Just before the end of the day, Sam Trickett won another pot but this time I can talk about it because I finally saw a river. Sam got really aggressive since he came back at the average.

After a 10 minutes walk in the poker room I find Jonas Klausen, after his table had broken, involved in a hand against the Dutch poker legend Rob Hollink.
The belgian pro from Team Titan is eliminated just before the second break of the day.
At Blinds 150/300, Vicktor blom limped 300 UTG+1. The UTG +2 player raised to 850 and Joël Benzinou just called with pocket Aces. Then the next 3 players called.
Blinds 75-150: everybody folded until the button who raised 3bb. The small blind folded and Jonas in the big blind quietly called.
Flop: 2♠9♥3♣
Check-raise from Klausen. Call from his oppoenent.
Level 4 – Blinds150/300:
Joël Benzinou climbed to 37 K after having flopped a flush. The situation was too dangerous to try to obtain more value of it (possibilities of better flush on the turn and full-house on the river).
Sam Trickett has 37 K after an aggressive move on the river which made his opponent fold.
Jonas Klausen: down to 18 K (see the details next post).
Middle of Level 2, blinds 75/150:
At the precise moment I reach Marvin’s table, I see him standing. He has no more chips and his neighbor is adding many chips to his stack. “You see these chips? They were mine,” Marvin tells me.
“I paid a raise from a player in middle position. I was at the cut-off with 10♦9♦”.
