20 Minute Break

Level 16 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

There are five minutes remaining in the current level and the players have been sent in a 20-minute break after the bubble has burst. Chip counts and the redraw for the unofficial final table are to come.

Valerie Ross Bubbles the High Roller

Level 16 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Valerie Ross moved all in for less than seven big blinds and Peter Jaksland called, the rest of the table folded.

Peter Jaksland: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Spades}
Valerie Ross: {J-Diamonds}{j-Spades}

The board ran out {A-Spades}{3-Spades}{2-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{J-Hearts} and a meaningless set of jacks on the river was no good for Ross, who bubbled the High Roller.

Pop bests Jaksland Twice

Level 16 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Catalin Pop called a bet worth 103,000 on the {Q-Clubs}{7-Spades}{2-Spades}{Q-Spades}{10-Clubs} river and Peter Jaksland showed {4-Clubs}{4-Spades}. Pop had that beat with {A-Spades}{10-Hearts} and raked in an important pot.

Soon after, Pop raised to 35,000 and Jaksland defended the big blind. The {10-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{2-Spades} flop and {j-Clubs} turn brought no betting action. Jaksland checked the {8-Spades} river and called a bet worth 98,000 by Pop. The Romanian rolled over {A-Clubs}{A-Diamonds} and claimed the next vital pot.

Big Pot for Jaksland

Level 15 : 6,000/12,000, 1,500 ante

It may have been one of the very few hands that Sergi Escote lost thus far today, and it proved to be an expensive one.

Peter Jaksland raised to 27,000 from the cutoff and Escote called on the button. On the {A-Clubs}{J-Spades}{3-Diamonds} flop both players checked and Jaksland then check-raised the {Q-Hearts} turn to 105,000, which Escote called. After the {5-Clubs} river, Jaksland bet 273,000 and Escote took a long time before announcing the call.

Jaksland turned over {K-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for the nut straight and claimed a big pot on the direct money bubble.
