Boujenah Doubles Up

Ilan Boujenah has just doubled up through [Removed:39] and is continuing on his roller coaster ride. He got his 54,500 chips into the middle with {k-Hearts}{10-Hearts} and Berendsen called with {8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}.

The eights stayed ahead on a {4-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{7-Hearts} flop but fell behind when the {10-Diamonds} fell on the turn. The {5-Hearts} on the river completed the hand and Boujenah survives again.

Krizan Triples Up

Enver Abduraimov made the unconventional play of open-limping on the button, which prompted Tony G to complete his small blind. Zelkjo Krizan then moved all in from the big blind and both his opponents called, Tony G saying, "You only live once," as he tossed in his calling chips.

Unfortunately that was the last of the betting. As both active players checked down the {10-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{9-Spades} board, Tony G showing {j-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}, Abduraimov {4-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} and Krizan took down the pot with {A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}.

Ryynanen Five-Bet Folds

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Sampo Ryynanen has gained a reputation for being a loose-aggressive player and Yorane Keringard has either picked up on that or picked up aces just now.

Keringard opened from the cutoff to 8,000 and immediately faces a three-bet to 22,000 from Ryynanen on the button. With the action back on Keringard, he four-bet to 34,000. Ryynanen then five bet to 75,000 but that was not the end of the betting because Keringard six-bet to 118,000.

Ryynanen smirked before folding his hand.
