Drinks All Around

With the waiter awaiting orders, Liv Boeree asked for an orange juice. "Is it free?" inquired Mark Vos. "Yes," was the reply. "Oh, in that case, double vodka and Red Bull please," at which point, the rest of the table changed their order to one of an alcoholic disposition.

Vos Struggling

Mark Vos raised to 11,000 from UTG and Kristian Svensson smooth-called one seat down, leaving himself just 35,000 behind.

Both players checked down to the turn of a {2-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{J-Hearts} board before Vos led for 6,000 on the {7-Diamonds} river. Svensson called.

Svensson = {K-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}
Vos = {6-Spades}{2-Hearts}

Vos now in dyer need of a double up.

Belongs to Bessy

Bessi Bessy limped in on the cutoff and Tony G moved all in from the button for 18,800. Mark Vos called in the small blind, and Bessy called too, leaving himself just 10,000 behind.

Come the {6-Diamonds} {6-Clubs} {Q-Spades} flop, Bessy moved all in too and Vos called. Three way all in action, two of the three players with bounties on their heads!

Bessy: {J-Spades} {Q-Hearts}
G: {2-Hearts} {2-Spades}
Vos: {A-Spades} {10-Hearts}

Turn: {9-Spades}

River: {8-Clubs}

Thus Tony G is OUT and Bessy takes the pot and the delicious €250 bounty on the G-meister's head.

Cundari Can't Do It

Ninth place
Ninth place
Liv Boeree raised to 11,000 and to her immediate left Salvatore Cundari shoved for 30,000 total. Call.

Boeree: {A-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds}
Cundari: {A-Clubs} {J-Hearts}

Board: {3-Diamonds} {3-Spades} {5-Hearts} {8-Spades} {7-Hearts}

Cundari becomes our first in-the-money finisher, taking €440 for ninth place.

Wizard of Oz

An all Aussie battle now as a curious hand unfolded between Mark Vos and Tony G. It was Tony G who kicked off the action, making it 6,000 from early position, only for Vos to make it a total of 20,000 to play. Tony G immediately called. "Just call?" inquired a confused Vos. "Are you going to trap me with 2-3 again?"

On the {10-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} flop, Tony G checked, and Vos announced all-in.

"What you got that you need to think about?" asked Vos. "I have a small pair," came the reply.

After asking his opponent what he should do, to little avail, Tony G opted for a fold and Vos picked up the pot.

Tony G down to 25,000.
