Rudolph Doubles and Gets Some More

Level 27 : 70,000/140,000, 17,500 ante

Christian "WATnlos" Rudolph lost a portion of his stack when he could not beat the {a-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} of Eelis "EEE27" P?rssinen for aces up on the {a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{9-Spades}{4-Spades} board.

Benjamin "bencb789" Rolle then raised to 280,000 on the button, P?rssinen called. Rudolph jammed for 2.55 million in the big blind and Rolle isolated successfully.

Christian "WATnlos" Rudolph: {3-Spades}{3-Clubs}
Benjamin "bencb789" Rolle: {a-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

The mighty pair held on the {q-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{5-Spades} board to let Rudolph double, who then also scooped a few of the medium-sized pots after to almost even out the three stack sizes.

Benjamin "bencb789" Rolle opened to 700,000 on the button and table short stack David "MonkeyBausss" Laka three-bet jammed for a shade over 1.5 million, which Rolle called after very brief consideration.

David "MonkeyBausss" Laka: {a-Clubs}{6-Hearts}
Benjamin "bencb789" Rolle: {k-Spades}{10-Diamonds}

Laka was ahead but it was Rolle that flopped best on {q-Hearts}{10-Spades}{4-Hearts}. Nothing changed on the {8-Spades} turn and {8-Clubs} river, which sent Laka out shy of a second title and the Spaniard collects $222,826 for the efforts.

Benjamin "bencb789" Rolle opened to 280,000 and was called by fellow big stack Eelis "EEE27" P?rssinen on the button. The German opted to check-call the {q-Hearts}{9-Spades}{8-Diamonds} flop for 238,000 and did so again for 854,000 on the {5-Diamonds} turn.

After the {2-Clubs} river, both checked and Rolle tabled {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds} as the winning hand.

P?rssinen Closes the Gap

Level 27 : 70,000/140,000, 17,500 ante

Benjamin "bencb789" Rolle limp-called a raise to 462,000 by Eelis "EEE27" P?rssinen in the big blind and check-called the {8-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} flop for 278,320. P?rssinen then led the {q-Diamonds} turn for 952,000 and Rolle check-folded.

In the next hand, David "MonkeyBausss" Laka forced a fold from Rolle on a {7-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{4-Clubs} to give his short stack a small boost.

P?rssinen Pulls Closer to Rolle

Level 27 : 70,000/140,000, 17,500 ante

Eelis "EEE27" P?rssinen made it 350,000 to go and was called by Benjamin "bencb789" Rolle in the big blind. They checked the {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{3-Hearts} board and Rolle tabled {5-Spades}{5-Clubs}, which P?rssinen had beat with the {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}.

One hand later, the two chip leaders played out a limped pot and Rolle bet the {k-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{8-Clubs} turn for the minimum, which P?rssinen called. On the {q-Hearts} river, Rolle check-folded when facing a bet of 472,500.

Small Pots Only

Level 27 : 70,000/140,000, 17,500 ante

David "MonkeyBausss" Laka fell further behind without being involved in any major pot and most other hands ended preflop or on the flop.

The two chip leaders played out a small pot in a limped blind battle when Benjamin "bencb789" Rolle min-bet the {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{4-Clubs} flop and Eelis "EEE27" P?rssinen called. The {k-Spades} turn was checked and Rolle bet 630,000 on the {7-Hearts} river, which found no call from P?rssinen.

The action kicked off with a button raise to 300,000 in total by Eelis "EEE27" P?rssinen and Andrei "ragAAAila19" Boghean made the call out of the big blind. On a flop of {q-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{6-Clubs}, Boghean check-called for 120,000 and they checked through on the {8-Diamonds} turn.

Boghean checked the {k-Spades} river with 1,139,412 behind and called all-in when facing the shove of P?rssinen. Both had improved on the river and Boghean's {k-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} was no good, as P?rssinen's {a-Spades}{k-Hearts} had the superior kicker. The Romanian exits in 5th place and receives $169,893.

Triple Up for Boghean

Level 26 : 60,000/120,000, 15,000 ante

The action started with a raise ton 264,000 by Eelis "EEE27" P?rssinen on the button and he was called by David "MonkeyBausss" Laka from one seat over. Table short stack Andrei "ragAAAila19" Boghean committed his last 454,804 preflop and P?rssinen called, as did Laka albeit reluctantly.

On a {j-Spades}{4-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} flop, Laka made it 145,000 to go and P?rssinen activated his time bank. After investing more than 20 seconds, P?rssinen folded and the cards were turned over.

Andrei "ragAAAila19" Boghean: {q-Diamonds}{7-Spades}
David "MonkeyBausss" Laka: {k-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}

Laka was ahead and that remained the case on the {j-Hearts} turn. However, Boghean spiked the {7-Diamonds} river and tripled up.
