Le Boisselier Chips Up Further

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

In three-way action to the {a-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{3-Clubs} turn, Louis Le Boisselier made it 4,000 to go. Only Tomasz Brzezinski called and the {6-Clubs} river brought a fourth club on the board.

Both players now checked it down and Le Boisselier tabled the {a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} for flopped two pair and a rivered flush with the jack as the winning hand.

Rinne Ousted by Gala

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Domenico Gala checked the {j-Hearts}{7-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} turn and Toivo Rinne then bet 1,800 with around 7,000 behind. The check-shove by Gala followed and Rinne called it off.

Once Gala tabled the {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}, Rinne glanced at his cards from up close with a big smile on the face and said "I don't wanna show" before he exposed the {9-Spades}{7-Clubs}. The {2-Spades} river was a blank and the Finn vaulted out of his seat.

On the way out, he gasped "fuck, my beer" as the quick movement had actually drained the drink entirely on the floor, ensuring two beats in quick succession.

De Almeida Done by Juutilainen

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Both players paired their kicker on the {j-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{7-Spades} flop but nothing changed on the {j-Clubs} turn and {2-Hearts} river.

Nachtigall Escapes From Elimination for Now

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Down to a severe short stack, Matthias Nachtigall was all-in with the {q-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}. He was somewhat surprised to get called by Mats Karlsson with the {8-Hearts}{6-Clubs} and remained ahead throughout the {q-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{j-Hearts} board.

Karlsson remains near the top of the leaderboard in close contention with two other players.

Kozub Scores a Knockout

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Tomasz Kozub
Tomasz Kozub

The cards were already turned over when Ralph Chestersson was all-in and at risk against Tomasz Kozub.

Ralph Chestersson: {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}
Tomasz Kozub: {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}

The dominated pair also had both suits covered and there was no miracle escape for the Swede on the {j-Spades}{5-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{3-Spades}{k-Hearts} runout.

"Thanks guys," Chestersson said on his way out and then talked through some hands with Kozub shortly thereafter.

"Weird Finnish Dynamics" Result in Split Pot

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

The action folded to Dan Tolppanen in the small blind and he raised it up to 2,500. Esa Valliaro then three-bet to 10,000 only for Tolppanen to move all-in with the covering stack.

Valliaro suspected a flip and sigh-called all-in for some 40 big blinds.

Esa Valliaro: {a-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}
Dan Tolppanen: {a-Hearts}{10-Clubs}

The split pot was guaranteed by the turn on the {9-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{3-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{8-Spades} board. "I folded eight deuce," table big stack Jon Persent joked while Tolppanen replied "we have weird Finnish dynamics" before telling Valliaro he would have probably not called all-in with the ace-ten.

Louis Le Boisselier raised to 2,000 from under the gun and Tomasz Brzezinski three-bet to 5,200 from one seat over. Olli Rummukainen then four-bet to 15,000 on the button, which forced out the initial raiser.

Brzezinski had other plans and five-bet jammed for 34,800, picking up a swift call by Rummukainen.

Tomasz Brzezinski: {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}
Olli Rummukainen: {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}

The superior pocket pair held on the {10-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{a-Spades}{6-Hearts} board and Rummukainen was left with a short stack.
