Massive Overbet Moves "JBA888" Into the Lead

Level 24 : 10,000/20,000, 2,500 ante

"JBA888" raised to 40,000 from cutoff and called when Fabrizio "DrMiKee" Gonzalez made it 100,000 total out of the small blind. Flop came landed {8-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{9-Hearts}, and when Gonzalez opted for a check, the Costa Rican put all his chips to the middle - effectively 600,000. Gonzalez couldn't quite muster a call, and instead "JBA888" moved into the lead.

River-Shove Earns Frederik "Poelsetyv" Jensen Big Pot

Level 23 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Danish poker pro Frederik "Poelsetyv" Jensen have added nicely to his stack the last 10 minutes, primarily thanks to the big pot he just won off Brazil's Bernardo "bsdias" Dias.

Preflop Dias opened the action to 32,140 and Jensen called in the big blind. The flop {J-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} was checked through, before Dias fired 38,740 when checked to on the {3-Spades} turn. Jensen called and checked a third time on the {J-Spades} river. Dias fired 96,870 on the river, but ultimately let the hand go when Jensen moved in over the top.

Marton "WorldIsOurs" Czuczor Finds the Double

Level 23 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Marton "WorldIsOurs" Czuczor shoved his last 116,883 chips over the line and "glezna23" called from the big blinds. Czuczor's {J-Hearts}{9-Hearts} needed to connect with the board against the {K-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} of "glezna23", and he did just that when the flop came {2-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}.

The Hungarian was not out of the woods yet, and needed to fade both the straight draw, flush draw and overcard of his opponent, but the turn {6-Spades} and the river {10-Hearts} were both blanks, and Czuczor dragged the pot.

Agressive Start to the Final Table

Level 22 : 6,000/12,000, 1,500 ante

The remaining nine players of this $2,100 Super XL High Roller has definitely come to play. There has been tons of three- and four-betting going on in the very beginning of this final table, and especially the two big stacks, Fabrizio "DrMiKee" Gonzalez and Costa Rican player "JBA888" have already had some memorable clashes.

In the second to last hand before the break, it was, however, British player "LAP1215" and Jonathan "chut_up" Van Fleet who folded to the aggression of Gonzalez. Gonzalez made it 24,000 to go from the button, "LAP1215" called from the small blind before Van Fleet made it 96,000 to go out of the big blind.

Back on Gonzalez he four-bet to 173,000, and that was enough to prompt two folds.

Level: 22

Blinds: 6,000/12,000

Ante: 1,500

Pim "SuprNintend0" de Goede Eliminated in 13th place ($6,090)

Level 21 : 5,000/10,000, 1,250 ante

Pim "SuprNintend0" de Goede had been nursing a short stack for quite some time, and finally found a spot to put his last 43,655 in the middle. De Goede shoved after action was folded around to him on the button, but Jonathan "chut_up" Van Fleet quickly called from the small blind,

De Goede's {J-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} needed help against the {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs} of Van Fleet, but none came on the {6-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{4-Clubs} board, and the Maltese player was eliminated.
