Level 7 : 250/500, 60 ante
Frederik Jensen
Frederik Jensen

Frederik "Poelsetyv" Jensen opened up the action for 1,200 from late position, just to see Brazilian player "WHATaDREAM" push his 11,585 chips to the middle from the small blind. Jensen mulled over his decision for a few minutes before calling with {A-Clubs}{7-Spades}, and they were doing well against the {K-Clubs}{9-Clubs} of his opponent.

The {8-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds}{9-Spades} flop kept the Dane in the lead, and the {Q-Diamonds} on the turn changed nothing. The river {K-Diamonds} was just what the doctor ordered for "WHATaDREAM", and his two pair scooped the pot of 24,210.

Level 7 : 250/500, 60 ante
Chris "888Moorman" Moorman
Chris "888Moorman" Moorman

888Poker Ambassador Chris "888Moorman" Moorman have already made a final table in this Super XL Series, and the British poker pro's attempt at a second one is starting off just fine. Moorman didn't register until the beginning of level six, but despite just playing for 20 minutes, he's already been up to 35,000 chips.

A few minutes ago Moorman's march was brought to a halt when his {A-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} failed to make a flush against an opponent's {A-}{K-}. The flop did bring two diamonds, but not turn nor river materialized for the poker pro.

Nicolas "PKaiser" Fierro Runs Into Aces

Level 5 : 150/300, 40 ante

Nicolas "PKaiser" Fierro raised to 600 from early position before Johannes "TrollKonst8" Korsar decided to up the ante out of the small blind. 1,800 was the total tally, and back on Fierro he put it all across the line - 11,804 chips total. Korsar snapped it off with the mother of all poker hands - {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}, while Fierro was left drawing slim with his {A-Spades}{K-Hearts}.

The {10-Spades}{5-Spades}{9-Hearts} was as safe as it gets for the Swede, and when the turn {10-Hearts} neither opened up for the backdoor flush draw nor the straight draw of Fierro, TrollKonst8 could scoop the massive pot after the {6-Hearts} on the river, while Fierro opted for a rebuy and is back at 20,000 chips.

Luke "5typesofmeat" Reeves Good for the Early Rebuy

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

Lucas "5typesofmeat" Reeves are one of the players who's pretty content with the option of stuck rebuys.

The English poker player busted the remainders of his first bullet with {K-Clubs}{Q-Spades} all in against {A-Clubs}{7-Hearts} preflop. and just two hands later Reeves had to visit the virtual cashier once again, when he ran {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts} into the {K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts} of Argentinian player "tomekatos".

Reeves are now on his third buy-in of the night and back up to 20,000.
