Florte Less Than Happy About Two Outer

Level 13: 2,000/4,000 (4,000)
Entries: 77/260

Roar Florte opened for 10,000 before Istvan Krizsan three-bet jammed for a chunk of chips. Jonathan Stoll called off his short-stack before Florte also called off his stack as well.

Jonathan Stoll: AQ
Roar Florte: KK
Istvan Krizsan: [invalid notations] flop, however Florte slammed the table either out of anger or frustration or both after a miracle two outer for his opponents came on the A turn. No alternative miracle came on the 4 river. Florte was less than happy about his bad luck, but who could blame him?

“The same thing happened at the Norwegians!” Florte said before quickly leaving the table.

Although Krizsan won the side pot, his stack soon went into the back into the pot after shoving the very next hand his K9 into Emil Langeveld’s QQ.

The table was laughing about the last two hands before Sascha Manns, who was also at the table, piped up.

“Now you are just getting cute,” Manns said with a smile.

Nothing miracle happened for Krizsan on the 5AJ76 board and Krizsan’s stack went over to Langeveld.

Emil Langeveld – 200,000
Jonathan Stoll – 100,000
Istvan Krizsan – 0
Roar Florte – 0

Roar Florte takes a bad beat with cowboys

Bad Turn for Russo

Level 12: 2,000/3,000 (3,000)
Entries: 92/260

Giovanni Russo three-bet from late position to 27,000 over the early position open by Joengmin Lee. Joengmin called before he checked the Q98 flop.

Russo fired out for 18,000 and Joengmin called. Joengmin checked the K turn. Lee bet 21,000. Lee jammed a big stack and Russo snap-called for about 65,000 in total.

Giovanni Russo: AQ
Joengmin Lee: K9

Lee’s two pair was miles ahead and Russo, who was ahead on the flop only to fall behind on the turn, wasn’t able to get a miracle to save his Day 1c tournament life with the [8h] river completing the board.

Joengmin Lee – 300,000
Giovanni Russo – 0

Giovanni Russo not pleased with the “turn” of events

Nilsen Runs Tens Into Eketrapp’s Rockets

Level 11: 1,500/2,500 (2,500)
Entries: 105/260

Ingvill Nilsen jammed for 18,000 from under the gun. Arnasalon Chengalanee called from middle position before Stig Eketrapp there-bet jammed for 76,000. Chengalanee didn’t waste too much time before he called for a three-way showdown with both Norwegians Nilsen and Eketrapp at risk.

Ingvill Nilsen: 1010
Stig Eketrapp: AA
Arnasalon Chengalanee: AK

Eketrapp was ahead the entire way and even spiked the case ace on the river to double through Chengalee and oust Nilsen after the 7Q92A ran out on the board.

Stig Eketrapp – 173,000
Arnasalon Chengalanee – 20,000

Short-stacked Ingvall Nilsen runs tens into aces
