Haneberg Bets Big on the River

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Andre Haneberg
Andre Haneberg

Frederik Jensen kicked things off with an open of 85,000. Andre Haneberg called in the small blind and it was just the two of them going to a flop.

It was an {8-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{7-Clubs} flop and Haneberg checked to Jensen, who continued for 70,000. Haneberg called. The {9-Spades} turn saw a check each and the final card dealt was the {j-Hearts} on the river.

Haneberg lead for 265,000 and it sent Jensen into the tank. A call would have left him with 420,000 and in the end he decided to fold.

Tough Spot for Jensen

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Timur Margolin and Frederik Jensen were playing out of the small and the big blinds, respectively.

The two were on the turn with {k-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} out and Margolin bet 150,000, which Jensen called.

The river came a {10-Clubs} and the Margolin moved all in, which covered Jensen's stack. Jensen went deep, deep into the tank, saying at one point, "I don't know what to do." Eventually, he decided to fold. He now sits on around 10 big blinds, whilst the pot boosts Margolin up the rankings.

Frederik Jensen Eliminated in 11th Place ($23,296)

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Frederick Jensen
Frederick Jensen

There has been some tussling between Frederik Jensen and Timur Margolin, having been sat next to each other since they made the final two tables.

Jensen had around 450,000 at the start of the hand and was in the big blind when Margolin open-shoved from the small blind. It was a speedy call from Jensen and they turned their cards over.

Frederik Jensen: {a-Clubs}{4-Spades}
Timur Margolin {a-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}

The flop hit a two for Margolin right out of the blocks, and Margolin moved into the lead. Neither the {10-Spades} turn or the {k-Clubs} river could bring it back for Jensen and he narrowly misses out on making the feature table.
