Persistent Persent on the Rise

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

In four-way action to the {5-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{2-Clubs} flop on the feature table, Jon Persent bet 2,000 and was called only by Radoslaw Matyjaszczyk with the {7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} for an open-ender. Persent held the {q-Hearts}{8-Hearts} for a flush draw and paired up on the {q-Spades} turn, betting again to win the pot.

Persent then got involved with the {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs} against Alan Sexton, who remained in contention with the {a-Spades}{5-Spades} in the cutoff. On the {j-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{3-Spades} flop, Sexton raised from 2,200 to 4,800 for Persent to call. The {k-Diamonds} fell on the turn and Persent check-jammed when Sexton bet 11,000 for half his stack.

Sexton called it off for 20,300 total with the gutshot and nut flush draw but bricked the {6-Diamonds} river to hit the rail.

Westby Chips Up Through Dijkkamp

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

In a battle cutoff versus button, the turn showed {j-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{7-Clubs} and Lennart Dijkkamp bet 4,600. Tony Westby called from one seat over by tossing in a single T-5,000 chip and the {2-Spades} river completed the board.

Dijkkamp now slowed down and checked, which led to a bet worth 14,000 by Westby. That was enough to avoid a showdown as Dijkkamp got out of the way after short consideration.

Heikela Takes a Bite Out of Karlsson's Stack

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

With around 10,000 in the middle to the {k-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{4-Spades}{9-Diamonds} turn, Mats Karlsson made it 6,000 to go out of the big blind. Jussi Heikela was his sole remaining opponent and raised it up to 13,000.

That sent Karlsson, a former runner-up of the EPT Malta Main Event at the Portomaso Casino around the corner from this very venue, into a brief tank. He then opted to fold and Heikela raked in the pot.

Karlsson opened to 1,000 shortly after and folded when a short stack pushed. Jenny Israel also got a three-bet shove through on the same table, which she concluded with a smile on the face and "thank you".

Szabo Takes Some From Lohunko

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Following a heads-up turn of {k-Spades}{5-Hearts}{3-Spades}{7-Clubs}, Sebastian Lohunko check-raised from 1,100 to 3,500 and picked up a call by Levente Szabo. The {5-Diamonds} on the river was checked by both players and Lohunko tabled the {6-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} for treys and fives with a missed gutshot.

Szabo had that beat with the {k-Hearts}{8-Hearts} for superior two pair and raked in the pot.

Santala and Dahl Knock Out Fantoli

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
Daniel Fantoli
Daniel Fantoli

In the last hand before the break, Daniel Fantoli five-bet jammed into Juho Santala and Baard Dahl. Both Scandinavians were more than happy to get their chips in as Fantoli was in dire shape.

Daniel Fantoli: {j-Spades}{j-Hearts}
Juho Santala: {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}
Baard Dahl: {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}

The board came {k-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{2-Spades}{2-Hearts}{9-Hearts} and the jacks found no help as Fantoli's stack was chopped between Santala and Dahl.
