75-Min Day 2 Dinner Break Begins! 🍽️

Level 17: 6000/12,000 (12,000)
Entries: 180/2045

Players in the MPF Grand Event are now heading to a well-deserved 75-minute dinner break. After hours of intense hands, it’s a perfect time to recharge, refuel, and strategize for the night ahead. From analyzing earlier plays to chatting with fellow competitors, this break is the ideal chance to mentally reset before diving back into the action.

Once the dinner break wraps up, players will return to Level 18, with blinds at 8,000/16,000 and a 16,000 ante. The stakes are higher than ever, and every chip counts as they edge closer to the final tables. Good luck to everyone still in the hunt – let’s see who comes back ready to push for the big prizes!

Lise Kristiansen Runs Into The Rockets

Level 17: 6000/12,000 (12,000)
Entries: 194/2045

Lise Kristiansen, sitting with a stack of 175,000, made an opening raise to 36,000. Action folded to Stef Koning on the button, who came over the top with a re-raise, setting up a big clash. The chips went in the middle, and the cards were revealed:

  • Lise Kristiansen: AQ
  • Stef Koning: AA

It was a tough spot for Lise, facing the dominating pocket aces. The flop came down 446, offering little help. Hopes for a flush draw were dashed and the turn brought the 8, the K on the river sealed the deal for Koning.

Kristiansen exits after a valiant run, but this time she couldn’t break the aces. Koning scoops the pot and adds to his stack.

Stef Koning – 540,000
Lise Kristiansen – 0

You Know The Malta Poker “Fish” Likes To Flip

Level 16: 5000/10,000 (10,000)
Entries: 238/2045

A raise from early position and a call from the button led Malta’s well known poker player Antoine Degiorgio to also call the 20,000 bet. But Lucien Jouanneau had other plans for the pot, shoving his stack of 235,000 all-in. The first two players folded, and Antoine, feeling like “it’s flipping time,” made the call!

Lucien Jouanneau: A10
Antoine Degiorgio: KJ

The flop came 426, staying safe for the Frenchman, and the 4 turn and 5 river sealed it. Lucien takes down a pot worth over the average stack! Antoine of course took the lost flip with the huge smile, that he always wears!

Polish Duel: Falkowski Takes the Chips

Level 16: 5000/10,000 (10,000)
Entries: 256/2045


Jaroslaw Falkowski opened the pot to 20,000 from a stack of only 137,000 and got called by Marvin Dubau on the small blind. Another Polish player, Przemyslaw Drab, was in the big blind and raised it up to 80,000, which led to Falkowski going all in. Dubau folded, and Drab made the call. They revealed their hands: Falkowski held QQ while Drab showed AQ.

The flop came 410K, giving Drab a few more outs as every J would now complete a straight. The 4 on the turn was safe for Falkowski, and the 9 river sealed the deal, letting him scoop the pot from his fellow countryman.

Jaroslaw Falkowski – 204,000
Przemyslaw Drab – 360,000
