Once Upon a Double-Up for Illingworth

Level 26 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Once it folded all the way to Henrik Juncker in the small blind, he leveraged his massive chip advantage and pushed all-in. Daniel Illingworth called all-in for 270,000 in the big blind and the cards were revealed.

Daniel Illingworth: {q-Spades}{9-Hearts}
Henrik Juncker: {q-Hearts}{3-Hearts}

Board: {k-Spades}{9-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{j-Hearts}

Illingworth added yet another double-up to his resume for the day to remain in contention.

Mölderkivi Doubles Through Illingworth

Level 26 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Rain Mölderkivi
Rain Mölderkivi

Out of the hijack Daniel Illingworth open-jammed for 840,000 and Rain Mölderkivi with the even shorter stack from one seat over in the cutoff asked for a count.

More than a minute of grim consideration later, the Estonian called all-in for 450,000 as well.

Daniel Illingworth: {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}
Rain Mölderkivi: {a-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}

The {7-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{3-Spades} flop failed to improve Mölderkivi but he got there on the {a-Spades} turn. Nothing changed on the {2-Diamonds} river and Illingworth traded the spot at the bottom of the leaderboard with his table neighbour.

Kuhlman Doubles Through Demircan For the Second Time

Level 26 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Rene Kuhlman
Rene Kuhlman

In a battle of the blinds, Serdar Demircan raised it up to 155,000 and Rene Kuhlman carefully cut out a three-bet for 430,000 with 990,000 behind.

Demircan tried to start some table chat before pushing all-in and Kuhlman snap-called.

Rene Kuhlman: {j-Spades}{j-Hearts}
Serdar Demircan: {k-Hearts}{7-Clubs}

"Fuck ... give me a damn king," Demircan rambled when he was snap-called. The {q-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} and Kuhlman doubled, denying Demircan the promised knockout that he had been gunning for on several occasions.

Demircan Cannot Fool Juncker

Level 26 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Henrik Juncker opened the {j-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} in the cutoff and Serdar Demircan defended his big blind with {10-Hearts}{5-Spades}. Unlike in previous times, Demircan took the lead on the {a-Spades}{9-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} flop with a bet worth 80,000 but couldn't get rid of Juncker just yet.

After the {3-Diamonds} turn Demircan checked and let go when Juncker bet 120,000.

Even More Chips for Juncker

Level 26 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Mats Karlsson opened the action with a raise to 120,000 with the {k-Spades}{j-Diamonds} and Henrik Juncker three-bet again, this time making it 340,000 to go with the {a-Spades}{10-Diamonds}.

Once more, nobody put up any resistance as the Dane pulled ahead of the pack with his well-timed aggression.

Karlsson glanced at {a-Clubs}{2-Hearts} from under the gun next and sent them into the muck. It folded to Serdar Demircan in the small blind and he limped the {10-Diamonds}{6-Spades}, Rene Kuhlman checked his option with the {5-Clubs}{2-Clubs}. The {k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} flop gave Demircan the bottom pair and his small bet won it right there.

Juncker Ups the Aggression

Level 26 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Serdar Demircan as the chip leader limped in with the {5-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} from an early position and Rene Kuhlman raised to 180,000 from one seat over with the {a-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}.

Henrik Juncker then reraised to 460,000 on the button with {a-Clubs}{10-Spades} and shut down both opponents to win the pot.

"Nice hand Sir ... you see what happens when you try to steal my blind ... my chips?" Demircan joked towards Kuhlman.

Demircan Takes His Sweet Time

Level 26 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Daniel Illingworth jammed it in for 900,000 with the {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts} and that sent Serdar Demircan into a tank with the {a-Spades}{9-Hearts}. He glanced at the cards several time with some posturing at the table before folding. The blinds also got out of the way including Mats Karlsson, who let go of {k-Hearts}{j-Clubs}.

Demircan then raised to 120,000 with the {a-Spades}{7-Spades} and Karlsson three-bet to 350,000 with the {k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} in the small blind.

"I still have time, I'll catch you," Demircan said after another long time when he opted to sigh-fold.
