Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante

Espen Vaksdal

Espen Vaksdal raised to 60,000 from under the gun with {7-Spades}{7-Diamonds}. Sander van Wesemael three-bet to 165,000 from one seat over with {10-Spades}{10-Hearts}.

The action folded back to Vaksdal who jammed for 523,000 and Van Wesemael snap-called.

Vaksdal's Main Event was over after the {10-Clubs}{A-Hearts}{2-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds} board was unable to help him and he collected the eighth place prize of �4,900.

The remaining seven players are now each guaranteed a payout of at least �6,100.

Tons of Small Ball

Level 23 : 12,000/24,000, 3,000 ante

There haven't been any big pots recently but the stream has been entertaining with the two commentators making prop bets on various things including whether the flop will be mostly red or black.

Vaksdal Doubles With Sevens Against Skolem's Tens

Level 23 : 12,000/24,000, 3,000 ante
Espen Vaksdal

Kristoffer Skolem with {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} opened from the hijack to 55,000 before Espen Vaksdal with {7-Spades}{7-Clubs} three-bet jammed to 298,000.

Vaksdal, who just lost a flop, was a huge underdog when the money got in. However, he doubled up after the {5-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{j-Hearts} board gave him a straight while Skolem took a small dent in his stack.

Craig Timmis had a rough return from the dinner break. First, he was bluffed before soon later he was outmatched.

Jan-Mikael Kesanen opened to 60,000 from the hijack with {A-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}. Timmis three-bet shoved for 598,000 with {5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} from the cut-off. Sebastian Wahl called from the button with {k-Spades}{k-Hearts} and Kesanen folded.

The {8-Clubs}{j-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{3-Hearts} board wasn't able to save Timmis' tournament and he was eliminated in ninth place for �4,200. The eight remaining players are each guaranteed a payout of �4,900.

Craig Timmis raised from early position with {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts} to 50,000 and got a call from Sander van Wesemael from the big blind with {j-Diamonds}{10-Spades}.

Both players checked the {8-Spades}{7-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} flop before Van Wesemael led out for 80,000 after the {2-Clubs} paired on the turn.

Timmis called before he led out for 100,000 after the {a-Hearts} gave him two-pair. Van Wesemael jammed for 2,500,000 more than covering the 649,000 Timmis still had in his stack.

Timmis tanked before he folded the best hand and Van Wesermael hops into the chip lead.
