Lukas Hafner raised, Duco ten Haven three-bet to 5,000 and Hafner four-bet to 15,500. Ten Haven moved all in for 65,800 and Hafner called with slightly more chips.
Duco ten Haven: Q♥Q♦
Lukas Hafner: A♦K♠
The board ran out 5♥4♣5♠7♠5♦. Ten Haven held with his pocket queens to win the pot and gain a huge double-up that brought his stack up to around 135,000. Hafner was left with just 1,500 chips.
Action was caught on the river with around 33,000 in the middle on the 2♣7♣5♠3♣K♥ board.
Marcello Miniucchi checked from the cutoff to put the action on Vincent Skolin, who was on the button. Skolin thought it over briefly before moving all-in for around 22,500. Miniucchi hesitated and went into the tank for quite some time before returning his cards to the dealer.
Jason Wheeler opened to 1,400 from under the gun, but Terence Plummer in the hijack three-bet to 3,000. The next players to act folded, until Jeppe Bisgaard four-bet all in for 19,400 from the big blind. Wheeler folded, but Plummer asked for the count and called.
Jeppe Bisgaard: K♣K♠
Terence Plummer: J♥J♠
Bisgaard remained in the lead on the 6♣6♠Q♥7♠6♥ board, so he secured a double up.
