Thomsen Wins With Second Barrel

Level 1 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante

Nick Thomsen raised to 300 in the hijack and was called by Szymon Bujok on the button, Jacob Verloop also called out of the big blind. On the {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{10-Hearts} flop, only Verloop check-called for 800 and then checked the {9-Spades} on the turn. Thomsen bet another 3,000 and that won the pot right there.

Sexton Chips Up Without Showdown

Level 1 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante

With some 11,000 in the middle on a completed board of {k-Hearts}{4-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}, Karl Erik Sandoff checked his option over to Alan Sexton. The Irishman bet 11,000 and that triggered just a short tank by his opponent before Sandoff folded with a smile on the face. "Not that strong," he joked while Sexton raked in the pot and was then moved to a new table shortly after.

Niinimaa Chips Up Without Showdown

Level 1 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante

A rather small pot had emerged until the {k-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{4-Clubs} turn when Jasenko Izevic bet and table neighbour Olli Niinimaa called from one seat over. The {10-Spades} river complete the board and Izevic bet another 1,000. Niinimaa made it 3,500 to go and that shut down all further resistance by Izevic.

Fantoli Chips Up Against Hallgren

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Heads-up to the {a-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{7-Hearts} turn, Daniel Fantoli checked his option and then called a bet worth 900 by Malte Hallgren. The {6-Spades} river completed the board and Fantoli now bet 3,500. Hallgren quickly called and flashed his cards for a second but mucked with a gasp when he spotted the {a-Hearts}{6-Hearts} for aces and sixes by Fantoli.

Side Event Update

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Monica Vaka
Monica Vaka

The €330 Opener created a field of 143 entries and the prize pool worth €42,900 was split among the top 20 finishers. Unibet ambassador Monica Vaka was among them but reached the nine-handed final table as one of the short stacks before she was knocked out in ninth place for €1,070.

Notables still in contention include Ronnie Espensen, Apostol Beg, Nicolas Maillaud, [Removed:402], and Humberto Lopes Galindo. They are competing for a top prize worth €11,060 and many of those in the money will likely enter the €1,100 Main Event thereafter.

Suokas Wins Small Showdown Pot

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Only two players remained involved on a flop of {9-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{5-Hearts} when Jarkko Suokas checked and then called a bet worth 800 by Mats Karlsson. Both checked the {7-Spades} on the turn and the {j-Spades} river brought no betting action either. Karlsson confidently rolled over the {a-Clubs}{9-Clubs} for a pair of nines but Suokas had that beat with the {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}.

"Oh wow, kings?!" a rather stunned Karlsson said in table chat. He remains the superior stack despite losing this small pot.

Juutilainen Scores Near Double Through Desnos

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Three ways to the {k-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} flop, Killian Desnos checked and Emmi Juutilainen bet 1,500 for the French online casino games streamer to call. The {8-Diamonds} turn was checked by Desnos once more and Juutilainen bet 4,200 with 13,600 behind. As Desnos eyeballed the stack two seats over, he splashed in a call.

The {3-Clubs} river completed the board and Desnos bet 10,000. Juutilainen reluctantly called and was shown the {7-Clubs}{2-Clubs}, which she had beat with the {k-Clubs}{q-Hearts}. On this new table, Juutilainen also sits right next to her husband Henri.
