Level 16 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Picking up the action on the flop with the board reading 8♣7♣3♦, Jans Arends checked from the hijack and the cutoff threw in a bet of 40,000 into a pot of around 65,000. Arends just called and the 10♥ landed on the turn.

Arends checked one more time and his opponent bet 125,000. Arends was left with a stack of 120,000 and dipped into the tank for a couple of minutes. He eventually called and his opponent showed K♦8♦ while Arends had that beat with J♣10♣.

Ace from Space for the Champ

Level 16 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Espen Jorstad raised it up in early position and the button reraised to 45,000. The action was back on Jorstad who shipped all in for 147,000 and the button asked for a count before calling.

Espen Jorstad: A♦K♣
Opponent: 10♠10♥

It was a coin flip and the flop of 5♦3♣3♦ left the pocket tens in the lead. The 5♣ on the turn meant Jorstad was searching for six outs on the river and the A♥ peeled off as the tabled rumbled. Jorstad managed to survive and double-up as the money bubble approaches.
