the cutoff.

Leszek Wojtyla: {9-Spades}{9-Hearts}
Julien Rouquet: {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}

It was a coin flip and Rouquet took the lead on the {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{6-Hearts} flop. The {q-Hearts} on the turn gave Rouquet two pair but Wojtyla picked up a flush draw. The {j-Hearts} on the river meant Wojtyla hit his flush and survived with a small double up.

Grabowski Turns a Flush

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante

Johannes Vaisanen opened to 1,000 from under the gun and was called by Jami Juutila a couple of seats over. Bartlomiej Grabowski came along from the big blind and the dealer spread the flop of {9-Spades}{6-Hearts}{4-Hearts}. Grabowski checked to Vaisanen who continued for 1,500 and both Juutila and Grabowski called.

The turn was the {10-Hearts} and the action checked to Juutila who bet 4,000. Grabowski called and Vaisanen let his hand go. The river was the {2-Clubs} and Grabowski checked again. Juutila quickly checked it back and Grabowski showed {k-Hearts}{2-Hearts} for a flush to win the pot.

The Limp-Shove Strategy Works for Ohman

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante

After five players limped into the pot, Jia Tang made it 4,200 to go from the big blind. Henrik Ohman got things started by limping from under the gun and he pushed all in for 12,900. The action folded back to Tang who thought for a bit before making the call.

Henrik Ohman: {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}
Jia Tang: {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

The board ran out {q-Spades}{9-Hearts}{5-Spades}{8-Spades}{6-Hearts} and despite turning a straight draw, Tang sent over a double up to Ohman.

Soukup Folds to Aksnes

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante

Picking up the action on the turn with just under 7,000 in the middle, the board read {9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{10-Spades}. Martin Soukup led out with a bet of 2,400 and Kristian Aksnes raised to 6,300. Soukup called and the {3-Clubs} hit the river.

Soukup checked this time and Aksnes put together a bet of 12,400. Soukup went into the tank for a couple of minutes but decided to lay his hand down facing a bet for half of his stack.
