Andersen Scores a Double Up

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Matthew Ireland opened to 16,000 in middle position and Christian Andersen shoved all in for 70,000 on the button. The blinds folded and Ireland asked for a count before making the call.

Christian Andersen: {j-Clubs}{9-Clubs}
Matthew Ireland: {4-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}

The flop of {9-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} put Andersen in the lead after hitting a nine. The {j-Spades} on the turn made his hand event better and the {5-Spades} on the river confirmed his double up.

Kaarstad on the Rise Again

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

The action folded to Serdar Demircan in the small blind who made it 18,000 to go. Petter Kaarstad called from the big blind and the two players saw a flop of {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}.

Both players checked and the {k-Clubs} landed on the turn. Demircan led out for 23,000 and Kaarstad made a quick call. The river was the {3-Spades} and Demircan sized up another bet of 60,000. Kaarstad thought for a moment but eventually made the call. Demircan showed {a-Clubs}{j-Hearts} for just ace-high while Kaarstad held {k-Diamonds}{7-Spades} for top pair.

Bad Timing for Polgar

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

After a raise to 12,000 from Zoltan Barabas, Tonio Roeder shipped all in for 137,000 in the cutoff. Krisztina Polgar also put her last 60,000 chips in the middle on the button and the rest of the table folded.

Tonio Roeder: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}
Krisztina Polgar: {k-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}

Polgar found herself in a dominated position and there was nothing the {6-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{5-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} board could do to save her.

Ojala Flops a Set to Stay Alive

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

The action folded to Serdar Demircan who made it 17,000 to go on the button. Toni Ojala pushed his stack of 82,000 into the middle from the big blind and Demircan couldn't get the chips in fast enough.

Toni Ojala: {j-Spades}{j-Clubs}
Serdar Demircan: {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}

The flop came {j-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} and Ojala grabbed a stranglehold on the hand with a set of jacks. The {q-Spades} on the turn gave Demircan a straight draw but the {3-Spades} on the river ensured Ojala of a double up.

Spicy Turn Card for the Canadian

Level 16 : 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Connor Quinn and Steinar Knutsen each stuck in 25,000 apiece preflop and the dealer fanned the flop of {8-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{2-Clubs}. Knutsen was the first to act and shoved all in for 133,000. Quinn thought for a brief moment before announcing a call.

Connor Quinn: {a-Clubs}{5-Clubs}
Steinar Knutsen: {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}

Quinn was looking for a club and he got it in the form of the {j-Clubs} on the turn. Knutsen now needed the board to pair but the {k-Diamonds} on the river bricked off and Knutsen was eliminated.
