Vainio Chips Back Up

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Over on table six, a war of who would blink first ensued when Finland's Jukka Vainio and Marcin Nadarzewski met. They had created a pot of 9,000 to the {3-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{2-Spades}{a-Spades} turn on which Vainio checked from an early position.

Nadarzewski now bet 4,000 and a check-raise to 10,400 followed. A stoic Vainio kept staring right to the middle of the board while Nadarzewski played with a single chip for more than three minutes, seemingly unable to make up his mind.

Eventually, the Pole settled for a fold and Vainio raked in the pot without showing any emotions whatsoever.

Espensen Gets a Shove Through

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

David Hu opened to 2,200 and was called by Zvezdan Tadic on the button, Ronnie Espensen also called out of the big blind. The {q-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{9-Spades} flop was checked to Tadic, who bet 2,700. Espensen then check-shoved for 17,500 and Hu quickly folded.
