Small Pot for Frame

Level 1 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante

Kevin Frame opened the action with a raise to 300 and was called by Filip Holmqvist and Jan Kusters. Only the latter check-called a bet worth 400 on the {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{4-Clubs} flop and then checked the {q-Clubs} turn. Frame now upped his sizing to 1,400 and that was enough to win the pot.

The same table also features Martin Paap, who has been a regular on the European poker circuit in the mid-stakes buy-ins.

The Pot Sizes Are Increasing

Level 1 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante
Alfredo Cuti
Alfredo Cuti

On the river of a queen-high board with two diamonds, Alexandru Budai bet 3,600 only to face the large shove by Alfredo Cuti. The Romanian folded and was flashed the {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds} for the broadway straight by Cuti, who raked in the pot with a smile on the face.

Nicky Roeg continued his early hot run over on table eight and he pointed out a profit of 14,000. "I am not going to say who against," he added while smirking and looking towards the far end of the table where Frank Op de Woerd had already lost a decent chunk of his stack.

Juncker Jams Into Boghean

Level 1 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante

Joining the action on the heads-up turn of {k-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{8-Clubs}, Henrik Juncker bet 3,500 in the cutoff. He was up against Valentin Boghean on the button, who gave it some thought and then tossed in one of the blue T-5,000 chips for the call.

Another club came with the {q-Clubs} on the river and that's when Juncker pushed all-in for 21,000. That sent Boghean into the tank for a good minute before he opted to fold.

Beg Takes From Cabral

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Heads-up to the {5-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{q-Spades} turn, Apostol Beg checked his option and then faced a bet worth 2,100 by Robert Cabral which he opted to call. The {4-Spades} on the river was checked through and Beg glanced at the dealer if he was supposed to show first. That was indeed the case as he rolled over the {q-Hearts}{9-Hearts} for queens and fours, while Cabral briefly exposed his {a-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} while shaking the head,

Nyholm Among the Early Big Stacks

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Finland's Joona Nyholm has already gained nearly 50% in profit during the first level and some to become one of the early big stacks in the Day 1b field. The latest showdown hand saw him add even more chips when he was paid off by Bas Silvius on the {q-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{3-Clubs} river, as the Dutchman could not beat his {j-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for a queen-high straight.

Benso Chips Up in Showdown Against Espensen

Sergio Benso
Sergio Benso

Opening Event finalist Ronnie Espensen three-bet small and then called a reraise to 3,000 by Sergio Benso while Jaroslaw Tomasiuk also stuck around. The trio headed to the {j-Spades}{9-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} flop on which Benso bet 2,300. Only Espensen called and Benso checked the {4-Hearts} turn, prompting a bet worth 7,200 by Espensen and his own call.

The {3-Hearts} on the river was checked and a visibly relieved Benso raked in the pot with the {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}.

"A Lot of Heart" for Op De Woerd

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Frank Op de Woerd
Frank Op de Woerd

In a single-raised four-way pot the {10-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{2-Hearts} flop was checked and Frank Op de Woerd then took a stab on the {8-Hearts} turn by betting 1,000 out of the small blind. He earned one fold but Julian Freund called, while Nicky Roeg also let go.

"It's good that you have a lot of heart, just one heart but very high," Roeg joked and then added in a very serious tone to the dealer "I am not talking about the hand because that is not allowed!" Op de Woerd checked the {4-Diamonds} river and then folded when Freund bet 1,300.
