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

Joeri Scheerhoorn raised to 2,100 from the hijack, then was called by Tapio Jarvinen in the big blind.

Scheerhoorn made a continuation bet of 2,000 on the flop 8♦2♥7♦, and Jarvinen check-called. But after Scheerhoorn fired a second barrel of 3,200 on the turn 8♥, Jarvinen min-raised to 6,400.

After a few seconds, Scheerhoorn called, then moved all in for 15,400 on the river Q♣. Jarvinen, who checked, made the call.

Tapio Jarvinen: 8♠5♠
Joeri Scheerhoorn: 7♣7♠

Jarvinen hit trips on the turn, but the second eight on the board completed Scheerhoorn's full house. Covered, Jarvinen was eliminated just before the break.

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

On a board of 9♥A♣7♣K♣K♥, Florian Espiasse under the gun was into the tank with a red chip worth 5,000 in front of him, and Mihai Stefan was all in for 21,500 from the button. After a long moment, Espiasse eventually called.

Mihai Stefan: A♥K♦
Florian Espiasse: 7♥7♠

Espiasse called with a full, but Stefan hit a better full house on the river to double up. Down to 3,500 chips, Espiasse was eliminated a few hands later.

Level 1 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante

Two times Unibet Open winner Mateusz Moolhuizen three-bet to 1,700 on the button after Georgios Tavoularis opened to 300 from under the gun, and Monica Vaka called from early position.

Moolhuizen bet 2,400 on the flop 2♥5♥6♦ and made Tavoularis fold. But Vaka check-raised to 5,100. Moolhuizen eventually called, and called again when Vaka fired a second barrel of 8,500 on the turn 7♣.

The 7♦ landed on the river, and Vaka moved all in for 13,200.

"You have deuces, sixes or fives," said Moolhuizen. He explained he couldn't fold, so he called with K♥K♦. Vaka showed A♥10♥ for a missed flush draw that she turned into a bluff, and stood up to leave the tournament area. She is the first player eliminated of the day.
