Eskes’ Aces Hold Strong to Knock Out Erlandsson
Siegfried Kapeller started the action with a raise to 40,000 from the button. Tjenno Eskes, sitting in the small blind, responded with a three-bet to 140,000. In the big blind, Daniel Erlandsson, after using a time bank card, made it a four-bet to 240,000. Kapeller folded, and the action returned to Eskes. After using a time bank card, Eskes five-bet to 450,000. Erlandsson, checking the opponents' stacks, moved all-in for around 1,650,000, prompting a quick call from Eskes.
Daniel Erlandsson: A♥K♦
Tjenno Eskes: A♠A♣
Erlandsson was caught behind, needing a miracle to stay alive. The flop came 4♣K♠6♣, giving him some hope as he needed another king. However, the 10♥ turn and 4♦ river didn’t deliver, eliminating Erlandsson and sending Eskes to the top of the leaderboard with a massive boost.
