Frederik Jensen Eliminated in 11th Place ($23,296)

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Frederick Jensen
Frederick Jensen

There has been some tussling between Frederik Jensen and Timur Margolin, having been sat next to each other since they made the final two tables.

Jensen had around 450,000 at the start of the hand and was in the big blind when Margolin open-shoved from the small blind. It was a speedy call from Jensen and they turned their cards over.

Frederik Jensen: {a-Clubs}{4-Spades}
Timur Margolin {a-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}

The flop hit a two for Margolin right out of the blocks, and Margolin moved into the lead. Neither the {10-Spades} turn or the {k-Clubs} river could bring it back for Jensen and he narrowly misses out on making the feature table.

Tough Spot for Jensen

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Timur Margolin and Frederik Jensen were playing out of the small and the big blinds, respectively.

The two were on the turn with {k-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} out and Margolin bet 150,000, which Jensen called.

The river came a {10-Clubs} and the Margolin moved all in, which covered Jensen's stack. Jensen went deep, deep into the tank, saying at one point, "I don't know what to do." Eventually, he decided to fold. He now sits on around 10 big blinds, whilst the pot boosts Margolin up the rankings.

Zizheng Huang moved all in for 425,000 from the button and Ismael Bojang re-shoved all in for about 1,700,000 from the small blind. Michael Marder folded his big blind and the hands were shown.

Ismael Bojang: {a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}
Zizheng Huang: {k-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}

The dealer fanned the {k-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{2-Hearts} flop and there was a king in the window for Huang to take the lead. The {a-Spades} hit the turn and Bojang spiked his ace to move back into the lead.

The {5-Spades} completed the board and Huang was eliminated in 12th place, taking home $29,563.

Andrew Brokos moved all in for 545,000 from under the gun and it folded to Ismael Bojang in the small blind. Bojang re-shoved all in for about 1,300,000 and Michael Marder folded his big blind.

Ismael Bojang: {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}
Andrew Brokos: {a-Clubs}{q-Spades}

The board ran out {a-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{5-Spades}{2-Hearts}, pairing both players but Bojang's king kicker was best. Bojang chipped up to 2,000,000 and Brokos was eliminated in 13th place, earning $23,296.

Haneberg Bets Big on the River

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Andre Haneberg
Andre Haneberg

Frederik Jensen kicked things off with an open of 85,000. Andre Haneberg called in the small blind and it was just the two of them going to a flop.

It was an {8-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{7-Clubs} flop and Haneberg checked to Jensen, who continued for 70,000. Haneberg called. The {9-Spades} turn saw a check each and the final card dealt was the {j-Hearts} on the river.

Haneberg lead for 265,000 and it sent Jensen into the tank. A call would have left him with 420,000 and in the end he decided to fold.
