Mortensen Jams Into Gouget

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Heads-up to the {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} turn, Sebastian Mortensen made it 7,500 to go and was looked up by Florian Gouget. The duo headed to the {7-Hearts} river on which Mortensen wasted little time before moving all-in for around 18,000. Gouget pondered about his decision for a short while and opted to fold.

Small Pots for De Laat and de Jong

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Bas de Laat bet the heads-up turn of {a-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{j-Spades} for 1,800 and received a call by his sole opponent Levente Szabo. The {3-Spades} river completed the board and de Laat now bet 3,800 into a pot of 5,700. That was enough to win the pot uncontested as Szabo opted to fold.

Dehlia de Jong also earned a few chips to boost her stack early on. She opened to 500 and was called one way. Following a {k-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{9-Spades} flop, de Jong continued for 400 and that was all it took for her to win the pot right there.

Spampinato Takes From Gouguet

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Giulio Spampinato raised to 500 and earned one caller. Florian Gouget then three-bet to 1,500 in the cutoff and Spampinato reraised to 5,000. That forced out the cold-caller but Gouget came along to the {9-Hearts}{8-Spades}{4-Clubs} flop, which went check, check. Spampinato bet the {9-Diamonds} turn for 3,000 and Gouget surrendered right there.

Bujok Takes a Small Hit

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

In a battle of the blinds, the turn showed {10-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} and Szymon Bujok checked his option. Fokke Beukers bet 1,300 into 1,800 to receive a call by Bujok, who then also checked the {2-Hearts} on the river. Beukers bet 4,000 and the big stack mulled it over for a minute before calling.

Bujok sighed when he was shown the {4-Clubs}{4-Hearts} for a set of fours and mucked his cards.

Juutilainen Catches Moolhuizen Bluffing

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
Mateusz Moolhuizen
Mateusz Moolhuizen

Until the river of a {q-Spades}{j-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} board there was already around 24,000 in the middle. Mateusz Moolhuizen moved all-in with the covering stack against Henri Juutilainen and the latter reluctantly called.

"Good call," Moolhuizen said and tapped the table before exposing the {k-Spades}{2-Spades} for a pair of deuces and missed straight as well as flush draw. Juutilainen had that beat with {j-Clubs}{2-Clubs} for jacks and deuces to double for 17,300, leaving Moolhuizen on a short stack.
