Calum Grant

Level 16 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Paulius Plausinaitis put Tsugunari Toma all in from the small blind and the latter committed his stack of 88,000.

Tsugunari Toma: A♦3♦
Paulius Plausinaitis: J♦2♦

Toma was in great shape to double again and had his opponent's diamonds covered. Plausinaitis had a gutshot straight draw to go with his pair-outs after the K♦Q♠9♠ flop. The 7♠ turn kept Toma ahead, but the air was knocked out of him after his opponent paired up on the 2♠ river to burst the money bubble.

Level 16 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Action folded to Paulus Plausinaitis in the small blind who moved all in. Tsugunari Toma had 75,000 remaining in the big blind and burned through two time banks as he considered the decision before folding.

A few hands later, Teun Mulder shoved from the small blind, having big blind Niklas Astedt covered. "I need a really big hand here," Astedt said as he peeled his cards.

"The first one I think I can muck," he added as he got rid of his cards.

Level 15 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Paulius Plausinaitis raised to 25,000 first to act. Tsugunari Toma committed his last 19,000 from the button. Teun Mulder and Niklas Astedt called from the blinds.

Action checked through to showdown for the board to read A♣A♦8♣8♠2♣.

Astedt announced flush with his J♣7♣, besting Mulder's 3x3x and Plausinaitis. However, Toma used his one time for the 100th time and tabled A♥K♥ for a full house and he hoovered in the pot.

Calum Grant

Level 15 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Steve O'Dwyer was all in for 52,000 from the hijack and at risk to Kayhan Mokri from the big blind.

O'Dwyer had K♣Q♥ and was up against Ax6x. The 10♦8♥6♠ flop looked like there would be a bust out until the K♥ turn gave O'Dwyer the lead, which he kept after the J♠ river.

The hand after, Teun Mulder opened to 24,000 from the button and called when Mokri moved all in for 78,000.

Kayhan Mokri: Q♦10♦
Teun Mulder: J♦9♣

Both players smacked the Q♣10♣8♥ flop but Mokri's two pair was behind Mulder's straight. The 5♥ turn and K♦ river then confirmed the Norwegian's exit.

Kayhan Mokri moved all in for 62,000 the next hand from under the gun. "Did you even look," Teun Mulder said.

"That's the quickest look ever," Astedt added. The table folded to Mulder, who called in the big blind.

Kayhan Mokri: K♥J♣
Teun Mulder: J♦10♥

The board ran out 6♦9♦2♥6♣5♣ and Mokri's king-kicker played to earn him a double up.

Level 15 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Kayhan Mokri raised to 25,000 under the gun, Steve O'Dwyer stuck in his last 2,000 in the cutoff, and Tsugunari Toma moved all in for 90,000 in the small blind. Mokri called to put both players at risk.

Steve O'Dwyer: 10♥6♥
Tsugunari Toma: A♦9♥
Kayhan Mokri: Q♣9♣

O'Dwyer hit a pair on the 10♠K♦7♠ flop, while Toma's ace-high remained in front of Mokri as the board ran out 2♠3♣. O'Dwyer tripled up, while Toma doubled up off Mokri.

"Back in it," Niklas Astedt said to O'Dwyer.

"Double back in it," O'Dwyer replied.
