Curtis Kohlberg - 7th Place
Curtis Kohlberg - 7th Place
Scott Freeman has the button in Seat 1. Action comes around to the blinds, where Max Greenwood raises it way up to 310,000 from the small. That is enough to cover Curt Kohlberg in the big blind, and he goes into the think tank for a couple minutes, leaning back in his chair and sighing heavily. He stares down at his chip stack, motionless, before he finally does make the call for his last 271,000 chips.

Greenwood: {K-Spades} {8-Hearts}
Kohlberg: {A-Hearts} {7-Spades}

Kohlberg is all in and at risk, but is slightly ahead. Things change fast, though, as the dealer spreads the flop: {K-Hearts} {4-Diamonds} {8-Spades}. Greenwood's top two pair leaves Kohlberg in trouble, drawing to runner-runner. The turn and river don't do it for him, coming {10-Clubs} and {Q-Spades} respectively.

Curt Kohlberg heads to the rail in seventh place, taking home more than $111,000 for his work.

Max Greenwood has the button in Seat 2. Action folds around the table to Scott Freeman who makes it 46,000 to go from the cutoff and Rene Mouritsen makes the call.

The flop comes {3-Diamonds} {K-Hearts} {5-Hearts} and Mouritsen passes the first option to Freeman who bets 70,000. Mouritsen folds and Freeman takes down the pot.

There is a dead button in Seat 3.

Scott Freeman raises to 60,000. Rene Mouritsen announces, "Raise," from the small blind. He makes it 170,000 to play. Everyone folds, and Mouritsen takes a small pot.

Rene Mouritsen has the button in Seat 4. Action folds around to Albert Iversen in the small blind, who raises enough to put Aliaksandr Dzianisau all in. Dzianisau makes a quick call and tables {Q-Spades} {Q-Hearts}. Iversen shows {J-Spades} {7-Spades}.

A miraculous flop of {4-Clubs} {J-Clubs} {J-Hearts} gives Iversen trip jacks and all he can do is shake his head and smile. The turn and river bring running aces and Iversen's jacks full are good enough to take down the pot and eliminate Dzianisau from the tournament in sixth place.

Albert Iversen has the button in Seat 6.

Rene Mouritsen raises to 60,000, and Jesse Chinni raises an additional two times the initial raise, making it 180,000 total. Action folds back around to Mouritsen, and he comes over the top again, with another 300,000 on top. When it comes back to Jesse Chinni, he quickly moves all in for another 1,053,000 on top, and Mouritsen snap-calls, having his man covered. Nearly half of the total chips in play are in the middle of the table, as the two men turn over their cards:

Chinni: {A-Diamonds} {K-Clubs}
Mouritsen: {A-Spades} {A-Clubs}

With a gigantic pot up for grabs, the dealer spreads the board: {Q-Diamonds} {5-Spades} {4-Hearts} {4-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds}. Rene Mouritsen rakes in the massive pile of chips, and now has more than half of the chips on the table.

Jesse Chinni started play just one hour ago with a massive chip lead. In that short span of time, he has fallen all the way down and out of the chip counts. He heads to the rail in fifth place, and will collect $183,069.

Hand #27 - Albert Iversen

Rene Mouritsen has the button in Seat 4. Max Greenwood makes it 50,000 to go from under-the-gun. Albert Iversen makes the call from the small blind and Scott Freeman announces 'Raise,' making it a total of 185,000 to play. Greenwood quickly folds and Iversen makes the call and sees a flop of {3-Spades} {7-Spades} {A-Diamonds}.

Both players check the flop and the {7-Clubs} falls on the turn. Both players check once more, and the dealer delivers the {8-Spades} on 5th Street. Iversen then leads out with a bet of 260,000 which prompts Freeman to surrender the hand.
