Hrabec Doubles Through Gascoigne

Level 29 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Ian Gascoigne raised to 200,000 from early position and was called by Roman Hrabec in the big blind.

The flop came {a-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{5-Clubs} and Gascoigne continued for 275,000 before Hrabec moved all in for 470,000. Gascoigne called.

Roman Hrabec: {a-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}
Ian Gascoigne: {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}

Gascoigne couldn't believe it and was frustrated as his top pair top kicker had run into two pair. The turn of the {4-Clubs} and river of the {10-Hearts} ensured that Hrabec secured the double up.

Stausholm Puts in Cold Four-Bet Jam

Level 29 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Pedro Gois Neves opened to 200,000 from under the gun and Ian Gascoigne three-bet to 600,000 one seat over. Action folded to Martin Stausholm in the small blind who cold four-bet jammed for 2,390,000, causing Neves to fold, while Gascoigne chatted with his opponent a bit.

"Do you want me to call?" Gascoigne asked.

"It's up to you," was the reply from Stausholm.

Ultimately, Gascoigne sent his cards into the muck and Stausholm picked up a million in chips on the hand without even seeing a flop.

Gascoigne Adding

Level 28 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

There haven't been many flops at the final table yet, although Ian Gascoigne has won a few hands from raising and finding no callers.

On another hand, Gascoigne opened to 160,000 in middle position and Gabriel Roberts flatted the hijack. The all-low board was checked down and Gascoigne tabled king-queen to take the pot over Roberts' queen-jack.

Laszlo Molnar Eliminated in 10th Place (£18,540)

Level 28 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Laszlo Molnar
Laszlo Molnar

Laszlo Molnar opened to 505,000 from under the gun, leaving around 100,000 behind. Action folded to Ian Gascoigne in the big blind. He eyed up the rest of Molnar's stack and jammed to put his opponent to the test and Molnar called off his remaining chips.

Laszlo Molnar: {a-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}
Ian Gascoigne: {q-Clubs}{q-Hearts}

The {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} flop kept the pocket pair in front and so did the {k-Hearts} turn. The {6-Spades} river wasn't enough to save Molnar and his elimination has set-up the final table.

Gary Miller

Gary Miller raised to 160,000 from the hijack. He was called by Pedro Gois Neves in the cutoff and Jeremy Routier in the big blind.

The flop came {10-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} and Miller bet 180,000 when checked to. Neves raised to 375,000 which caused Routier to fold before Miller moved all in for around 1,100,000. Neves snap called covering Miller.

Gary Miller: {q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}
Pedro Gois Neves: {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}

Miller had top pair while Neves had an overpair with pocket aces. The turn didn't change anything as it came the {7-Spades}. The river was the {j-Diamonds} which eliminated Miller in 11th place.

Thor Morstøl Eliminated in 12th Place (£15,450)

Thor Morstøl
Thor Morstøl

Action folded to Mateusz Wozniak who raised the button to 200,000. With only 180,000 behind Thor Morstøl pondered and grimaced before putting his final tournament chips over the line and putting himself at risk.

Thor Morstøl: {k-Spades}{j-Diamonds}
Mateusz Wozniak: {a-Clubs}{5-Spades}

A board of {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} was no help to Morstøl who exits in 12th place.
