Henrick Hecklen raised it up from middle position and Daniel Kirsch three-bet to 5,700 on the button. The action folded back to Hecklen who four-bet shoved all in for around 60,000. Kirsch asked for a count and then made the call.

Daniel Kirsch: {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}
Henrick Hecklen: {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}

Hecklen was looking for an ace but none made an appearance and he sent all of his chips across the table to Kirsch.

Mackey Forces a Fold

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

James Mackey opened to 2,300 in middle position and the button player made the call.

The flop appeared {6-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{4-Spades} and Mackey continued for 3,000. His opponent tanked for a minute and made a re-raise for 9,000. Mackey chose to come over the top for 26,000 and that was enough to grab the pot without more resistance.

Borg Sends Lampropulos to the Tank

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

There was a raise to 2,000 and Maria Lampropulos called from the cutoff. Ronni Borg re-raised to 8,000 on the button and the initial raiser folded while Lampropulos called. The flop fell {q-Clubs}{8-Spades}{3-Spades} and Lampropulos check-called a bet of 7,200 from Borg.

The turn brought the {10-Hearts} and both players checked to the {3-Diamonds} on the river. Lampropulos checked for the third time and Borg dropped in a bet of 32,000. Lampropulos went into the tank for what seemed like five minutes before finally folding.

"Look at how long these levels are," one player at the table said. "We play one hand and the level goes up."

Jacobson Binks the River

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Martin Jacobson
Martin Jacobson

There was a raise to 2,200 from the under-the-gun player and a call from a player in the hijack. Martin Jacobson was on the button and announced all in before using both hands to slide his 18,300 chips into the middle. The initial raiser flicked in a call and they were left heads-up.

Martin Jacobson: {q-Spades}{j-Spades}
Opponent: {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}

The flop came {8-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{2-Hearts} and Jacobson missed one player at the table mentioning that they folded queen-jack. It didn't matter though, as the {3-Spades} on the turn and the {j-Diamonds} on the river gave Jacobson the best hand with a pair of jacks in order to double up.
