William Pappaconstantinou raised to 230,000 in the cutoff, Andoni Larrabe reraised to 625,000 out of the big blind, and Pappaconstantinou put in a fourth bet to 1.33 million.
Andrey Zaichenko opened to 230,000 only to have Chris Johnson three-bet from the small blind to 575,000. Zaichenko called as the flop fell and Johnson led out for 600,000.
Zaichenko made the call, and when Johnson bet 1.1 million when the fell on the turn, Zaichenko went into the tank for close to six minutes before making the call.
The river landed the and Johnson immediately moved all in for 1,975,000 to put Zaichenko back into the tank before he eventually folded.
Bruno Politano raised to 250,000 from the hijack and was met by an all-in three-bet to 1.695 million from Maximilian Senft from the cutoff. Matthew Haugen called from the button, the blinds both folded, and Politano got out of the way.
Haugen:
Senft:
Senft got it in good and held through the flop, as well as the turn. All he had to do to double was dodge an ace and queen on the river, which is just what he did when the harmless appeared on the river.
"Is that Madrid or Bilbao?" Craig McCorkell just asked Andoni Larrabe, after he just got moved to this table.
"Athletic Bilbao," Larrabe proudly responded, as he's been supporting his Primera Division club all day.
"Are you Basque?" McCorkell continued.
"Yes, and where are you from?" Larrabe asked.
"I'm from London," McCorkell responded.
"How do you know Athletic?" Larrabe asked next.
"I played a season with them on Football Manager," McCorkell said, as Felix Stephensen's ears perked up.
"How did you do?" a very surprising Larrab responded.
"I was so s*** with them," McCorkell laughed.
"What a great topic!" Stephensen chimed in, as the Europeans at the table had a very casually chat about their favorite sport and video games.
After the remaining players made a big pay jump to $230,487 the atmosphere in the room seems to have taken a turn to the lighter side, because for now this secondary feature table is very much focused on sharing some good old Football Manager stories.
Matthew Haugen opened to 250,000 from the hijack and it folded around to Kyle Keranen in the small blind. He moved out a three-bet to 650,000 and action folded back to Haugen. He came back over the top with a four-bet to 1.35 million, eliciting a fold from Keranan.
Haugen took down the pot and now has 9.27 million in chips.
Dan Smith raised to 210,000 from under the gun and Chris Johnson called in the cutoff to see a flop. Smith led out for 250,000 and Johnson made the call, bringing the on the turn. Smith bet out 350,000 and again Johnson made the call. When the river landed the Smith bet out 675,000 only to have Johnson go into the tank before eventually moving all in.
Smith made the call for his 2,780,000 total and tabled his for kings full of deuces as Johnson and his would see him slip to 3 million in chips.
After open-shoving in two hands and taking the blinds and antes, Yorane Kerignard has taken another pot down preflop with an all-in raise.
In this third hand, William Pappaconstantinou raised to 230,000 from under he gun, Garrett Greer called on his direct left, and Craig McCorkell called on his direct left. Kerignard moved all in for 2.1 million out of the big blind, and took the pot down.
Thomas Sarra Jr raised to 300,000 from the cutoff only to have Leif Force three-bet to 750,000 from the button. Sarra came back over the top with a four bet to 1.8 million and Force quickly let go of his cards. Sarra pulled the pot and now has about 4.83 million in chips.
