Gustavson and the River Check-Raise
2 months ago
On the first hand of this heads-up match Aaron Gustavson has done some serious damage to Peter Eastgate's stack.

and Gustavson check-called again, this time for 725,000.
The river was the 5

Senninger Out (3rd)
2 months ago
Nikolai Senninger was doing a good job all day of picking up chips but it all fell apart moments ago in a massive hand against Aaron Gustavson.
Nikolai opened from the button to 275,000 and Gustavson three-bet to 800,000 from the small blind. Nikolai called and the flop came down Q
7
3
. Gustavson led for 1.14 million and Senninger called.
The turn was the 9
and Gustavson moved all-in. Senninger thought it over for a long time but eventually made the call.
Gustavson: Q
T
Senninger: 8
8
Senninger was in terrible shape, drawing to the two remaining eights in the deck. The river was the T
, however, meaning Nikolai's tournament was over.
He's out in third and takes £285,000.

8
2
and Eastgate fired 835,000. Senninger tanked for a long time before counting out the chips and making the call. The turn was the T
and Eastgate checked somewhat reluctantly.
Senninger bet out 775,000 and the action was back on the reigning world champion. After some thought Eastgate decided to fold. Senninger picks up a very healthy pot.

Gudvangen Not Gud Enough (4th)
2 months ago
After doubling up Nikolai Senninger, Martin Gudvangen decided ace-three was good enough to commit his stack with.
Senninger proved to be his nemesis again making the obvious call with a dominating ace-queen.
After a board of blanks that included giving Senninger a flush draw to take away some of Gudvangen's outs, he busted fourth cashing £227,000.
Peter Eastgate still has the chip lead as we move into three-handed play.

Last Englishman Out (5th)
2 months ago
We've heard a lot of talk from the UK contingent here about a native taking down the main event here in London but it's not going to happen this year. Dominic Cullen was the last remaining Brit and he's just been eliminated.
He shoved 1.7 million with A
T
and got called by Peter Eastgate who showed down pocket eights.
An eight on the flop spelled disaster for Cullen and once the turn and river had made it official he was forced to get up and go. He's out in 5th and will take £173,000.

Senninger Flops Boat; Gets Paid
2 months ago
Nikolai Senninger has had a profitable few hands and now finds himself with close to 5 million. After the double we reported moments ago this hand with Martin Gudvangen developed.
Senninger opened to 250k from under the gun and Gudvangen called in the big blind. The flop came down K
K
Q
and Nikolai fired 280,000 after a check from his opponent. Gudvangen then check-raised to 735,000.
After a lot of thought Nikolai made the call and they both checked the 4
on the turn. The 5
came on the river and after Gudvangen checked Senninger moved all-in for 1,445,000.
Gudvangen thought it over and decided to call. Senninger showed pocket queens for the boat and Gudvangen is clearly shocked. Full house is good and Senninger takes it down.
